We all saw Hopkins reaction to the rabbit punch. It was definitely behind the head, but he put Direll to shame. It looked as if he was just trying to get an extra breather. Not only that, but he did it a couple of time during the fight. When he was asked about his reaction Hopkins said " I see spots man" Was he? or was he not?
The question is why would Hopkins go to such heights when he was clearly winning the fight and Roy was just happy not to get knocked out, so a breather was available at any time without a need for all the drama
Because he wanted to add drama to the fight, obviously.
as mentioned in an earlier post the punch was probably as hard as the punch that hopkins hit roy at the back of his head, imho their was a bit of acting in hopkins part to get some breather ...

if roy hurt em that bad with that half hearted tap, then hopkins woulda been flat on his back tonight. Roy had no power in there and we all know it

Yes I have and with 6OZ gloves if I may add. But that is besides the point, as that is not the question. Was he acting or do you believe Hopkins was hurt?
it might have hurt a bit but not that much lol
punches behind the head do hurt but I think he was mostly acting. I disagree with everyone who thinks he needed a breather though. He doesnt need a breather, espically against an RJ who isnt doing much. I think he did it to steal points and it worked. RJ got the point deducted and Hopkins will take that everytime
