    Yeah, there is a double standard. I'm glad someone had the number of clinches in that "fight".

    I think mostly people complain specifically about him because he is a very dirty fighter, that makes fights really ugly. He was not only initiating most of the clinches as the compubox showed but he was holding, headbutting and even tackling WR several times with his feet.

    I wish compubox had the number of headbutts in this fight.

    Waldo actually clinched 94 times in the Sam Peter fight.

    But I don't disagree with the OP. Hopkins-Wright was a shitty fight, courtesy of Hopkins.

    If b-hop is so smart,old school and well conditioned how come he cant clearly beat jermaine taylor in two consecutive attempts? The man is methodical,lazy,unwiling to engage,dirty,boring and has little dynamism....Top two middle my ass......He is a businessman with gloves.....

    That's funny. I couldn't see the fight as I was on vacation and didn't even know the result. So I thought I'll just take a look at ESB a couple of days later. Surely the board would be bursting with comments about this "modern classic", the "true fight of the year for the boxing purist". Guess what, I had to dig real deep in the threads to find any indication the fight existed. A true marking of a shitty fight, I guess.
