No surprise at all, Boxer, as long as people who read your post have seen the Trinidad fight and the Tarver fight... B-Hop is extremely difficult to hit cause his reflexes are superb, the guy is really a cat, elusive and tricky, when Tito tried to left hook him he was always moving to his left and frustrated Tito all night long until the borinquan was going slightly weary and slower with his punch and at the last moment ( 12th), sneaked himself in and counter-hooked him with the right ( same thing with Tarver in the 5th)... But the problem here is that Hopkins says he's going back to the rough fighting mode and kayo Winky, well, Tito said the same and then he has been retired until this day...
