Comments Thread For: Richardson: Flagrant Fouls Against Hopkins Must Stop

[ИATAS]

Oh, I don't know.

Perhaps when the ref told them to stop fighting and Hopkins casually walked up to him and punched him?

Or did you miss that?

Are you talking about that tiny little love tap on Mu**** side? Lol you're reaching big time now

[-PBP-]

Hopkins gets rough and fights in the clinch. But when Smoger breaks them up, it was Murat not listening and still throwing. It was Murat that hit below the belt, after instruction and while Hopkins was on the ground in a defenseless position. Then he tried to head butt Hopkins intentionally in Round 12.

Murat is a dirty fighter and probably could have been DQd. But luckily we had Smoger to put him in his place and not put up with his ****. He let them fight and it made for a fun night of boxing.

Oh so now Hopkins punched murat in the back? Lmao! Murat turned his back, which you're not supposed to do, hopkins got to his side and hit his face at an angle and unloaded on his face. Totally legal you dumb ****. Jesus, all you do is complain, most negative poster on nsb.

And actually Smoger did have words with Hopkins, rewatch it. On at least two occasions Smoger said to Hopkins you can't be doing that, bernard.

Totally legal?

The ref said "BREAK" because Murat's back was turned unintentionally, Hopkins proceeded to walk toward him and punch him in his kindey/back area.

That is actually illegal, the epitome of illegal and he did it right infront of the ref which other than Murat punching Hopkins while he was down was the most blatant foul of the entire night.

Smoger was terrible looked paid off for Hopkins

Steve Smoger was a jerk towards Murat the whole fight. See Smoger hugging the hell out of Bernard after the fight? Ever see a ref hug the winning fighter. Smoger looked bought and paid for for Hopkins and Golden Boy. Watch Smoger get all the GBP big fights from here on out. Something smelled and it was the ref Smoger.

Yes the tiny little "love tap", which was seconds after the ref broke them up, yes just that little "love tap" which was actually punch in which Murat wanted a break for (Which he was entitled to) but of course during Smoger's amazing performance didn't give it to him.

Totally legal.

I don't understand where it's getting lost.

Obviously Murat was alot worse than Hopkins and could easily have been DQ'd.

The problem is Hopkins did his share of illegal stuff, whether it was in retaliation or not (Still illegal) and wasn't warned once (Although apparently now he was warned in between Smoger's nice convo's with Bern in the corner)

It's a clear and obvious bias in his refereeing for this fight.

Smoger's one of the best ref's in the game but he had a bad night, it happens.

People denying it is outright hilarious though.

Haha you cannot actually be serious! Hopkins barely touched Murat ad Murat tried to play it off like something happened

Yes and Murat landed solid shots on Hopkins on these breaks?

The ref said break, Hopkins proceeded to punch him when his back was turned. Of course you're acting like he tapped him which he didn't. He didn't throw a haymaker but he punched him.


Apparently that's just fine, though. Definitely not illegal or something he should have at the very least have been talked to about by the ref, no.

And regardless if it hurt him really or not is irrelevant, he hit him illegally he's entitled to a break if he wants one.

Hopkins has been hit in the body and has been giving extended breaks on numerous occasions.

Because near tackling your opponent and rushing behind his back to rabbit punch him isn't fouling.

Murat turned around, also had previously dirtied Hopkins blatantly. Hopkins hit him in the ribs.

Rabbit punches are much closer to your spine(or on the spine), or the back of your head.

I can recall this happening I think two times, one of them I can recall Murat getting hit clean to turning around with his guard up and Hopkins didn't like that he decided to about face.
