old grey beard ball headed popkins gonna wish to god he never took this fight

I dunno...I dunno ...Hopkins is the snake charmer of boxing. He fights these dangerous opponents? And you think it's a risk? He turns these opponents to timid and cautious.

I can see Hopkins and Smith...just...looking at each other for 12 rounds, with an actual thrown punch every now and then.

It must be that, the opponent discovers that with Hopkins, he can get through these 12 rounds without getting punched in the face that much, so he buys into the snoozer .

HBO knows they have a stinker, DLH knows he has a stinker. They're doing it just as a retirement gift to Hopkins. They'll put an actual fight on the undercard, and hope that it motivates viewers to stay awake during Hopkins' bout.

The fighter ultimately is the most important. If he is looking for something that he thinks he can get from another trainer then he has every right to move on.

It just seems strange that he didn't let Naazim know why. I thought they had a closer relationship than that.

Interesting stuff. I don't know what the back story to this is at all.

When did this happen and why would BHop do this? That's some dirty ****, man. Unless, of course, there's something we dunno about.

If I was Oscar, I would be very careful with BHop in my company. I don't like the looks of this.
