Eddie Hopson - Boxer






Ran across this lil guy watching an old episode of Tuesday Night Fights Knockouts, and he was a fast, slick lil fella.

Had a bit of a short career, and only held a world title once, but what a talent he was.

Anyone know much about him? Greynotsoold?

I dunno if 10 years and 32 fights is a short career mate lol.

I saw him fight Tracy Patterson in the late 90s I think it was.

However if I remember rightly he got destroyed, so I know nothing of his slickness or talent.

eddie was a Duva/Benton fighter. Southpaw, very very fast and he was supposed to beat everybody because of this incredible speed. Worked pretty good for awhile, until he fought tracy Harris Patterson who, being a veteran of more than 50 fights and an honest to goodness pro, was not impressed by a guy that was basically a pretty good amateur.
Eddie had this habit of moving real fast, circling to his right, then skipping back the other way, hands down and feet together. Which he generally got away with because he was real fast, but against an honest to goodness pro fighter...As he was skipping back to his left, real fast with his hands down, THP timed a right and that was that. Stopped him in either the 2nd or 5th round on three knockdowns.
I knew he got stopped again right after that and then retired. I didn't know that he came back a few years later.

Watched "fast eddie" box as a junior J.O. kid and he won the nationals! He competed at the Olympic Training Center (Colo Spr. Colo) and lost as an open class fighter to stop him from competing on the national team! I think Georgie Benton had him but I don't remember if he lost interest in the sport or if he got caught by the streets! Entertaining boxer not much pop!!! Ray.

Clearly he's a victim of racism at the hands of spanish television...

Negro means black in Spanish.
Blanco means white in Spanish.

I know it may have been obvious that you were joking.

But I've read your posts and you're clearly an idiot, so you never know.
