Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostMaybe. I really don't think so. Oscar hadn't been taking that bad a beating. Bernard was winning the rounds easy but he didn't really start pressuring until the second half of the fight. I don't think there was enough accumulation for a love tap to drop Oscar and leaving him crying on the mat. And he could be saying "That" in the corner but I just watched and I think he says "this my round." Could be wrong but it appears Manny Steward heard the same thing.
Steward paraphrases Hopkins, saying "Hopkins trying to figure out what the score is and he's asking "is it my round, my round" and his corner is just ignoring him. They should let him know that he may be ahead but it's very close." Seems like Steward was talking about his corner ignoring his request for feedback on how he did that round.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostYep. He seems to think Hopkins is referring to the prior round. I don't know, I think if he was, he wouldn't have phrased it that way. Its/this my round? Maybe "that" but not one of those two words. Anyway, who knows. You might be right but I always felt this fight smelled funny.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostHopkins-DLH. Hopkins goes back to his stool and excitedly asks his corner, "This is the round?" twice. Then Richardson crooning "body shot" before the love tap puts Oscar down. Maybe I'm a fistic conspiracy theorist but that forever left a sour taste in my mouth.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostYou're not alone, many people feel that way. It was a good fight. I think DLH's jab genuinely gave Hopkins problems. But in the end, Hopkins was tagging DLH with hard rights that was marking up DLH. It's good this discussion came up, I literally haven't seen this fight in over a decade. It was actually a good 2 rounds there from what I saw. The quality is so bad though, I can't see it from round 1.

Originally posted by fighter1234 View PostDude, he was saying "It's my round, it's my round" because he felt like he was going to dominate the next round (which he did). And his corner did yell out "body shot" and Bernerd threw it, so what? If anything, that's a testament to Bernard's awareness in the ring, kind of like when Floyd chatted to Lampley about football during one of his fights.
