Legal or otherwise it was good to see hopkins come a cropper with that tactic.

Ive hated that maneouver of Hops for years;
He throws a right, drops his head and then charges/leans into his opponent. All in the same move.

He may (though he's often not looking) land the right, if not he may land the head. If both thats a bonus and 'what a legend of ringcraft he is, amazing!':roll:
if neither connect, the opponent is climbed on/grabbed anyway so cant work or counter and the boring, spoling (dirty?) tactic cycle begins.

Its great he's fighting at his age, but not when he resorts to that ****,which he frequently does.

Good on Chaz for his 'get the fuk off of me!' response.
It was gratifying and i dont care if its legal or not or whether Hops is genuinely injured.
I hope he is for excessive use of that cheap BS maneouver.

Ok theres plenty of Hops/CD threads, but i just wanted to say this as its bugged me with him for a while, so it was nice to see some 'Instant Karma'

 

:good
Its a horrible cheating dirty cop-out of a ***** move isnt it?
The hopeful right, head down/charge, grab and/or climb-'combination'.

Imagine his opponents resorted to that ****?:verysad

 

My wife.

The ******* must have been on my FB page:twisted:

 

Good post:good

 

Good question.

 

Not to the Level of my idol Holy or fellow legend Hops Malden? no.
I think the next generation of Bradley and Ward are unchallenged outside the U.S. too.

My fellow scouser Tony Bellew showed early promise the other night, but Terry O' Connor read him the riot act and may have killed that billy goat career at birth.

 

:cheers

And then grab and spoil if it fails.
Take that slime move out of his 'Arsenal' and his career wouldnt be nearly as prolonged.
