Did anyone find the Hopkins vs Tavoris fight boring?

:deal
You can say that **** twice.

 

Mixed emotions with this one. Frustrating art I would call it.

 

I found it entertaining. It was a boxing clinic, and I enjoy such fights.

Hopkins at 48 fought the perfect fight against the young, strong Cloud and beat him up.

The only two Hopkins fights that I refuse to rewatch are Hopkins-Winky and Hopkins-Jones II. Any other Hopkins fight I have no problem watching.

 

No especially if you are a Hopkins fan. I always get this uneasy nervousness watching him at this stage thinking he's so fragile. It adds excitement to the fight

 

I agree with this. I enjoy watching hopkins when he's forced not to play the dirty tactics game. His footwork was incredible and his chin never leaves his chest.

 

:deal

 

The first few rounds were a bit frustrating for some people I'm sure, but the tension was so high, even the non-action was exciting. You knew at any moment Hopkins might get hurt, dropped, or stopped, so every duck under one of those winging left hooks really was like a matador controlling a bull.

 

I agree. As I watched, I had visions of him getting caught, stunned dead in his tracks, then taken out with a follow up blow.

Thankfully, Hopkins proceeded to put on a clinic instead.

 

:rofl

 

Classic fight!

 

I can't wait to watch it on TV.

 

I wont rewatch the fight but i found it interesting watching it live

 

history

 

Yeah, most 16 year old name themselves "young kid 16" on a internet forum...:roll:

The fight was dull, as usual with Hopkins fights.

 

Hopkins is and always has been very boring, his only exciting fight I can think of is when he totally destroyed Tarver.
