It was his first loss in what was a spectacular, stellar career. He felt he let his countrymen down, especially after all the sh*t Hopkins spouted before the fight.
But I've always given Hopkins all the credit in the world on that night. He fought a masterful fight, and toppled the great Felix Trinidad. It was well-deserved.
