im inclined to agree with that, means

both jones and hopkins could have stopped tarver IMO if they had let the hands go somewhat more....

hopkins still has the belief in himself and so he was able to impose himself over 12 rounds...

jones jr had tarver hurt in their last fight but wasnt able to let it all hang out in an effort to stop tarver....

hopkins did me proud last weekend, watched the fight again tonight....an excellent job!!!
