As for the fight itself I didn't get to see it yet as Sopcast went down, and not only that but I got locked out of Saddo's due to all those kunting unregistered fucktards who come in here and steal our site when the fights start

Surely the mods must have the power to limit the intake of unregistered users browsing the site during fight times?

I'have a max limit of 300 users allowed on the site and all must be registered that way it would be nice and smooth for us.

Whose with me!!!
I agree completely about the guests. Ive only just managed to get posting now because of the site being too busy. It is somewhat frustrating, but you get used to it after a while.

Anyway, Bilbo...Are you trying to compete with me as a divine and legendary picker of fights?!

Thankfully the Korean channels have randomly brought back HBO boxing after a few months of nothing. No reasons were given either. Streams are unreliable and the quality is low. So I was glad to be free from that today.

The Katsidis fight was an eye opener (or an eye closer if you are Katsidis). He managed to come back from those horrific injuries and manage to land the harder shots when needed and in turn score the knockdowns. He should take 6 months off to heal and regroup. He cannot go into every fight looking as ragged and hittable as he was. It was entertaining, but he needs to work on those skills. I like him though and im glad he won.

The Larios fight was surprising. Linares is for real. Its the first ive really seen of him and I was impressed. Picks his punches very well. Really gets off to the body well.

In a strange way I did actually enjoy the Hopkins: Winky fight. Yes, there was too much holding. To be fair it wasnt always Hopkins though. Yes, Hopkins fought dirty. But since when hasnt he fought like that?

Hopkins was active enough and actually got off some decent combinations when in close. His short right hand was particularly potent. He fought a very crafty fight. Winky threw more but he seemed inneffective and im sure fighting at 170 pounds played a part too. Winky seemed flustered and out of his gameplan early. Winky spent too much time complaining, instead of responding in turn. If the ref isnt gonna help then its up to you to make something happen.

I think Hopkins should have been docked a point for excessive holding. Even if this was implemented I still think it was a good win for Bhop. I had Hopkins winning by 2. Many of the rounds were close affairs and would be scored depending on how you see the fight.

Winky should get back down to 160 or lower. He doesnt belong above middleweight.
