HBO: Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Smith Jr. & Oleksandr Usyk vs. Thabiso Mchunu RBR.

The excuse thing did irritate me

 

Did anyone actually expect him to graciously admit defeat? This is Bernard Hopkins we're talking about. Don't know if he believes it himself but, f*ck it, he's entitled to his delusions. I'm all for it if it allows him to go out with his pride fully intact in his own mind. Please retire. No Chad Dawson sh*t. Sad to see him so upset but hope that he's finally realised that it's time to call it a day. Has Jim Lampley cried yet? We only got the Kellerman interview here in the UK.

 

Hey the Fight Game's on, haven't seen this yet.

 

id let him away with it, if everyone wasn't pretending like he is some freak of nature, he is a freak of pharmaceutical advances

 

When Lampley says Lederman is 'America's unofficial scorer' he's admitting that a lot of viewers in the US look at a fight through his scoring biases.

 

Maybe it wasn't Mercer vs Morrison. Maybe it was Rahman vs Maskaev?

 

You're right, a sport is a sport.

 

Not exactly. Rahman was out cold for a few minutes on the floor.

 

They sat him up after a minute.

He goes out of the ring at 1:52 and is sitting up at 3:00.

 

Resumed bitching would be the only point I would correct.

 

You're fight. Rahman though still looked out while sitting after 3:00, barely understanding what's happening.

B-Hop after 1 minute already claimed he was pushed of the ring, he was clearly in better shape

 

I left as soon as it ended to beat the traffic!

 

The eye test tells it all. And who he beat leaves much to be desired. Holyfield was a lineal champion. Usyk is not a champion..and he's not it.
