why did Ppl think Trinidad was gonna beat Hopkins????

[ICB]

Trinidad was not overated and i thought he would win because of his ko power i expected a ko from him because he carried his power upto middle with his ko of Joppy

His impressive KO of Joppy in Tito's 1st fight at 160, combined with Hopkins' subpar performance against Keith Holmes.... all that kinda raised my expectations, too. Hopkins was just too much of a tough nut for Tito to crack, however.

I figured it would come down to a hard and close decision and i was hoping it was for trinidad..

I was already a fan of Bhop knew he hadnt, wouldnt and probably will never be stopped...
Personally i think he is one of the most underrated defensive greats of all time..
But the way in which bernard fought tito was genius and what happened in that fight was exactly what Bernard had expected to happen.. It was pretty much planned to a tee..

Yep to be honest Hopkins performance against Tito was excellent like poetry in motion Hopkins was at his best there he fought extremely well he done everything exactly right and even brawling sometimes that was one of the most beautiful performances i've ever seen in ring and props to Tito for lasting that long because he took some very hard shots.
