Bernard Hopkins' Perfect Execution: Block and counter

[Macklemore]

He will be missed, I don't think we'll see another another B-Hop in our lifetime.

In the still frame of the video before you play it Bernard literally looks like an alien

[ShoulderRoll]

Those almost look like karate blocks.

The only fighters I see doing this are B Hop, Floyd and Danny Garcia (Judah and Matthyse fights).

What are you talking about. B-hop is going to fight for 10 more years.

Hopkins is one heck of a technician, his dismantling of Tito was beautiful to watch.

I prefer Winky's.

Probably the smartest active boxer. Hes nowhere near the physical advantages of his opponents but still can win it. Floyd is usually the faster guy, the longer reach. Bhop doesnt worry about it, not to even mention his age.

You're probably right. I'd expect Bernard to study other disciplines with him being a student of the game and all. He practices boxing as a martial art, taking away what the opponents trying to do, using their momentum against them etc.

His comment at 5:28 suggests he's brought it in from outside the discipline. He wouldn't have to state that it was legal if he hadn't.
