Those almost look like karate blocks.
You're probably right. I'd expect Bernard to study other disciplines with him being a student of the game and all. He practices boxing as a martial art, taking away what the opponents trying to do, using their momentum against them etc.
His comment at 5:28 suggests he's brought it in from outside the discipline. He wouldn't have to state that it was legal if he hadn't.
Probably the smartest active boxer. Hes nowhere near the physical advantages of his opponents but still can win it. Floyd is usually the faster guy, the longer reach. Bhop doesnt worry about it, not to even mention his age.
He will be missed, I don't think we'll see another another B-Hop in our lifetime.
What are you talking about. B-hop is going to fight for 10 more years.
As much people like to criticize Hopkins being "boring", we'd all want to emulate Hop's style.
Pure technique, doesn't get you KO'd, and you don't have to be best of the best athlete to emulate his style. The guy knows every trick in the book.
I don't know how anyone can say anything negative about Hopkins when it comes to the sweet science. You may not like him as a person, but he is a boxing legend.
