          Yeah, this fight was a thing of beauty. People who have the impression that Hopkins is lame to watch are just judging him for what he has done during the time frame of his career past 40 years old. This was the part of his career of where he was a defensive master, a come forward pressure fighter when necessary, and a go side-to-side fighter with masterful lateral movement rolled into one. He didn't get you out of there with one punch but boy that counter right hand did a job on Antwun. This victory is better than Calzaghe's victory over Charles Brewer who I beleive is the one who lost to Echols. Slappy nuthuggers take note.

                Echols hit Hopkins about as hard as I've ever seen Hopkins hit. It was a half hook/uppercut thing towards the end of the fight. Echols was a pretty good fighter back in the day.

                  I love that fight. At the end of the 90s Hopkins was a beast.

                    agreed, he had a lot of raw potential, which no one ever developed.
