The Tricks

[AdamGB]

How does Bernard stretch the rules? Let me count the ways!

-A thumb in the eye
-Kidney shots when the ref's view is blocked
-Low blows not hard enough to cause a stoppage, but hard enough to, ahem, get one's attention
-Grinding one's chin into the shoulder of the foe during clinches
-Holding onto clinches with the arm opposite the ref to burn some clock
-Using the top of the head as a ram
-Spinning the foe and hitting him from behind

The guy is a frakkin genius!

or a dirty cheating bastard...

Agree, the man has learned so much in the ring about what he can and can't get away with. I noticed against Pascal that every time they clinched Bernard put his left arm under Pascals right arm and around his back and pulled tight and pushed his head into Pascals, then every time the ref said mind the head he said he's got hold of my arm and sure enough it looked like Pascal had his right arm around Bernards left.

I was really happy for Hopkins though, I think he has set a record that will stand for a long long time here. I've never seen a 46 year old athlete in any sport look in such good condition let alone one as tough as boxing. In years to come i'll be proud to say I remember when Hopkins won the title at 46 and it was the genuine lineal title too. Living Legend, that's the only way to describe B-HOP.
