Comments Thread For: Hopkins: I Was Telling Murat’s Corner To Stop the Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It was a bizarre yet highly entertaining moment — Bernard Hopkins had opened a cut over Karo Murat’s eye in the eighth round of their fight, and suddenly Hopkins turned his back and moved into Murat’s corner, speaking to members of his team while his opponent pursued him and then attacked him with shots.

“I was talking to his corner. I was trying to negotiate with them to stop the fight,” Hopkins said at the post-fight press conference. “This guy was coming, bleeding, and taking a lot of punishment. … I looked at the corner, I said, ‘This guy’s all cut up, I’m going to keep beating him, and it’s going to get ugly.’ That’s what I did. They didn’t listen, though.” [Click Here To Read More]

You should have told them to not sign the contract instead.

LOL. Hopkins was crazy for that.

Another memorable performance from a legendary fighter.

that was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in a fight. It was definitely a fun fight to watch.

That was my favorite moment in the fight, even more than the entrance.

This reminds of when Floyd was talking to the commentators during a fight when he was fighting a bum aswell.

Or when Roy Jones knocked out that bum with his hands behind his back.

Not entirely sure why people get impressed by this stuff when it's obvious they'd never do it if a bum wasn't in the ring with them.

He was trying to one up Roy Jones when Roy told the ref to stop the fight some years ago.

I think Floyd was telling them which football team was going to win.

There was a time when Roy was yelling at the ref telling him to stop it. The ref told him to continue so he shrugged his shoulders and got the KO.
