Fake KO

[CFH]

I don't think it was, but Hatton's ko of Castillo looked suspicious. I think what happened was Castillo realized he didn't have a chance and just stayed down; especially given all the bullshit surrounding that fight I could understand if he just wanted to get out of there.

I didn't think about it that way but it was a bit too early to think someone doesn't have a chance, I mean, it was barely round 4. From the replay, it looks like a well placed body punch. I'll watch the fight again.

It was a well-placed punch. I don't think Castillo dove and I'm sure he was badly hurt by the punch, I'm just saying I don't think his mind or his heart was really in the fight given what had happened in the lead-up and I wonder if that played a role in his decision to stay down.

Sure, a well-placed body punch, but sometimes you can sense when a guy really wants to get up and continue and when a guy is more like "To hell with this" like it seemed to have happened to Castillo.

That's what I am saying. Not necessarily that that was the case, but that is what it looked like to me.

Oscar De la Hoya vs. Bernard Hopkins

Oscar couldn't run any longer and didn't want to get his face busted up.

So he took a good body shot and found a soft spot on the canvas.

Then proceeded to pound his fist on the mat in frustration that he could not get to his feet.

I am not sure about trying to protect his face, specially after fights against Mosley and Quartey where he went face forward to exchange punches with them and other opponents. But the whole pounding his fist on the mat made me think he was over-doing the whole act. Yes, the body punch was connected nicely, no doubt, but the pounding on the canvas? Iiiiiiiiii dunno.

I don't think it was a hard shot to the body at all. Bernard connected with the palm of the glove and to me it did not look like there was alot of force behind it; Even Manny Steward was not totally convinced by it either. If you want to see a convincing body shot then watch Gatti ko Dorin and see his whole rib cage move...Now that is a real body shot.

[Lance Uppercut]

This is a recent Tommy Morrison fight. His oppenant does such a horrible job of overselling the knockout.

also lets not forget he wouldnt have been recieving any of his purse, it was all owed out to corrales and i think the commision for him coming in over weight for castillo - corrales 3
