Was I the only one bored with Pavlik-Hopkins?!

[C.Y.]

It was a Hopkins fight what did you expect, lol. If you bought the fight i'd be pissed. But most everybody here as i who didn't pay thought it was ok of a fight, again its a Hopkins fight, never expect much action, expect a lot of holding and running.

i bought the fight and i was very pleased with what i saw.. it was an exciting fight.. i guess u guys are used to boxers with negative defense and rocky style slugfests

Good to see that you didn't see it.

There were less than 10 clinches in the whole fight. That point deduction was absurd. No warning or anything.

Pavlik got a couple of warnings before his unwarranted point deduction.

He also didn't really run, he moved around some, but... not as much as you would expect, and he threw out vicious, assbeating combinations. He looked even more savage than he was back when he was The Executioner.

You meant "There were less than 10 clinches per round."..


..RIGHT!?!

It was entertaining in my opinion. His most entertaining fight since Trinidad. Tarver fight was ok. The 2 Taylor fights Bernard ain't let his hands go. Winky fight ******. Calzaghe fight was fair. There were some clinches but nothing ridiculous.

That was classic & masterful performance Hopkins put on last night. This is boxing. It is not a Rocky movie.

Keep telling yourself that. Wack ass, boring ass fight. **** Hopkins

the main event was the PPV for me...

for some reason i had a hard time getting into the undercards really...

the first fight was a first round knockout (i believe)...

the second was very good (best undercard in my opinion)...

and the third undercard was kind of boring seeing as how dib was so outmatched that it wasnt all that competitive...

pavlik v. hopkins wasnt going to be like pavlik v. taylor I or pavlik v. miranda...

he was fighting hopkins (who is 43) so i expected hopkins to do what he could to maintain his stamina...i didnt expect too fast paced of a fight...i didnt start to really appreciate hopkins' intelligence and brilliant performance until around the 6th or 7th round...from then on hopkins got more and more comfortable and really winning big.

for the first 4 rounds i was waiting for pavlik to take control and hopkins to begin to slow down/tire out...

instead hopkins put on a great show.

Very entertaining fight. Less like an action movie, more like a drama in which the lead actor is giving an Oscar-worthy performance. To call it boring says a lot about the person who is bored, IMO.
