Did DLH take a dive in the Hopkins fight?

[shawn_]

It is obvious that Oscar was hurt to the body in the 5th round. If you think Bernard Hopkins wouldn't notice this too, you are crazy.

Bump!! Everyone vote on this!

Turn up your volume!

Thank you! For christ's sake, you don't have to be a boxer to tell what was going on there. Oscar was a trained fighter who was trained to take body shots, never went down one one, Hopkins never knocked a guy out with one, Hopkins was telling his corner prior to the KO "this is my round", and the guys in the corner were yelling "body shot!!!" before it even happened. Couple that with Oscar's bad acting on the canvas and him making Hopkins his business partner within a week of the KO, and you can't argue anything else.

Nobody knows for sure exactly but for ****'s sake, don't bring this "you never boxed" **** up. No, I haven't boxed but does that automatically disqualify my boxing knowledge and my thinking brain? You don't have to be a boxer to know if a fight was fixed or not.

Gunstar, I really hope for the love of god that you don't believe that video with blatantly dubbed audio is the genuine article.

Of course not, but it is funny.

Good post!

Good post!

Funny video though I know it's not real, but honestly. I think anyone with half a brain has the right to question whether or not Oscar took a dive. Perhaps he broke down mentally as previously mentioned, which is another likely possibility but I can't see him breaking mentally....not after he'd already had great fights with guys like Mosley, Vargas, and Trinidad.

Definitely one of the more suspect knockouts.

it was a pinpoint shot, and hopkins is way bigger the oscar muscle wise 15-20 lbs... damn oscar was hurt i never heard anybody scream like that

[Ranger2408]

this old question, this has been raked over a million times.

Yes he took a dive, the freaking judges stood up with cards saying 10, all three.

I am surprised that this many people think he took a dive. It would be almost impossible to pull off an act that big. The people who think he took a dive have just never taken a hook to the liver before. Believe it or not, that shot is actually that debilitating, whether it looks like it or not.

Scream like what? I can't hear a scream.
