Smoger has a nice short left hook

[Hulk]

Thought both guys were dirty as hell, but Smoger was still in Hopkins corner a little bit and it stunk. No idea when that shot was from

Murat was far worse than B Hop. He constantly hit on the break, punched Hopkins twice when he was down, threw low blows then tried goin Victor Ortiz on Bernard after the fight was over.

He behaved like a bitch n Smoger face palmed him like one as he'd had enough.

I don't think so, he's just much less crafty and so it looked stupid at a few points. He realized no warnings were getting called early and thought he could play the same game. That kidney shot from behind to end one of the earlier rounds was pretty bad from Hopkins I thought, and he was doing his usual holding and hitting/rabbit punching all through the fight without any kind of warning. I don't see how anyone is supposed to box him with a cool head if the ref is going to stand for all that myself.

Bernard walked around a cowering Muratv n illegally gave him a lil love tap then Murat acted as tho Hopkins had just stabbed him or something.

Hopkins was and is no angel, but he certainly didn't hit Murat while he was down or try to blatantly head butt him either.

At first I blew up when Hopkins did that from behind shot, but looking at it it was right in the short ribs. Came out wondering more protect yourself at all times?

I generally like Smoger, but think he was bang out of order with that final slap at the end. He was pretty crappy all through the fight and kept getting physical with Murat for no good reason. I don't blame Murat for getting a bit mental as Hopkins is slimey and if the ref is on your case too, then you are going to punch Hopkins when he's down. You have to get your own back for the constant turning, kissing, holding, running in with the head etc.

I remember a time when you are a Hopkins fan n believed he beat Taylor.

[Gandalf]

I used to like Hopkins and think he did beat Taylor (especially the first fight), but since then he has grown in weight and picked on smaller men, then sporadically beaten evenly sized opponents with a careful approach to who he fights. Dawson and Calzaghe showed that Hopkins is all smoke and mirrors these days when up against solid opposition and he should really retire. He's in it for the money, but he seems like one of these bankers who can never have enough and so it just goes on and on. Give it a rest, nobody cares how old you are.
