    Vote! Hopkins win - how did you see it?

    Okay, there's a battle raging on this forum about whether Hopkins was right to notch up his 20th defence by runnin... er, "boxing", and those who wanted a boxing match where he was more involved.

    But let's count numbers here, to give us an indication of the silent majority. How did you rate Hopkins's performance last night?

      An average of 16 (pot shot) punches per round? Is that good?

          It's better to hit one time and not get hit, then hit 10 times and get hit 9... Basic boxing logistic

            Yeah, but there's a difference between hitting and not getting hit and "not getting hit and... not bothering to hit either."

            I reckon if Nard could have taken a motorbike in there with him he would have done.

              In one RD, 3 punchs landed, by both fighters, 5 RDS down, it was horrible, than Hopkins woke up took more of a risk, still was boring as hell, but an easy win, easy oppennt, **** load of cerdit for Hopkins .
              I picked - It was okay, but I would have preferred him to get more involved

                It still bugs me the way people talk about what a great contender DLH was when he was treated with kid gloves and then given a smack down. But Hop meets someone who was bigger and stronger who can effortlessly take it for 12 rounds and he's a bum... huh?

                I wish Howard had pressed harder though, for Nuff Tump.

                    Let's agree on this... Mr. Nuff Tump has a chin, though, eh?
