Damn all these promos I see almost make me buy into it and go to the theatre to see it, but just have a feeling the fight will not be as exciting as the promos.

Immediately knocked him out? It was a drawn out war stopped in the latter rounds with Mercado still fighting back.

Immediate as in they fought just a few months later. Sorry for not being clear.

Not as in knocked him out immediately in the fight roy jones-griffin II style.

Ahh

Mercado was a tough, tough muthaphucka.

that he was. Which is why I hate when boxrec junkies & 90's babies criticize hopkins for being knockdown by the guy.

I thought Hopkins basically kicked Mercado's ass in the rematch. Couldn't miss with that right hand.

If Mike Tyson was a regular commentator he'd have a ton of unintentionally funny quotes, a la Foreman.

Except Hopkins got back up and fought til the end and Jones has been knocked out cold 3 times now.

hopkins is garbage...this cat ain't got nothing else better to do than to fight an already starched in the first round roy jones?

this cat's been beating up on smaller fighters and has beens (and never will be's) and getting massive credit from nutthuggers like NASA000, and people eat it up....i bet you if you put him in there with a top lightheavy, he doesn't throw a punch all night for fear of getting hit back...

What I like about these excuses/complaints is that he did all of that in his mid 30's to mid 40's and all his opponents save a few here and there were in their 20's. That squashes any bull**** excuse you made in your post.

I thought Hops beat Mercado by 2 points but it could easily have been scored a draw.
