hopkins celebrates like a *****

Maybe he should have broke out in tears like Mayweather did after beating gatti. lol

I think everyone here would be pretty damn happy if you just made your first real big paycheck after *****g in years of hard work (I do believe he made around $10 million for that fight).

It was a perfect body punch.

clearly a dive, hopkins is big but no way would he put oscar away with one body shot like that.

the "BODYSHOT!" "BODYSHOT!" shouts in the stand kinda gave it away

I have strong su****ions that GBP fixes fights and it wouldn't surprise me if Oscar took a dive there. Oscars fight with Sturm had to be fixed--no ****ing way he won that fight. He came in looking completely sloppy because he knew the judges were in his pocket and you could see it on his face when the decision was read. DLH vs PBF -- not even close to a split decision, but a split decision necessitates a rematch which is exactly what he wanted.

What would the motive be for Oscar to take a dive against hopkins though? Hopkins was a big favorite going into the fight, so it's not like it was an upset. He was also a favorite to win by KO, so if it would have been smarter to just go the distance.

Plus, people aren't really even considering that oscar really didn't belong at 160 and never been hit by a big guy before in his career.

body shots can be deceiving too. here is roy jones vs hill, the body doesn't shot doesn't LOOK all that bad at all, but dude looks like he's giving birth on the canvas. This is also a punch that lands on the side, near the liver, just like the hopkins shot

Yeah, the thing is he has not much to lose in he lose. I tried to look at the punch several times and it looks like it even hit DLH's forearm first.

[MELLY-MEL...]

hy would odlh take a dive? Money? He quit? Some other reason? I just don't see it.

[warp1432]

Also what kind of dead obvious sign would be "BODY SHOT" "BODY SHOT" anyway? ****m Richardson always yells **** out in fights like that.

Oscar definietly went down on that punch. If he stayed down on purpose I don't know, but it definietly wasn't agreed upon.

He threw the fight, **** de la puta............




Nah, just ****in around, but gettin hit in the perfect spot in the body is like gettin hit in the perfect spot in the head/chin......you're going down!
