    Edit: I just read this USA today article and it says shumenov took the belts back when it was his time on the podium

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...kins-set-to-defend-his-legacy-at-49-/7846653/

    "With Kazakhstani Ambassador Kairat Umarov looking on, Shumenov did not react at first, but appeared to be fuming and embarrassed. A few minutes later he addressed the media and Hopkins.
    "It's an honor fighting you," he told Hopkins, who is about a 2-1 favorite. "But you're mistaken if you think I'm thinking that I am fighting (a guy who is) 50 years old.
    "On Saturday night, we're going to see who is taking whose belts. I've never faced anyone on Bernard's level. But I am not fighting for the money. I am fighting for the honor, the glory to be the best and to be acknowledged as a great fighter.
    "I prepared for this fight like it's my last fight. I am ready to die to get the victory and you're going to see that. I am a man of my word, so you're going to see a great fight."
    Then he reached over and reclaimed his belts.
    Hopkins, the ultimate baiter and a master at head games. broke out in a wide grin. "Now we got a promotion," he said. "He's alive!"

    I'm sure Hopkins will believe that it was a master move that has given him some intangible advantage but in reality it will have zero impact on the outcome of the fight. He's probably too skilled and will peck his way to a points victory.

    LOL. BHOP has done this several times before.

    I have to give it to Shumenov though. He has maintained his cool throughout the pre-fight drama and appears to be very focused.

    Bernard Hopkins History Week is finally upon us!!! :happy

    This reminds me of when Floyd put his hands around Ortiz's throat before their fight. Not a good sign for Shumemov.

    Na actually if Shu would of retaliated then you could say Bhops got under his skin. That didn't happen. He has respect for Hopkins. As great as he is Bhops not really known for being classy.

    That would get under anybody's skin. That's disrespectful.

    Would you continue to respect a man that disrespected you like that?

    **** all what he's done in the sport.

    Shumenov needs to go out there and beat Hopkins like you would beat an old man on the street.

    To be honest, Shumenov strikes as a tough dude, he ain't scared of B-Hop, come on.

    Damn...

    Ya'll are dumb as a damn stone.

    Think about.

    Is Hopkins an old man? Yes.

    Is Hopkins using pen/street tatcitics?

    Yes.

    So what is the remedy? Beat him like an old man on the street.

    It's simple.

    What the **** is wrong with ya'll? Education system is faling.
