      Rome, that was a ****ing diabolical fight. It was certainly no chess match, unless chess consists of one side flailing away continuously whilst the other side choses to do anything except throw any punches until the conclusion of the contest.

        Yeah, it was like a chess match where a ****** knocks over all of his own pieces while the other side falls on the floor holding his bishop and hoping the ref will say it's a checkmate.

          hopkins won the fight.

          the judges got it wrong and mainstream fans dont know how to score. they dont take defense or ring generalship into account or differentiate between effective aggression and clean effective punches as opposed to plain aggression and ineffective shots.

          when scored correctly hopkins won the fight by a comfortable margin.

            it was a close fight. you can't call a close fight a robbery.


            who won?

            on the scorecards that mattered?

                  Thats only because a few ******s are still sore about it, and its obviously race related too. This crap always comes up whenever Bernard 'The shipping forecast' Hopkins fights.

                    LOL,I don't think it's race related(I hope not),I thought it was a close fight..Even the night of this fight in my house there was debate all night over who won..
