Hey IB, are you watching the fight on TV or you here also?

Reminiscent of MAB vs Morales

I have mixed feelings about Whitaker vs Hopkins.
On the one hand both are legends.. on the other hand Whitaker is retired for over a decade.. had chronic drug issues and 154 is way past his best weight.
Hopkins haven't fought at 154 for years either. his weight now is 175.
Add to the fact Hopkins is fighting Cloud NEXT MONTH. This fight is just stupid.
Regardless if Hopkins isn't drained.. I predicate Sweet Pea to be brutally knocked out for the first time in his career.
Oh well. some boxers just don't know when to call it quits.

I'll always remember Whitaker as the defensive minded genius of the 90's not this farce of a fight.. not even a main event.

D-Hop is a legend? :blood He's the nephew of one...

If being the nephew of a legend was the only criteria to be one yourself, then Sal Sanchez II is a legend...

A better hopkins whitiker fight would have been bhops vs lance whitiker

D-Hop is a snoozer. Hoping Whitaker can spark him.

Round 2

Whittaker is inching to his left and putting out some jabs. Hopkins doubles his jab through above the ribs stretching forward and takes a couple of extra steps to circle just a bit quicker than Whittaker. Hopkins dives in with a right to the body and then rises with a hook. Whittaker just watches, turns, and pumps slow intermittent jabs into the air. The crowd boos.

10-9 Hopkins

20-18 Hopkins

Jim Watt: 'This is better than I expected it to be' - He must have had low expectations! Understandable I guess

I'm sorry to ask what is probably an over asked question on nights like these. But.. can anyone tell me what time the main event is due to start? In GMT if you want a bonus point.

20-18 Hopkins...

In other news, Whitaker will be a Great Granddad in a few months.

You totally missed that sarcasm, IB.

I'm disappointed.

:rofl

If Goofi had ever picked up a paper title, I'm sure X would've called him out. (remember when Bernard was chasing then-WBC champ Oleg Maskaev? :yep)

He always wanted to play "Anything you can do I can do better" with RJJ's feat of moving up to grab a belt from Ruiz.
