What the hell is Sopcast?
it as never a 117-111 fight, Hopkins was the crafty old fox of old and he did box better, landed the cleaner shots and threw punches at just the right times. Man how the hell does a 42 year old still manage to win fights against top level opposition hopkins defies all logic wonder how many more years hes got in him?
I was pretty drunk when I did it too, so Saddoboxing keeps its tradition of drunken RBRs. :)
I ate some "special" cake earlier too. So I have to go now, as I'm really, really hungry.
The score cards were shitty. Again, no surprise really.
I don't have an issue with the decision, but I do have issues with the 117-111 score cards.
Also JT, Winky and B-Hop can all 3 fuck off with their shitty styles, it's good that they all feel they all won all their meetings they had amongst themselves.
Thank god for my bwoy! Kats and also for Linares cause it wasn't for them what a shitty card this would have wound up.
Random thoughts:
1. The Katsidis fight was FANTASTIC!! FOY candidate for sure.
2. The Linares-Larios fight was excellent also.
3. At least those two were worth the PPV price. The main event was shitty.
4. At least Winky tried to make a fight out of it. I'm getting tired of pretending that Hopkins fights are any good. They're shitty. Every single stinking one of them. The holding, the clinching, the headbutting...... When is a ref with some balls going to tell Hopkins to knock that shit out?!?!? It sucks. Hopkins, please retire already.

Well fantastic news that Hopkins won for me as it saves what would have been a sorry ass performance in this weeks prediction contest.
As for the fight itself I didn't get to see it yet as Sopcast went down, and not only that but I got locked out of Saddo's due to all those kunting unregistered fucktards who come in here and steal our site when the fights start >:mad
Surely the mods must have the power to limit the intake of unregistered users browsing the site during fight times?
I'have a max limit of 300 users allowed on the site and all must be registered that way it would be nice and smooth for us.
Whose with me!!!
Damn straight!! I'm tired of getting locked out. What gives?
that 117 to 111 was bullshit and i wanted to hopkins to win.
i still trying to see all the so called clean punches that winky was landing. letterman was acting like winky shots were way better than hopkins
The fight was close and I could have seen it going either way.
But im suprised by a UD, and some of those score cards were just ridiculous
What was Lederman's card... a draw?
I can't believe i went with wright :-[. Oh well atleast this got some significant coverage on espn. They gave updates during sportscenter and actually interupted a baseball show to go to Brian Kenney with an update for the fight. ;)
I agree completely about the guests. Ive only just managed to get posting now because of the site being too busy. It is somewhat frustrating, but you get used to it after a while.Quote:

Thankfully the Korean channels have randomly brought back HBO boxing after a few months of nothing. No reasons were given either. Streams are unreliable and the quality is low. So I was glad to be free from that today.
The Katsidis fight was an eye opener (or an eye closer if you are Katsidis). He managed to come back from those horrific injuries and manage to land the harder shots when needed and in turn score the knockdowns. He should take 6 months off to heal and regroup. He cannot go into every fight looking as ragged and hittable as he was. It was entertaining, but he needs to work on those skills. I like him though and im glad he won.
The Larios fight was surprising. Linares is for real. Its the first ive really seen of him and I was impressed. Picks his punches very well. Really gets off to the body well.
In a strange way I did actually enjoy the Hopkins: Winky fight. Yes, there was too much holding. To be fair it wasnt always Hopkins though. Yes, Hopkins fought dirty. But since when hasnt he fought like that?
Hopkins was active enough and actually got off some decent combinations when in close. His short right hand was particularly potent. He fought a very crafty fight. Winky threw more but he seemed inneffective and im sure fighting at 170 pounds played a part too. Winky seemed flustered and out of his gameplan early. Winky spent too much time complaining, instead of responding in turn. If the ref isnt gonna help then its up to you to make something happen.
I think Hopkins should have been docked a point for excessive holding. Even if this was implemented I still think it was a good win for Bhop. I had Hopkins winning by 2. Many of the rounds were close affairs and would be scored depending on how you see the fight.
Winky should get back down to 160 or lower. He doesnt belong above middleweight.
hopkins did a fine job and deserved that
but seriously
kizer CLEARLY had it out for hopkins when he appointed not only moretti, but FUCKING GLEN HAMADA HIMSELF
its christmas time
no its not
:(
FUCK CHRISTMAS
