As the fight entered the fateful ninth, Hopkins was ahead on two of the judges' scorecards (79-73 and 78-74), with the third judge having Oscar ahead (77-75).

Was he ahead on Ledermans scorecard?

I can't remember bit I think I remember HBO thinking that Hopkins might have been behind because he gave away the early rounds.

was the fight actually contracted at 156, i have the de la hoya career set on dvd and im sure when i watched that fight they said that hopkins just came in light to prove a point, that he didnt have to just use his size to win and he could outbox oscar

Against Oscar de la Hoya. I have been arguing with this complete and utter idiot who told me that Bernard rehydrated 12 pounds on the night of the Oscar fight and weighed in at 168 or 169. The fight was contracted at 156. I know that Hopkins never rehydrates more than a couple of pounds....can anybody help me prove it?

He's right. Hopkins rehydrated to 169 while Dela Hoya refused to weigh-in on HBO's unofficial fight-time scale.

He went from 175 to 182 against Tarver and 170 to 180 against Wright. Hopkins has always been good at cutting weight.
