Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins-Karo Murat: The Post-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For six rounds, it ******.

It was really just, well, terrible. Challenger Karo Murat might have won 3 of the first four rounds through sheer hustle, but none of what was going on was entertaining.

Then, in round seven, Bernard Hopkins dug in, Murat swung back, and suddenly there was a fight going on. It lasted most of the rest of the way. Fists, fouls, and a referee having a bad night made for an odd piece of theatre and another day in the office for an old man who isn’t getting any younger but isn’t ready to go away yet either.

i though smoger let Murat get away with a lot.

Murat threw 2 punches to an already floored Hopkins on the mat, they were so delayed hopkins had time to put his hands up to defend them.

Abraham got disqualified for throwing one punch dirrel like that.


Murat also attempted 2 head butts at the end of the fight and was not deducted.

Ortiz got deducted for throwing ONE to floyd.


after the last bell or not he could have gotten penalized but wasnt.

Both Murat and Hopkins were very funny on the night, some action too. Good fight.

Smoger "let get away" almost everything in that fight -- Smoger was the most entertaining...
... and Dirrell never recovered from the "brain injury" he suffered in the AA fight...

[MDPopescu]

I don't think B-Hop would go to fight Stevenson in Canada. The Stevenson-Cloud sold only about 7,000 tickets at the Bell Centre... B-Hop would rather cross the Pond to the UK... But Hearn knows better...

exactly, AA was disqualified immediatley after one single blow, not weeks later when they found the detrimental damage

I don't mean he has to fight in Montreal. Just meant the champ is there

Investigate steve Smoger who was hugging Hopkins after the fight

It's obvious the Smoger is a GBP employee and favored Hopkins. That midget Smoger is a loser and should be investigated. Something stinks in boxing and Smoger has a stench on him. Investigate Smoger and follow the money?
