Something Just Surprised Me about Hopkins-Tarver

[eazy_mas]

Hopkins is ****ing 41 years old you ****ing ******ed piece of ****.

Then he should no better than to fight Tarver.

If he is even 50 year old and if you KOed him to get money then let it be it.

If Hopkins accepted the rules then he should play with it.

I don't think Hopkins can fight aggressively like he used to....& that's where his age shows the most.
When he was younger, he could move forward firing shots, while being able to slip/evade his foe's shots. He doesn't have the reflexes to do that anymore, nor the confidence. That's why you see the older guys firing one shot, & then falling into their foe. They can't make the defensive moves they used to. They know if they overcommit, they won't have what it takes to avoid a counter.


Unfortunately, Hopkins' best approach is to OUT-stinkout the joint on Tarver.

Hopkins hasn't knocked a legitimate middleweight out in a very long time. He won't be KOing a very good lt. heavyweight.
