ODLH vs Bhop catchweight

[john l]

huh???????????

He got it mixed up. The question was not who asked for it, but if there was one. That's why I was a little upset because he made this thread that sounded like I was saying B-hop asked for catchweight. Of course it was ODLH. I don't remember a catchweight and I knew the big story was B-hop coming in lighter then anyone expected at 156( catch was 158). Not sure if it was even reported at time, as the storys I seen and the ones posted were from last couple years. That said it don't change I was wrong as info has been out there AT LEAST a couple years.BTW The post I sent to you I put down wrong name, but I edited it in about 2 min.

Something tells me your being honest. These guys are trying to make it seem like ODLH was some huge diva which he was not. He happened to be in the ultimate position to treat his oponents like nobody’s but I think he was always fare and took many risks

Honest-yes, right-no. Looks like there was a catchweight of 158. Not sure it was reported at time because I remember that fight clearly even B-hop weight(156). I knew the big story the day before was B-hop coming in lighter then he had to, which he did(156). Maybe that's what threw me off or it was not reported at time. Either way still wrong because the storys I seen and the ones posted were from last few years, so the info was out there AT LEAST that long. Honesty though I have never heard anyone bring that catchweight up like they do for May's one or even Pac couple.

I know what you’re referencing though. I watched that fight again a few months ago and I remember one of the announcers mentioning that Hopkins came in a couple pounds lighter than he had to as a mind game or some **** like that.

Yea it was a big story at weigh in. B-hop came in at 156(maybe change). Not sure if that's what got me(at least part) or if it was reported at time. Never heard anyone bring that up like they do other catchweights and I remember the fight clearly. Either way my argument was NO CATCHWEIGHT and there clearly was one(158). One point though the other guy got it mixed up and thought I was saying B-hop asked for it, and that was not the case. Of course if there was one ODLH asked for it. Even in storys it don't say who asked for it, but once I seen story's(all from last few years) I said I was wrong because there is no way in hell the bigger guy asked for it.

Has the catchweight been confirmed by the fighters? HBO didn't know about it. They said the fight was at the 160lb limit on the broadcast and didn't know why Hopkins weighed so low.

I seen storys but there were all from last few years. I don't think it was reported and no one seemed to remember it they just assumed. Would make me feel a LITTLE better if not reported, but the info has been out there AT LEAST a couple years.
