Boy was I wrong....

[PRboxingfan]

I just watched the fight again and scored round 1 even, 2-5 for Eastman, 6-12 for Hopkins (Hopkins winning 116-113). I was so mad last night because the fight ABSOLUTELY ******! I can't believe how much Hopkins ran (not boxed, RAN). He reminded me of ODLH in the last 4 rounds against Tito.

Anyway, my hat is off to Nard for winning the fight (win today and look good the next time, right?). It would be hard for ANYONE to catch Nard if he fights like that again. He didn't fight like a 25 year old but he certainly ran like one.

Yes it was rather stale, But he did what he had to do I guess. Power wasnt an issue and really showed through last night, each fighter caught each other with tremendous on the button shots and neither did stumble....Very defensive and all about countering...I give it a C- and rate Hopkins performance around that as well...Neither fighter *****d through last night.

it's funny how you prance around this site like you're some kind of boxing expert...there are other people who including myself who box on this site as well. You don't hear us making idiotic boastful predictions like some know it all like you. You sat there and claimed...wait...you boasted that Hopkins would lose because of some ridiculous EA Sports curse...even betted 100 million points like a genius...oh wait but you box so that must mean your word is holier then thou.

Props to you Spinks for admitting you were wrong..most posters here dont like to do that..it's too manly for them to handle. So good for you! I like and admire that about a person (especially since you didnt have to, nobody would have made a federal case of it).it takes guts! And you are hardly the first person to make a wrong perdiction, and you wont be the last, I'm sure!

good

First off, I would like to say that I was not surprised but I wasnt impressed either.

Eastman fought how I thought he would, He took a punch at a time. Although I had the fight much closer since I believe Eastman did a hell of a lot more than Hopkins in the early round.

But I am not going to criticize Hopkins for the way he fought, and I think its absurd that a lot of people are as well. This style is how Hopkins got to number 20.

A usual Hopkins fight, is he takes the first round feels you out and then puts his footwork to use to let his opponent punch himself out and then in the 2nd half he executes. Their was nothing unusual about the way Bernard fought tonight.

I thought Eastman would have been a bit more busier in the fight, especially with his long reach but that was not the case. I also felt the announcers did a horrible job on their part last night, everytime Hopkins would land a jab you would hear "Ohh good god did you see that crisp jab that wobbled Eastman." Especially when I would see Eastman tap Hopkins and Hopkins never even touches Eastman, maybe my eyes deceive me but this is a continous thing for their HBO fighters....Roy usually corrects them but Roy was gloating all night (If you couldnt tell)

Anyways, I was a bit disappointed but not entirely. Hopkins fought his fight and their was nothing else to it.

Cong**** to you B-Hop on your 20 victims.

Great career and I actually enjoyed the fight last night, Very defense and counterpunching all night...Eastman needed to be busier and power wasnt a factor either.

Vintage Hopkins right their....Does this man age?

making errors is of human nature
but only real man accept they made them.

good man.

yeah Hop is the MAN

**** all them haters

I like to provide general insight to people that will help them and if you are referring to the training forum, I am always accepting and never trashed anyone for their information...I dont run or control that forum, Anyone including myself is a-ok to make a thread whatever they need.

Boastful predictions? You know how many people are just throwing out crazy predictions on the pac-morales fight, but whatever beef you got with me...I expect you to bury it, if you dont like me their is an ignore button to filter out my threads. I suggest you do so. Also I am a pretty calm guy and blow with the wind, so whatever rants you want to throw at me and try to aggravate me, be my guest....

Doesn't americans have any kind of decency?

[miron_lang]

I didnt see the fight I cant comment BUT i won 20M @ the bookie

[THRILLAinmanila]

100 million, but I didnt need that amount anyhow....Points to me are obsolete, I have evertyhing of valuable already from the store and still got cash to burn.....Perhaps another 100 million point bet will be on the horizon coming up in march/may

Care to bet that 100M on Morales ?
