Calzaghe, Hopkins Verbally Collide at Presser

[seebert]

Hopkins is a criminal

I don't know what it is Hopkins does, but he is damn good at it. Joe would have been in trouble if it even resembled boxing. Cortez should have been embarrassed for not taking a point for all the holding. Hopkins was ****ting his pants in the later rounds, not that Joes 'touches' were hurting him, but Bhop was getting gassed and he know he was losing. I lost a lot of respect for Hopkins tonight. I used to love him but I feel like he is regressing into the criminal he was 20 years ago. Damn, white guys are kicking ass. HW, LT HW, MW.

fair enough, where im from if youre more beat up than the guy you fought, you lost, if a judge saying you won makes you feel better, more power to you. History will reflect that a 43 year old Hopkins beat a UK legends ass but lost a decision, im cool with that as well.

how on earth was he more beat up? he had a gash on his nose from a headbutt. besides the flash knockdown it was hopkins trying to survive by playing dead from phantom lows all night. neither guy was beat up but I sure as hell would have rather been calzache than hopkins that night

I need to watch the presser, not read it. There has gotta be a video of it out there, somewhere, y'all.

Hopkins pressers are more exciting then the fights these days. He played the hand he was dealt but Lord All Mighty was I sick of watching his hugging all night by the end of the 12th. On the flip side it was very entertaining watching him play off those "low blows". Funny as hell. He is a smart guy but I can't see ever paying PPV again for a Hopkins fight no matter who the opponent.
