So it was quite shocking to see that, but one of the best rounds of that fight had to be the 6th, because Hopkins was floored in the 5th and was badly wobbling at the end of that round, yet he come out for the 6th like he hadn't even been hurt and gave Mercado a battering. I don't know what it is about Philadelphia fighters but they have hearts the size of Texas.
