    It's not nice to see a legend go out like that but you still have to see the funny side of it.

    Besides, if there's 2 ways to have your last fight, it's either win, or get helped along your way to retirement and actually get knocked out of the ring! Still, for a 52 year old to be competitive in there for 7 rounds should be respected.

    Still though, i laugh every time i see it.

        Could have faced a competitive guy without power and been awarded a decision.

        Though getting hurt by that small shot, granted to the temple,(round 2?) suggested he should not have been in the ring.

        Bhop is a smart guy and obviously very healthy, I believe that disguised the concussion u could see symptoms of in the post fight interview.(jumbled speech and tangent sentences) Very lucky it wasn't an ugly scene and much worse.

          Yeah I was abit nervous when his head hit the ground. IN the replay it looked like Bernard was KO'd before he hit the ground. Solid punches from Smith who in my opinion was hurting Bernard badly throughout the fight.

            The funniest thing I've seen all year, and that's saying something given the endless lulz Trump has provided.

                Yeah he's not bad. Won't have any success against top guys but throws powerful and accurate shots. A lot of nice body shots too. He can beat some b level fighters and has a punches chance with anyone. That's proven.
