I agree and disagree. I do think that was a lucky punch.He threw it on purpose but no way did he think it would land like that.Like you said he had his eyes closed. But if he landed that shot on Hop i don't know if it would knock him out like jones being that I think Hop has a great beard. Hes only been down twice in almost 16 years both in the same fight 10 years ago. And if anyone can remember that fight the shots that dropped him caught him under the chin almost in his neck. Put me in with a middleweight and let me get a clean uppercut to his neck i bet you i would drop him too. That being said i don't think he could get that kinda shot off on hop. Hes a great defensive fighter and every southpaw i've seen him fight he has owned. I don't know if hop will win cause size will be a big issue but I do think hopkins is a way better boxer than tarver. But so is jones and we saw what happened so we'll wait and see.
