Who performed better against Hopkins?

[mic573]

I'm talking about him (Oscar) being defensive in the interview.

What were they asking him?

[jabsRstiff]

Wow....Oscar won some rounds.
Wait, Hopkins gave him those rounds.

At least Trinidad pressed the fight, HAD SOME SPIRITED EXCHANGES, posed a threat, & WENT OUT LIKE A FIGHTER !

[jabsRstiff]

What were they asking him?

Mic...

That's what I'm talikng about...they asked him NOTHING, & he was emphatic about how he has the heart to get up.
Why ? Because he was feeling GUILTY.

[mic573]

All he said was he tried to get but he couldn't. If you watch the fight you can see he makes an effort to get up but went back down. That wasn't acting he was in pain.

[jabsRstiff]

No, he said more than that. Check it again.


I can't believe that just-O.K. punch left an in-shape, world class fighter in that much pain.
When Gatti BLASTED Dorin, did Dorin roll around, writhing in pain ?

That a hard question. Hopkins overestimated Oscar, which isn't bad, better safe than sorry. But Oscar got knocked out 3 rounds earlier than Tito. But Tito got a beat down mostly throughout. I'd have to say, Tito had a better performance against Bernard. Hopkins fought the fight he should have fought against DLH against Tito and Tito droppped in the 12th still trying to fight hard. Hopkins started to bring the fight to Oscar later than usually and Oscar didn't last very long.

It was more than just an OK punch. The punch landed good. He didn't turn the punch over completely but it was far from a slap or whatever else people want to call it. It doesn't matter how good of shape a fighter is in if they get hit to the body good especially to the liver they can go down. When Oscar got hit he went down holding his side and when he tried to get up he fell back down and rolled over to his side. It's not like Kenny Bayless reached the ten count and he sprung up he was down for awhile. A lot of the older fighters have always said that a shot to the liver is the worst punch to get hit with.

Oscar De La Hoya is a very great fighter. He is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see his next fight.

We have not forgot, or are saying DLH sucks because obviously he may be the greatest figher in this era. But this is about his fight with big bad Bernard.

And tell me, what did DLH do in the Hopkins fight that impressed you?
