naa it was never a win by a mile. It was close, but I wouldnt sat it was a SD. It was a 60:40 UD, if oyu get my meaning.

It was close enough that had Bhop not been unable to match a younger mans pace, he would have won UD.

Its important to realise Bhops limitations, but same time you've got to admit to the rounds JC was getting outclassed as a boxer. Bhop def has more skill, he really showed up Joes limits early on, and its a good thing he retired, he wouldnt have been able to continue a reign when his assets (speed, fitness) were youthful attributes that would be gone in a year or two and his limted skills simply wouldnt be enough. Why doesnt Bernard take a leaf from Joe's page and retire soone or fighting some easy bums, he is going to ruin his body if he keeps pluggin away at the top fighters like this.


pity Bernard had to play such a negative race card, he ruined what he accomplished in that almost Rocky VI style endnig.
