i watched the fight, or most of it and hopkins was in survival mode from early on
i reckon hopkins could survive 12 rounds against just about anyone - in survival mode
had he been a bit more ambitious i reckon kolarev would have KOed him, another 10 seconds on the end of the fight and he probably would
it was an impressive performance if you ask me, hopkins wasnt ever in the fight at any point at all, you probably couldnt have even give hopkins a minute of any round
yeah and you cant really say kolarev beat a pomp hopkins, but looking at it for what it is, it was still a very impressive performanceQuote:

i reckon im an old school boxing fan, i like fighters who fight and try and land punches and knock people out
i like kolarev
and i am looking forward to his next fight, i hope its against someone who will give him a test
I have watched the fight twice, old Hopkins was in survival mode you can blame his one slip
up he was toast, trouble is how Hopkins fights he is nether brilliant to watch, the mauling and
fouling, his punch out put is poor, he fiddles his way to a win.
I have watched Hopkins many times, because I am a boxing fan but I can't say I enjoy watching
him fight, to put him to context if he was a actor he would be a B movie star, never would
be a A Lister, there is just something lacking Hagler ,Hearns, SLR, Duran , had it star quality it's
called.;)
