Executive Privilege: Classless, Clueless Bernard Hopkins Is Mr. Bad Example

[Kev]

I actually completely disagree with the article 100% Hopkins showed great restraint in my opinion. It was a very close fight and the only two significant punches of the fight were landed by Bernard.

He put Joe on his ass and rocked him to his boots on another occaision and ordinarily in a close fight where one fighter scores a knockdown he will get the decision, Hatton against Collazo, Oscar against Quartey, Manny against Marquez for example.

So BHop clearly felt he won the fight and said so but said so with class imo.

Unlike Toney against Peter he didnt shout out that he had no respect for his opponent. Unlike Winky against Taylor or Mora against Alaya he didnt storm out of the ring in protest.

He reacted no worse than either of the Marquez brother's did when they lost their recent fights.

He was polite, he didn't shout, he didn't swear, he gave Max Kellerman an interview without being rude or aggressive what more do people expect of him?

It's ironic that when Glen Johnson claimed the judges were bought and he was robbed against Dawson people actually posted what a great and moving speech it was!

Bhop fought an excellent fight, humiliatied Joe with a first round knockdown and lost only by split decision whilst being 43 years old.

Anyone who criticises him is just hating.
