    Hopkins fought clean by his standards. He had one really bad dirty moment compared to like 5 by Murat.

      what yall thoughts, another day on the job for bhops huh?
      As I mentioned earlier, that entire night was set up so that the "house" fighters got the win, this isn't the first time and unless here is an overall boxing governing body, it won't be the last time.

      the referee, a normally competent Steve Smoger kept pushing Murat back and was overly friendly (evidenced by the hug in the post fight announcement) with Hopkins. I respect Hopkins for what he has done but in this fight it was obvious that everything was stacked against the game Murat. Smoger even ended the fight by shoving Murat in his face, which is not only highly disrespectful but also unprofessional.

      All credit to Murat's camp for not pursuing the case any further and for not hitting back at the referee, something I have actually seen before in similar cases.

      It really was a disgraceful show put on by Golden Boy and Showtime.

        All the anti Smoger or anti Bhop outcry in the world will not change the fact that Murat was outclassed by a 65 year old alien reptoid from the Alpha Zentradi star system

                Both were dirty, one got warned, pushed in the face and yelled at all night.

                The other got no warnings and a little bit of "you good Bern? Every ok here? You're doing great Bern!"

                I mean, I doesn't take a genius, does it?

                  Yeah, it's obvious Smoger was scared of being abducted.

                    Hopkins didn't do anything he hasn't done before
                    no outcry because nobody was surprised
                    Hopkins has a reputation for taking it into the trenches
                    and not like Murat kept it clean himself

                      it's part of the sport. If the ref doesnt say anything why stop? It's not like doing PED's or loading your gloves like Plasterito. Both guys can do it if they can get away with it.
