Is that story true? Rumour is that the bodyshot Hopkins dropped Oscar with caused Oscar to chit himself. Where did the story come from?
Did Bernard Hopkins really make Oscar De La Hoya soil himself?

First I've heard of it but considering the shot that dropped him I wouldn't be surprised. Now that I think back on it I remember thinking DLH could have gotten up but if he had a load in his shorts he wouldn't have wanted to stand up and continue fighting. That would explain why DLH pounded the mat in frustration...Do you have any links? -
Where DO these silly stories come from?
Or, silly DO-DO stories?
You can see the fight via various YouTube bootlegs.
Oscar got hit a tremendous shot, and really, that kind of thing is more likely to shut your systems down. When you're scared, is another situation entirely.
Oscar was down and writhing for well beyond the 10 count, and pounded the mat because it was so aggravating to go out like that.
He was on all fours for quite a long time, just aggravated by the paralyzing pain. But...he did get up and do an interview with Larry Merchant.
I don't know what he was wearing under the shorts (nothing too "funny" I assume -- unlike some pix he posed for after his career) but Merchant wasn't holding his nose.Comment
