Re: Most Pointless Rematches
The fight was starting to get rough and Mills lane went to break a clinch and accientally sent Hopkins through the ropes.Originally Posted by lance Uppercut
Boxrec says that in the first Hopkins vs Allen fight, the fight had to be stopped after Mills Lane Pushed Hopkins out of the ring. I never heard of this. What happened?

Re: Most Pointless Rematches
Why was that pointless? At the time of the first stoppage Vargas was on top and looking like the most likely to win, it was a close fight. In hindsight you say that cos the second fight was so one sided but at the time a rematch was defintly needed.

Re: Most Pointless Rematches
I think some of these fights look stupid in retrospect......but sometimes they don't look that bad whenever they are made.The first fight was competetive.
Only when the guy who lost a decent fight the first time, gets his ass kicked again. Then they look stupid.

Re: Most Pointless Rematches
Some people think Hopkins faked the injury to the knee. Because Allen was actually wining the fight and was begining to gain momentum.The fight was starting to get rough and Mills lane went to break a clinch and accientally sent Hopkins through the ropes.Boxrec says that in the first Hopkins vs Allen fight, the fight had to be stopped after Mills Lane Pushed Hopkins out of the ring.

I haven't seen the fight in a long time but I think that's how the fight was going. I have about 30 Hopkins fights and I know I haven't seen them all but I've seen the Allen trilogy for sure...
Going through this just now Hopkins had a couple of rematches he shouldn't have what the hell did he fight Echols twice for?

Re: Most Pointless Rematches
It might seem pointless now but not at that time.
When JCC sparked him out in 2 it was a shocker. Especially cause he had just stepped into world class as opposed to Roger who was a former Champ. and had been on the world stage for a couple of yrs.
Leading up to the fight Roger was just like his nephew. Talking loud and saying he was gonna destroy JCC. He was gonna do this and that....
Well, JCC gets him out fast. Then came the whole weight talk from Roger saying he had issues and blah! blah! blah!
Roger went flew up to 140 where years later it happened that JCC was highly ranked by his good from Sulaiman in the WBC ranks and Roger was the champ. A rematch because of the shocking win by JCC and the weight excuse.
While Roger lasted longer the outcome was the same, JCC won.
I don't think it was pointless especially because it wasn't an imidiate rematch and because it just happened years later. JCC was highly ranked and Roger happened to be the champ. The outcome of fight #1 was just the topping on the cake.
You know which JCC rematch was pointless?
vs. ODLH.
Now that was a pointless rematch.

Re: Most Pointless Rematches
The fight was even up till Hopkins fell out of the ring, I don't think it was his knee that he hurt. Could of been but i think it was his shoulder, i will have to check it out later.Some people think Hopkins faked the injury to the knee.

Elchols became number 1 IBF contender making Hopkins fight him a second time, both fights were actually quite good. Second one was a dirty fight though.
