Showtime Extreme: Nathan Cleverly Vs. Shawn Hawk RBR

[Hatesrats]

Holy shit!!! These guys beat the shit out of eachother.

[Samurai's Slice]

Escobar's nose is likely broken, Eyes swollen and face reddened but fought like a man until the end.

[Drew101]

Pretty impressive stuff from Orozco to take out a tough, determined opponent.

[rainmaker]

That was a good fight. Better action than the European cards from earlier.

[Hatesrats]

Broner looking like fruit @ringside.

[Samurai's Slice]

So... Someone else doing the main card? I have done my share of RBR work for the day today. I am no IB that guy is a machine.

That's not how it works. Hopkins makes people pay for mistakes. Whether a 48 year old Hopkins can still do what the 46 year old Hopkins could do is the question.

Pascal dropped Hopkins twice with Hopkins on the ropes.

Yes if Pascal pushed the fight he could have won. Calzaghe beat Hopkins just by coming forward throwing flailing combos with his head up in the air. Hopkins only manage to counter him fir the first few rounds until he tired. Cleverly is bigger, stronger a.d faster then Calzaghe and Hopkins is now closer to 50 then 40.

You can't win a fight when you can't pull the trigger and Hopkins can no longer pull the trigger and with even more time passing he will be even worse.

Exactly, Pascal early on when he was sharp and fast, was too much for Hopkins to handle. It was only when he slowed down, cos his stamina is shit, that Hopkins got in the fight.
