Sounds a lot like the Calzaghe fight then.Yes it was like that but even worse, at one point in the fight. Bernard Hopkins hit RJJ quite hard with a rabbit shot, so RJJ does it back to him. But its clearly a tap, yet B-Hop goes to the floor for 2 minutes. It was ridiculous, and he only done that because he was fading late.Seems like everytime Hopkins has to fight a bit these days he resorts to some shite acting display. Was it anything like Calzaghe vs Hopkins? I remember one of the times he complained in that fight for low blows I was thinking I could have literally flicked him harder than Joe hit him below the belt. Hopkins is not a good advertisment for brands making the foul protector (cup).I missed a few of the early rounds because i fell asleep, but i felt after the 5th round RJJ was doing quite well. H landed some clean right hand leads, i also felt he won some of the later rounds, to be honest i didn't think B-Hop looked better than RJJ.
He was just that bit more active and willing, but from what i saw it looked closer than the scorecards suggested, and good on RJJ for making it competitive. Because B-Hop should of had atleast 2 points deducted for some of his antics.
