Pretty cringeworthy hearing Bernard keep saying he was pushed even after seeing the replay. Especially in the post fight lockerroom interview with Kellerman when Max told him the camera showed it wasn't a push but Hop still denied it. Max was back there to give him credit on a legendary career coming to a close and instead we got some long rant by Hopkins about a phantom push that made him come off as a sore loser.

I am trying to think back if Hopkins didn't ever have an excuse for losing. He had a reason the first Taylor fight, obviously the first Pascal fight, even Calzaghe fight and first Dawson fight he had a case thst MAYBE he really did mess his shoulder up, but this was a case of the guy was too old, out gunned, out of the ring for over 2 years.. there's just not an excuse this time ...he got hit by a shot that looked like it put him out before he started to fall out of the ring. His greatness isn't in question, but he's been a poor sport for as long as I've been watching him, and the whole "never let a white boy beat me" really left me disliking him, though he was still a sentimental favorite.Comment

People have to remember, he was hit with a good shot on the ear, before he fell out of the ring. He fell out of the ring and landed on his head. A bigger shot than anything that Smith hit him with. I give him a pass for not recalling it correctly. Add his pride to that, and you already know. He'll acknowledge when he sees the replays.Comment
