    Fail.

    I mentioned "exploding with combinations" and moving out causing Pavlik to reset his rhythm. That suggests both speed and movement. Plus...as for holding..although I think the refereeing was bullshit...Bernard WAS penalized for holding...numbskull.

    No fucking way in hell should he have taken ANY points away in that fight.

    If Hops was that smart, he'd have figured out Calzaghe. I think Jones can win this fight and he can then rub it into Hop's face. That will build up for the Hops/Jones rematch.

    Who can figure out Calzaghe?

    Regardless....Hopkins very nearly won and he scored the only KD in that fight which eneded in a split decision.

    Interesting thread.

    Not bringing it up to boast...as I've been wrong on big matchups before as well.

    but it's interesting to see people's opinions before the fight

    And interesting to see I was wrong. I thought Hops couldn't deal with volume anymore. How wrong I was!

    I hate Hopkins more than anyone,.. but it's best to do the honourable thing, and admit that the bald-arsed cracker was thoroughly counter-punched to a decisive loss, fair and square.
