Did I hear right? Hopkins told Kelly he needs to fight more like a black fighter?

[Murray]

lol

He was talking about him moving his legs ect being elusive bending his knees more..

[Porter's Dad]

Yeah, I think I heard that too, or something along the lines.

I think Pav finished the conversation by saying "yes sir" to him, which just sort of encapsulates everything.

"Don't let this fight destroy you," Hopkins told him. "You're a great middleweight champion. You have a great heart. Keep your head up. Keep fighting. You have to learn one thing. You have to learn that slickness that black fighters have and then you'll really be a great champion. I don't want you to quit. If I have to go to your house and take you to the gym, I will."

This was the quote. I don't think he meant it to be like racist. It was pretty nice of him actually.

haha u cant teach that ****

[Darkstar]

Yeah he did say that. Meaning be boring, hold, dont KO anyone, take it to the cards, JUST TAKE IT SAFE.

Who wants to hug and headbutt and run thats not being elusive or talented to me...thats just dirty

Yeah true he didnt need to resort to anything like that.

I didn't see anything wrong with the comment. It didn't seem like some black fighters are better than white fighters type comment, thats just how Hopkins is. I also thought his whole speech at the end was great, it seemed like a totally different Hopkins then the one that fought Calzaghe.
