That fight Hopkins had with Oscar reminds me a lot of a fight long ago between Alexis Arguello and Boom Boom Mancini. He let Mancini win the majority of the fight. And BoomBoom is a very busy fighter who, when he smells blood, will get busier. Arguello let him gain confindence and BoomBoom got more couragious. Then Arguello finished him I think in the late rounds with a horrific barrage of combos.
When people say "Hopkins is a throwback fighter" or "old school", they mean exactly that. They are tacticians and strategists. They will choose to lose many rounds to win one decisive round that would turn the fight.
