What’s your favorite fight to rewatch.
My absolute favorite it hopkins-Tito
Total masterclass
Watch hopkins play coy, just jabbing and moving, not engaging just slowly setting up Tito..
Jab, jab, move, tie up, jab, jab, tie up, move, jab,,, that’s all Bernard did until the 10 sec warning in round 2. Then it was jab, jab, BOOM with the right hand.. masterclass on how you set traps and how to setup the right hand.
Entire fight, hopkins has his right hand glued to his face, blocking Tito’s left hook..
Left hook from Tito, Hopkins counters with his own hook.
Hook for hook,,, until BOOM, 9th rd, hopkins unleashes the straight right, hadn’t used hardly at all the whole fight, Tito has no idea what has hit him, and Hopkins just brutalizes him with the straight right in the 9th.
By the 11th Tito loses composure and the fight turns dirty, Hopkins in his head, ref intervenes, ref is checking hopkins, hopkins just gives Tito the death stare, and then calmly walks out and delivers a brutal uppercut combination right before the bell.
12th, hopkins still has the right hand glued to his face, blocks Tito’s left hook, and counters with a brutal hook to end the fight.
Masterclass all the way thru, not even Floyd mayweather has a complete dissection of an A+ fighter like hopkins did that night.
A true master, showing all his tricks in one fight.
My favorite fight to rewatch, just to see the genius of hopkins
