Did Oscar Fake the Hopkins Liver Shot?

[PunchDrunk]

Legit, no question. All the REAL fighters know how crippling a livershot is.

The keyboard warriors just have no idea what they're talking about. Watching 10000 fights won't make you an expert. Hands on experience will.

It was easy an legit. I'll put it short and sweet, whoever thinks oscar fake it to get hopkins to be apart of goldenboy promotion is an idiot. Oscar has too much pride in him to do something like that. That soft shot that hopkins land on oscar was right in the button. I have seen fighters go down with a soft punch to the body. look what mayweather did to mitchell? mayweather hit mitchell with a soft punch to the body and mitchell face was like " ohh damn he caught me right on the button".

Not only Oscar's pride but 'Nard's is at stake in this question. Would Hopkins agree to fight Oscar only under the condition that Oscar take a dive? As if he did not expect to murder the littler man . . .

Why the **** would Oscar want Hopkins so badly in GBP that he would take a dive with millions watching?
He could have feigned an injury and quit on his stool if he wanted.

Its a ridiculous bull**** conspiracy theory.

Like i said, whoever believes oscar take a dive for hopkins to be a apart of gbp is an idiot. Pure and simple.

Boxing at the highest levels is 90% mental, 10% physical. Oscar de la Hoya went into that fight expecting to lose. You could see him looking very nervous before the fight but very relaxed afterward. When he took the lefthook, which he didn't see coming, I believe that his imagination took over and exagerated the pain. When you believe something is going to happen, unconsciously you will tend to make it happen.

There is no reason to conclude that Oscar de la Hoya consciously threw the fight.

Agreed, especailly since it was already well into B-Hop career at that point, I doubt he knew Hopkins was gonna be fighting into his 40's

I'd have to think the fans & keyboard warriors have some idea, considering the poll.

that wasnt a liver shot. ur liver is protected by ur ribs on all sides except for ur front. that punch landed on the side of oscar's rib cage, almost to his kindeys. and i've seen a lot of fighters get KOd from body shots, and NONE of them acted like they were in as much pain as oscar looked.

I thought the shot was alot closer to his back & below his rib, I'd call it a perfect kidney shot, I'm sure it did alot of damage regardless.

Edit; I've seen a few bodyshots stop a fighter, but none in the same spot as the one that dropped DLH tho
