How Good Did Bernard Hopkins Look Last Night ?

Good aint really the word...

It was close after the first 6 or so rounds but then Hopkins took it down the stretch from what I hear. And still entertained a Roy Jones fight after

Still looks like BHOP. He really tried to let his hands go at times, still the same inside rough housing tactics. Ornelas was a live dog and there was some good action.
The following was not a shocker Raul Caiz Jr 120-109 lol
The only thing that bothers me about watching BHOP fight is the same thing that bothers me while watching Favre QB. We hear the fact about how old they are every two minutes.
BHOP want's Haye? I think it's a little too late to go Heavy at this point and time. But what do I know about BHOP? He still continues to impress at 44 ooooppps there goes the age thing again

I thought Bernard looked like his usual self, good performance overall imo.

Bernard started slow which made the fight competitive early, To me it looked like Bernard was trying to get a few rounds in to shake the rust off.

After round 4 Hopkins upped the workrate and took over.

This wasn't a boring fight either, Hopkins took more chances than normal and his workrate from 5-12 was pretty decent.

He started slow but then after round 5 just pulled away he dint look bad considering he is a 45 year old who hasn't fought for 13-14 month

i had Hopkins taking every round but one after the 4th so basically 9 rounds to 3, and IMO came very close to stopping Ornelas last night, he looked good, but also Ornelas wasn't stupid and held a lot to not allow Hopkins to load up on shots after he felt that overhand right over and over, but B-Hop fought well on the inside and IMO beat the guy clearly, just not 120-109 clearly

He looked good thopugh I think it was more shots absorbed then known to be by the caliber of opp he faced Ornelas is not a world beater but managed to land some hard flush shots....

Hopkins is still world classs without a doubt,,,,

When he retires lets hope he does not open a travel agency...The people would never know where they will end up

He looked ok. Age could be getting to him or he was a bit rusty and took Ornelas a bit lightly.

[El Kabong]

He was his usual tedious self vs Ornelas....one of the most difficult fighters to watch, he's kind of like a smaller more well respected John Ruiz
