    Yeah. Teddy did mention that Solomon is not renowned for an inside game (and having seen the kid several times now - he's definitely right about that) but in this particular match-up he's got the slight edge there as Hopkins is just COMPLETELY useless in close quarters. The strange thing is that Hopkins initiated a lot of it. :conf

    Divisions need gatekeepers too. I cant imagine how poorly executed his game plan was tonight, He could have won a number of these rds on the jab alone yet he didnt work it.

    I have found that most poster on here have only been wayching boxing 3-5 years. Just like these clowns that talk bad about RJJ. They never witnessed just how special he was.

    His career was ****ed when the national TV audience reached the unanimous verdict that he'd won a bull**** gift decision over faded light welterweight Stevie Forbes. :yep

    97-93
    99-91 x 2

    for Solomon

    Apparently his ring name has changed from "Busy Bee" to "King" (as in King Solomon).

    Yeah he's 30 but 30 isn't that old anymore. I still consider Cotto young but faded. Still, he's not on Cotto's level. Gatekeeper future ahead if he doesn't straighten up.

    Team Hopkins looked way too happy after they announced the decision. They lost, but Hopkins was smiling like he just won a title
