Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
I mean, one would have to be pretty naive to think otherwise.. lol
So how many of you got fooled by that poor acting job?
Re: Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
He play up the dramatics a little. But it's pretty clear it was a legit body shot
Re: Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
I think he got hit and didn't wanna get back up.... not that it was a dive... but he just didn't wanna continue the fight!
Re: Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
Bob Arum would have called Morales out for taking a dive against Pacquiao if Eric had left Top rank prior. I think maybe DLH just embellished it with the pounding of the canvas, perhaps he even could have gotten up, but either way it's no dive. Hopkins pretty clearly landed a nasty liver shot.

There were a lot of times where fighters just didn't wanna continue.... this was one of them.... another, more notable time, was when Tyson fought Lewis. It was clear that Tyson could have continued- but what purpose would it have served. So, he stood down for the count.... smart man.
Re: Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
That was a body shot and it hurt Oscar. Even Hopkins wanted him to get up for a reamtch but he was hurt.
Re: Eric Morales and Bob Arum thinks Oscar took a dive against Hopkins
I have mentioned it on here a couple times I felt it was a bullshit knockout. Add Mayweather and the late Manny Steward to the list as well. The whole Hopkins saying this is my round and the person at ring side yelling body shot almost the entire round before he (Hopkins) threw it and the fact that it was with the bottom of the glove toward the palm didn't seem like it had a lot of impact like say a Gatti vs Dorin where it moved his entire rib cage. And less then 2 weeks later they become business partners, all seems pretty suspicious to me but what do I know.

The top fighters have egos the size of the Grand Canyon, there is no way in hell Oscar would have faked a KD or thrown a fight. The liver shot was real, the pounding on the canvas was frustration, he would have gotten up if he could and the guy setting at ring side yelling body shot was a real boxing fan. It was fast and surprising but legit.

The only guy with the real proven ego is mayweather, maybe manny
For the rest of so called vets it is a pure business

I don't buy it. #1. Hopkins was the favourite in the fight. If it was that DLH took a dive, it was for money and to cover a bet/spread- which meant that DLH had to be the heavy fav to win. And he wasn't the fav in the fight.
Secondly, a few years later DLH got DESTROYED by Manny Pacqioua (destroyed to a point where he took a severe beating and actually was forced to quit on his stool, at the urgency of Nacho Beristain) and robbed Felix Sturm. DLH was well past it....

So that means he's quit both on his stool (Pac), AND by pounding the canvas in dramatic "agony".
Interesting...

No way Oscar quit :mad: winning the championship from Hopkins at middleweight would have been a huge accomplishment :D Love Morales but he is a drug cheat and should worry about that before questioning another fighter :p

Well, here's a short 57 sec clip of Hopkins' KO bodyshot of Oscar, 'cause folks really ought to take a refresher look before jumping to conclusions...
