How Good Did Bernard Hopkins Look Last Night ?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Well I fell asleep at about the fifth round and I had Orenlas winning 3 to 1 to that point. I was shocked it looked like B-Hop was extremely slow. Than I started to watch the fifth and I was down until the Junior Seau show. So all and all I couldn't really give anything except he looked slow in those first four rounds. I'll probably watch it tonight.

My man Danny Garcia is looking very good though on that undercard. I believe now he will step up the competition and we will all get introduced to this youngster. Great speed,power,ability and alot of amatuer expierence. De La Hoya has been saying his name quite often latley. I think we will a star from Philadelphia in another couple of years.

I'm liking Garcia alot man. Watched most of his fights lately and will try catch that one. I have heard a rumour from a guy over in the states though that I shouldn't get too excited about him but who knows.... I like him up to now, he's one of my fav prospects along with Danny O'Connor and Dean Byrne...

Danny O'Connor is easy to get excited about! I'm with ya on that one. Being from Mass, I'm able to catch his fights from time to time. Really good young prospect!

I just watched this fight i thought it was a typical Bernard Hopkins performance, i agree with you guys that he probably lost 3 out of the first 5 rounds, or maybe 2 rounds with 1 round even. Because Bernard Hopkins did get beat on the inside a few times.

But Bernard Hopkins did make an adjustment, and then he just cruised to victory after that. He did land some very nice counters, and he was on the verge of stopping his man in the 12th IMO.

All in all a decent warm up fight for Bernard Hopkins, who didn't have it all his own way. Which is what you want to get some rounds in.
