Or Oscar is gonna do what, if he reneges on his promise, fight him? We already saw how that worked out the first time

I was thinking more along the lines of no more coke and blow jobs during those Wednesday staff meetings. You've got to be at least semi coherent to enjoy it, otherwise Oscar will replace him with Mario Lopez, BBC or not.

just found out that this guy got knocked out by eddie thunder caminero. caminero is a journeyman with a losing record and near double digit losses.

Smith is a very amateurish and crude type fighter strong saw him with his 1 lucky , but did an1 expected Hopkins to fight any1 credibile???
the guy's got a very weak , padded record...

The guy that knocked out Andrej Fanfara...I don't know if I want to see this...Hopkins has used an extremely safety conscious style in the later stages of his career. He can make a real stinker out of this.

please for boxings sake make this your last fight bernard. I speak for everyone when i say i dont want to see your sorry arse in the ring any more, bored people for 20 odd years now, what have we all done to deserve this, thought we'd seen the last of you when you turned 40...

It takes a special kind of boxer to make a Kovalev fight boring ...Hopkins, Chilemba...zzzzzzzzzzzzz...if you're that worried about getting hit, why get in the ring?

Smith isn't a pushover, but I can see Hopkins luring him into one of his low output, sleep inducing fights.

Why the **** would the fans want to watch a 52 year old legend far past his prime fight a rough 21 year old prospect who just massacared Fonfara
