    Hilarious. Perhaps one of the most *****y and insane pre fight stunts ever. The second time he did it was in puerto rico in a stadium and he had to run for his life.

    God bless America

    I thought it was tacky but not surprising given who did it.

    It's a little tacky if he does it once in the US, but totally different when he does it again in hostile territory and almost dies for it.

    I agree, it was tacky and stupid to do it in Puerto Rico.

    Hopkins should kiss Don King's feet for making that fight. It was the resurrection of the then forgotten Bernard Hopkins. At the time Hopkins resume looked worse than Golovkin's. Hopkins final resurrection was the Oscar fight. Again it was Oscar that dictated the terms even though Hopkins was the champ. But Hopkins had no choice because he had 1 foot in the grave before that fight. I'm not a huge Bernard Hopkins fan.

    :lol:

    Titos face after Bernard threw it was funny but seeing Bernard running for the helicopter on the roof was priceless

    You gotta understand B Hops mindset. He wasn't getting any respect at the time and he was about fed up with that BS. They had Tito as the favorite and he was getting the short end of the money. That sh*t didn't set right with him and he snapped. Inside and outside of the ring. It payed off too.
