I'm proud of Hopkins!

[BrotherDudeJack]

Who says "you mad" anymore? Like, haha seriously. I'm not mad about anything, Dawson won, cool, not a proble. What I do have a problem with though is so-called "hardcore" boxing fans on this site are ludicrously ignorant to this sport, that it's astonishing. "Ohhh noooozz i woontz ta see a KO otha wise thurr bumzzz LOL you madddzzzz lawl". People lack the IQ to conceive that boxing actually has many styles involved in it, and that not all good fighters are pressure fighters or brawlers. "noooz i woooontzz taa see a brawlzz othawisssedd dey suck theyyy notz guuud fighters"

Is cheating a style? serious question.

Is cheating a style? serious question.

why you gotta hate man? Hopkins clinched to slow down the pace of the fight, he pulled out all the tricks out the bag to see what he can come up with and in the end, he lost. Not because of lack of effort he did everything his body would allow him to do.

Let me ask you this - if you're in a fight and your fighting a guy who is younger, faster, stronger and has the ability to knock you out, would you hold him when you could? would you try to slow him down? or would you just stand there like an idiot and get ko'd?

That's what I thought.

It's easy for you guys to sit on your couch and say "oh hopkins is a b!tch he holds he does this he does that" we'll, it's not you in the ring now is it?

Cmon holding fighters to a level where they win a couple rounds and you're proud of it?

You cannot say absolutely anything good about hopkins in this fight

A young champion should have been able to go through him at age 47 , Hop is crafty and very hard to hit clean , I think he should retire he has had a fantastic career its time to hang them up , as messy as it was I was disappointing in Chad for not imposing his will , that is testament to Bhops ring smarts , you cant knock a fighter at 47 going the distance with the best in the world , put it all into perspective and give the old guy some credit .

If you can't fight with honor anymore then retire. I don't ever want to watch that type of cheating again.

actually the cut over his right eye was caused by a punch, hbo showed the replay.

That jab was after the cut had already happened.

man STFU with that stuff. this isn't braveheart, this isn't a damn movie. This is a man in a fight, trying to win.

[Russian Crushin]

man you're acting like a serious dumb fuck right now. the mere fact he went 12 rounds, won some rounds at age 47 against Dawson is something to be proud of. If you want to hate go a head and hate don't see why you gotta do it in a thread where I'm giving him props.



the first half of the fight he controlled the pace, landed sharp right hands, his footwork was solid, his reflexes were there and more the most part did everything he was supposed to. In the middle to late rounds chad started taking over and hopkins was slowing down and chad won the fight.

What do you want people to say? Hopkins just fought one of the dirtiest fights in years, won a couple rounds, then complained he got robbed and you want people to give him "props' for completing all 12 rounds like its some sort of historic achievement?

I saw the replay man in slow motion, his eye wasn't cut before the punch landed.

The guy is butting you, jumping on top of you and clinching every 1/2 sec. Chad probably suffered a concussion and it certainly wasnt from any of those good 3 punches hopkins landed all night
