    It's the most technical of technical knock outs, X. You got hit, and that knocked you off your feet and out of the ring. You couldn't get back in within 20 seconds. That's a kayo.

    Been a hell of a career, but Father Time gets everyone in the end. Even you. The sooner you realize this, the better.

    Hops explaining it is hilarious. This is boxing's way of telling Bhop it's time to let it go. He still schooled Smith at some points with beautiful counters, leads, and head movement. Appreciate all he brought to boxing over the years.

    True competitor to the end.

    Not how I wanted to see Bernard to go out, loss was fine but but seeing B-Hop go out like that and making excuses, total bummer.

    Two judges were set to rob Smith. Glad they didn't get the chance.

    I hear you 100%. No excuses for that. But **** how many PEDs can a 52 year old man inject to match a 26 year old.. aint enough trt in the world to turn back those clocks. I just hate seeing the old legends take those falls.

    Any chance Hopkins blames Putin for the "push" in the post fight presser?
