The further Mad Skillz of Borehard Slopkins...

Some rules from the maestro's handbook here:


1. Always try your best to pin one of your opponent's arms and climb onto his back. Remember: never be afraid to look like a raving faggot who's after a reach around. The sport of boxing was built on these foundations.

2. Never finish a fight without falling onto the canvas at least once, like an Andre Dirrell tribute act. Preferably while crying like a baby who's just shit his diaper. From the streets, dawg.

3. Your head is just an extension of your fists. It is not illegal to headbutt your opponent, as long as it's not excessive. Using the head less than 16 times a round is perfectly acceptable.

4. Always outthink your opponent. It's your mission to execute a gameplan to stay one step ahead of them at all times... even if their trainer and lead strategist is a man who uses his website to sell Weekend At Bernie's II on Betamax.

5. Control your output. This is the most important step. Feel like you want to throw more than three punches a round? Don't be foolhardy in the sport.

lol true story hopkins stans wont like it though

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Seriously, I didnt find this fight bored at all. It was great seeing a 47 y/o popping his straight right to an 29 y/o. I had it even.

Again I'll ask the question. Is it Hopkins age that allows his fans to excuse what they are watching? If I see another post with "considering his age" I'm going to crack. If he's willing to cash the purse then age is no excuse.

Agreed, FS.

Though of course, his age might be more excusable if he did something other than clinch and headbutt.

I enjoy watching some headbutts in fights also, even more if it comes from Hopkins, Ward or Bradley

Old school, baby! Last of a dying breed!

Warrior! These soft ass new school fools don't got nothing, Andre Dirrell can't even make it look realistic when he collapses on the canvas. And Floyd? The way he reacted to Judah's low blow by shrugging it off was ridiculous, he ain't old school at all.

Have you ever considered killing yourself?

I'm still waiting on an answer or indeed a Hopkins love in thread that does not mention his age.....
