    Exactly lets also combine the fact that Hopkins was never known to be a knockout artist either !

    Hopkins could punch at earlier in his career. he had some good knock outs then and had good ko percentage thou. But that was some weird fight, the whole saga.:lol:

    LOL @ 35% of the people here thinking it was a fix. Yes, because Oscar would willingly throw a fight in order to sign a hot commodity like Bernard Hopkins as a partner with GBP.

    Message boards in general are some of the most conspiracy-happy places in the world. Its as though there's a healthy contingent of people who genuinely believe reality itself is controlled by a small group who predetermine everything, no matter how minute or unimportant.

    It seemed like a legit body shot, no doubt in my mind. By the way, I don't think Hopkins would've roll on the floor after the KO if it was fixed haha. :lol:

    uh dont fixes usually involve the big draw/ face of boxing win

    why would the ppl behind the scenes fix a fight for the lesser draw

    punch clearly lands Oscar looks hurt

    some ppl said Oscars reaction looks acted, to me he looks like a guy who never got hit in the liver and is mad after wards because he is disappointed

    Some absolute ****** was saying that because Oscar could pound the ring with his fist he should have been able to get up hence it was all one big fix :lol::lol:. I can imagine half these guys sitting on their laptops with tin foil hats on in order to protect them from Aliens the illuminati and Bob Arum.

    By the way I was dropped in sparring by a body shot ..So not that im an expert but its does take the wind out of you for sure im nowhere on the level of a Dlh but considering his name is Oscar ,and Hopkins is a great actor ie: Dawson you never know :D

    ..I just was pointing out his reaction ..

    I see from the poll results we still have 76 oscarsexuals. I thought they mostly died out but the nutsack swinging is as strong as ever.

    If you sign Hopkins to your promotion team is he worth more or less with a win over Oscar? Oh hes worth more so maybe you throw the fight to guarantee him the win and make more money in the future.

    Oscarsexuals = massive fail

    Dont think it was a fix,just Oscar quit cos the way the fight was heading,he was probably going to be on the receiving end of some punishment!

    It was later said that Oscar was extremely depressed after that fight due to being KO'd. He was embarrassed and didn't even jog for a month let alone train. I remember his brother saying this years after.

    Do you guys not think someone was calling for a bodyshot due to Oscar being over his prime weight and open to them? It seems pretty obvious Hopkins would have been working on the body all through camp.
