    Do you think Hopkins was happy with his "revenge"

    Because I thought the whole sorry episode was a disgrace!

    Hopkins rolling around on the floor, putting on an act, while a bemused looking Jones thought to himself "I just stole me another payday"

    Pitiful!

    Still haven't watch it Earl, not sure I want to.

    But I did hear that he said it was "Sweet revenge".

    So I'm guessing he's happy about it.

        I've heard nothing but bad things about it.

        I know this is off topic, but what did you think about George Groves this past weekend?

          I think he's happy. He doesn't like Roy Jones Jr., and no matter how bad it looked or how little this fight matters when looking at their careers, Hopkins can say, "Roy, right now, I'm a better fighter than you." That's gotta mean something to both of them.

            I agree with Earl. The whole thing was quite sad. If I was Bhop I would have reired after beating Pavlik and if I was Jones I would have retired after gettting schooled by Calzaghe.

              I was impressed, Adamu is a tough customer, i think he went 113-115 with froch a couple of years ago, and groves is green as hell.

              The stoppage was a bit premature, but Adamu was outclassed, good win for groves, he can go far i think.

                Yeah, I thought the stoppage was a bit premature.

                He reminds me of Haye, in the way he holds his hands and these little habits he has.

                I think he needs to tighten he defense. He looks to be open for right hands, and he needs to fix that.

                He's a good offensive fighter, but there were times I thought he could've picked his punches better. I thought he should've jabbed to the body more or threw a straight right to the body.

                Still, it was a good win. He's only nine fights deep, so he has time to tweak things.

                  Totally agree! Jones maybe won 2 rounds and possibly 4 if you take away the supposed fouls he did (bhop got no penalty at all, why??)

                  But it wasn't as if Bhop dominated a completely shot Jones.. he was landing maybe 3-5 punches more a round and given Jones terrible output that's not saying much
