    Sucks to see what? I mean it's natural to pull for a guy who is 52, but I can't really buy the injured ankle/leg at all frankly, he spaced out from the last shot that put him through the ropes and you could almost see him decide to feign it being something else when he hit the ground. Got this one way wrong, Smith is a likeable guy to boot so good for him.
    No man that's what I was saying. It sucks to see that with a favorite. Whatever you think of a guy you've followed, going like that whack sucks.

    Yea I realized that as soon as I posted, I blame a nice double IPA. Much as HOpkins is a legend, he has looked for bogus calls quite a few times now and this was one of them. If that was called anything but a TKO it would have really sucked.

    I don't know man, I can't think of a more Bernard Hopkins way to go out than Bernard just did.

    I'm disappointed I'm reading Usyk will probably be on the undercard of GGG/Jacobs. I had hopes they would at least look to see if any other champs wanted to unify before settling into a soft seat.

    Other than getting KO'd, Hopkins complaining about a loss is a perfect way for him to go out.

    In all seriousness though, I never thought that father time would beat Hopkins. But at almost age 52, and a 2 year layoff, I don't think anybody could be a world beater.

    Just watched the fight lol how the fuck can Bernard look himself in the eye after that. He knows fine well he wasn't pushed and he never hurt his ankle what a fucking joke that guy is. He quit and was looking for the no contest and everyone knows it.

    I love Bernard and that was hard to watch him go out that way. His legs looked shot, but he can still slip and counter quite well for his age. Felt he was losing, but keeping it fairly close on the cards for a late comeback. He got knocked out clean by a nice, hard nosed kid. Great athletes hate losing and Bernard is no different. It's part of what makes them so great. He knows he lost fair and square. He dared to be great one last time, but it was one too many.

    This was basically a battle between the aging vet who relies in technique vs the young pressure fighter who's coming to take your head off. This was actually an intriguing match up. Some of us have seen it in gyms around the world via sparring sessions.

    Indeed. Some of us have lived it.

    Hopkins is still a legend and Duran did worse and so is he.

    Hopkins has been great , but I have never noticed the ankle he has on the back of his head. That ankle on his head hit that floor hard after he had been hit with 4 power shots..

    Fucking hell. Just seen this. Lucky he didn't injure himself very badly landing like that.

    Unfortunately I think we'll see him in the ring at least one more time.

    Loved seeing that. I've always hated Bhop for lulling me to sleep for all those years.

    He went out getting KO'd and whining like a baby!

    Just watched Hopkins interview. He was so adamant that he was pushed out of the ring. He definitely wasn't. Also, found out that one judge had Hopkins up on a card. How is that possible? I had one round for Hopkins, but I could see two rounds at most.
