Not only do I agree with you but I also think you have the best username of the entire BS userbase.

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.

The hell are you babbling about? You're an idiot if you think a liver shot is automatic KO and you're a bigger one for doing the same you've never laced 'em routine.

He took the dive no ****ing doubt about it.

Oscar is a business man and that's all he is.

Is that a Simpsons version of Bret Hart? How the hell did I miss that episode? Bret Hart was my wrestling hero growing up.

I won't even get in the details of body shots, but the point is Oscar would have given up his never been stopped record for... what exactly? can someone explain?

I think DLH and Hopkins had something going before the fight, They both came out looking ok, DLH was winning the fight for the most part, then Hopkins KO's him. What makes me think that it was fixed was that same round in Hopkins corner Hopkins tells his corner man "this is my round, this is it"..or "this is my round..this is my round"..then he goes out and knocks DLH out with a questionable body shot..its just seems fishy to me. If anyone watches the fight again pay attention to B-hops corner and you will hear it.

While I tend to be su****ious of bodyshot KOs as far as I could tell from watching (and re-watching) the fight it was legit. Hopkins record the past few years is deceptive as far as his power goes. He's been playing a safety first style for years now so it's easy to forget that when he was younger he was considered a hell of a puncher. De La Hoya just happend to be the unlucky soul Hopkins decided to cut lose on.
