Audley Harrison TKO Simphiwe Nongqayi UD Carlos Quintana UD Celestino Caballero TKO Evander Holyfield TKO
I don't put much stock in Juarez, but I couldn't bet on Litzau given his chin. So, ya, I consider that one an upset, in that sense.
I think Juarez would have actually won if it went on, i saw him putting in some solid work and seemed to me that Jason was feeling it a bit more, just IMO, but who knows. Hopefully Hopkins and Roy retire now (though for some reason, i doubt they will) and we see Haye in a meaningful fight up next...

Some post fight quotes ------------------------------- Hopkins "It was kind of rough. He's a warrior. He's a veteran and a good fighter. I see spots. I have been hit in the back of the head before, but in the gym with head gear on. I was toughing it out. I was seeing spots in the sixth round. "I felt I got hit in the back of the head and my legs went and I started seeing spots. I was mad. Weeks did a helluva job. He was doing the best he could to keep us both under control. "I wanted to keep pressing. I'm a scrappy fighter. I might not be flashy. I might not be pretty, but I am a hard core Philadelphia fighter and blue collar worker like most Americans. "The rematch was well worth it. It was sweet revenge for me. "I want David Haye, the heavyweight champion of the world." ROY "I feel great. Even at my age I'm still in control. I want to thank god for as healthy as I am today. Pensacola in the house. Thank all I my fans for their support. I kind of got behind. I was trying to knock him out because I was behind. He is a very crafty veteran. He was hitting me behind the head. "I was worried the first time. I knew if I was fouled too much I would have been disqualified. I wanted to give the fans what they wanted. I tried to do that tonight."

I would like to see an interview with hopkins where the interviewer honestly asks him questions that fans want asked.... lol. I would have said, really bernard? Hardcore? lol... oh well, the fight was what it was... and hopkins and roy were who they were. Cant wait for the real major fights this month.
Damn right. The Hopkins/Jones farse aside, I've enjoyed this year's fights up to this point, hopefully we'll get more entertaining fights down the stretch.
