2 questions about Hopkins-Wright

[Fox McCloud]

1. What was the music that was playing when they were showing the highlights of Hopkins's career in between Wright's entrance and Hopkins's entrance?

2. What was the music that Hopkins came out to? I know it was UGK, and a little bit of it sounded like an excerpt from International Player's Anthem, but I don't think that was the song.

Can anyone help?

Bun B wrote a song just for Hopkins, so it could have been that. I know he used it for the Tarver fight

How ****ing badass would that be if you were cool and famous enough that a rapper wrote a song specifically for you?

Do you know what it is called?

I was there but I don't really remember the entrance songs. I thought it was a very close & entertaining fight. Only after did I learn about how much the HBO crew & media were knocking the fight.

Yeah me and my bro went there. We were rooting for Hopkins and were very scared for the decision until the 12th round. We both figured Hopkins won by 1 round, and that the judges and HBO crew probably had no idea what they saw. Sure enough they had goofed on the score cards being wayy too generous for B-Hop (117-111??!) and HBO blasted it and said it didn't compare to Forrest-Baldomir. Hahahaha what a **** comparison, that was a joke matchup.

I had it 116-112 Hopkins. 117-111 is stretch I guess, but at worst that fight was a draw. I thought Hopkins clearly won.

I mean I could see 116-112 MAYBE, but I thought Winky was frustrating BHop a lil and BHop was looking like he was setting up the later rounds by wearing him down. They were brilliant in there though, throwing feints and dipping counters, Winky actually landing the jab and bothering Hops, Hops landing his left hook somewhat regularly towards the end.. and not that Jermain Taylor 'landed' punches that are just punching his arms very hard, X was actually able to hit Winky flush.

Wright landed the Jab pretty good in rounds 3 and 4. Then he had a surge again in rounds 8 and 9.

I felt a lil safer after Hops convincingly won the last 3 rounds. Before that I had him losing.

I was shocked when they awarded it to Hopkins. What exactly did he do to win the fight?
