Hopkins clowns Trinidad

[Mars_ax]

This fight was one of my best “upset picks” if you will. I was a fan of both fighters but no way I was drinking the kool-aid that Tito was a 3-1 or 4-1 fav in this fight. Everybody was so gaga over him destroying Joppy in the last fight and Hopkins having a tougher time with Holmes. All I was thinking was “of course he destroyed Joppy, because Joppy stood RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM” (What a great KO thou…). Hopkins started his career at Light Heavy, no way Tito was going to walk thru him.

My favorite part of this fight was Hopkins using the $200k he got from Golden Palace for putting that painted tattoo on his body and betting it all on himself to win LOL. Classic “Nard!!!

I didn't recall Tito being such a big favorite, I wish i'd bet some money on Hopkins. I remember Trinidad looking like a bobble head doll at times during the fight, especially when Hop would triple up on his jab and follow up with a straight right. Hopkins basically put on a clinic for 12 rounds and then topped it off with the KO, I was loving it.

I'm positive that he was. I even just pulled out the Ring Magazine from the fight. Tito was a 3-1 favorite.

I'm sure you are correct, like I said, I just wish i'd bet some money on it.
