    The 2 knockdowns?

    Anyone else shocked that B-Hop got dropped. Twice!? (One wasn't clear cut, but you cant really argue with the ref for calling it a knockdown)

    In my mind, B-hop was iron-chinned, and although he wasnt hurt i didnt expect pascal to be able to drop him. Something was different about BHop this fight. Cant quite put my finger on it, but he fought twelve rounds at a very high pace (for age 45) without getting tired, didn't hold much, was the agressor and got dropped for the first time in 16 years.

    Had Hopkins winning by 2 points btw

      I thought hopkins looked tight and anxious early. Never would of expected that but I think the crowd and the event left him a little shaky legged early. As the fight went on he seemed to gain confidence and settle in. He took better shots with ease later in the fight. Maybe I'm way off, but that's how I saw it.

        He's never been shaky-legged before in a big event before though

        I was worried he was showing his age. especially considering how hed looked against RJJ

          The punches were landed when he didnt really see them coming, as Tarver said he had relaxed a bit on the ropes and the swinging punch from Pascal landed that caught him unaware. I have big respect for Bhop pulling the fight back.
