    Hopkins straight up quit (again) in that fight. What a joke. He quit against Dawson he faked low blows in multiple fights good riddance to this guy. Fans don't pay hard earned money to see a guy quit or fake low blows in Boxing.

    He got knocked out and out of the ring to boot. He was probably concussed he did hit his head on the concrete floor.

    No one is gloating or saying Smith is something special. B-Hop still showed good skill in this fight. But he couldn't go a fight without some bull**** right? He had to intentionally headbutt Smith. Typical. Lol, he got slept and couldn't accept it. That talk with Max was cringe worthy.

    I was never a fan of Hopkins but it sucks seeing old washed up fighters going out like that.

    Yeah, I never like that about the older Hopkins. Sure, he's crafty but he knows when he's beat and looks for an easy way out. He did it against Dawson and now Smith. Still, for a 52 year old man, how in the F is he still competitive?

    I'd like to see James Toney drop down to CW and fight Murat Gassiev. That would give Toney a chance of breaking Hopkins record of being the oldest fighter to win a World Championship.

    That's not how I wanna see any fighter go out. That was a big drop to the floor, head first, and most would've layed there for a while. Bhop got up.

    Toney is obese and addicted to steroids. He can't fight.

    it would give him the chance of getting knocked out of the ring even worse.

    Yeah I don't think he was put to sleep like people are saying. He hit an Fing concrete floor with the back of his head. I'm surprised he was only given 20 seconds but those are the rules and it sure looked like he quit. I give him a pass for his age.
