Hopkins UD close. I had been edging towards Kelly but he didn't look like a light heavyweight at the weighin and Hops is going to be the bigger guy in there. I am praying Hopkins has one big win left in him.
Pavlik close ud...wouldn't be surprised to see another split decision btw, what was the official vital-peter result? is it considered a stoppage in round 8 or 9? :think
Peter didn't come out of his corner to answer the bell for round 9 . . . so that's a stoppage at 8th. :yep
I believe the 9th has to start for it to be a TKO9. For instance, before it was changed to a ND3, Toney's win over Rahman was a TKO3.
