VID: B-HOP Being KD'D twice!

[riera]

Yeah but Joe coldnt decisively beat Hopkins at 43 years old. You know and I know that Hopkins should have won that fight. Hopkins wipes his ass with Joe and the Brit flag.

exactly. That fight was before his prime anyway. Based on that wankers logic of Mercado's KD as proof, Calslappy's 1st round KD proves he got by an old man. That is why i hate Anglais chiennes. Obnoxious pricks like to have double standards and never stop talking ****.

This fight is old news and so is the rematch. I was about 11 or 12 when I saw the first one on Sky Boxing Gold and even then it was a few years old! Change the record, it's not last weeks news and has no relevance to today.

[Equilibrium]

Both of these knock downs look like he was pushed more than anything else. Not saying he wasn't hurt but that's not what i call a "clean" knock down.

[ANDROID_DOES]

Mercado took a worst beatin then Gatti did against Mayweather...just watch the 2nd fight.

post the vid of the rematch will ya?

DVD pick of the week: In honor of the amazing Hopkins' 43rd birthday on Tuesday, I decided to go back to a time before the light heavyweight champ was boxing royalty. On Dec. 17, 1994, "The Executioner" was just another fighter trying to achieve his championship goal and make some money. That's when Hopkins, who had lost a decision to Jones for a vacant middleweight belt 19 months earlier, got another opportunity to fight for the belt that Jones vacated in order to move up in weight. Hopkins met Segundo Mercado on Showtime in Quito, Ecuador, but Hopkins arrived only a few days before the fight and had very little time to adjust to the elevation -- almost 10,000 feet. Even though Mercado knocked the usually iron-chinned Hopkins down twice in a good fight, Hopkins was in command. However, it was ruled a draw in Mercado's hometown. Hopkins was robbed and the title remained vacant until he finally got his belt four months later, stopping Mercado in the rematch in Landover, Md. It was a title Hopkins would keep for the next decade.

and boy did Mercado take a serious beating in the 2nd fight. B-Hop had target practice with his right straightz

[ReadyUp]

Mercado was a pretty popular fighter in Equador huh?

The people were going nuts in that vid.

Change the name of this thread to "PROOF THAT A PRIME SLOPKINS COULD NEVER BEAT ANY VERSION OF CALZAGHE!!!"

Yo, STFU. At least Hopkins left his house for that fight, while your boy was scared of planes, mother goose, the big bad wolf, and gave every ducktale under the sun in why he wouldn't come stateside for a fight. ***zaghe was comfy in his little shack, in a **** town, fighting bums no one had heard of outside of Eubank.

Lol thats why Americans STAY in America, Look B-Hop was KD against Who?

Notice how the rematch was back in America, Funny That

@Great Joe

Wow, some good 'ol home cooking, Who'd a thunk it? Thanks for playing. Now go come up with an excuse why No Confidence Joe ducked Glen Johnson twice (a man B-Hop stopped) and hasn't said his name to date.

“To this day, no man has ever kept me at bay like Bernard did,” said the refreshingly candid and disarmingly honest Johnson. “I’d never fought a guy like Bernard. Nothing I had ever experienced, not in fighting, not in gym sparring, prepared me for what that guy did to me.”
