i remember watching that fight with my family, and i was a youngster, but i knew of boxing somewhat, and my grandpa is a die hard. So i knew Boxers like Tyson, DLH, Tito, Sugar Shane and all that. I remember seeing a couple of fights of Hopkins before the fight when i was younger, and i thought to myself, this was going to be a great match. Hopkins made me a die hard Hopkins fan that night. He whooped Tito bad. My grandpa was tellin me "look how he hits him on the side the ref cant see, and how he grabs the back of the head and hits, thats from expeirence."
The only thing that annoyed me was George Foreman being on Titos nutt sack that night. Wasn't giving Hopkins no credit til he knocked him out.Comment

me2. Because Foreman was saying if Hopkins wants to be champion he has to knock him out, but he was forgetting Hopkins was a Champion for years himself. And He was saying Hopkins was tired and that Trinidad was dangerous to hopkins, and this and that.
i was getting irritated.
Or..."Felix Trinidad is such a courageous fighter."
Larry: Why don't you want to give Hopkins any credit, George? He's fighting a great fight!
George: He's fighting a brilliant fight but that pressure from Tito, it just takes everything out of your legs...
wtf?Comment
