    ever notice how guys like bowe, judah do a lot of prefight bullshite whether it be cowardly king hits or mouthing off non stop.

    but once they get in the ring they usually quit if the going gets too tough?

    whereas you look at guys like kostya, or hatton prefight and they usually appear jolly or at least civil. but once in the ring they turn into killers and not afraid to mix it up.

    i realise this is a rather broad generalisation, but i just find it funny when mayweathers and toney's say they are gonna go to war then they do the opposite.

    that's why im excited about taylor/pavlik, kessler/cazalghe, maskaev/peter, pacman/barrera, holyfield/sultan all coming up. these guys might not deliver much entertainment prefight, but you know you'll get some sparks once the bell rings!

    once again i know it's generalising a bit but seriously i've seen it a lot with defensive minded type fighters. they bark a lot before the fight then try their best to avoid trading once in the fight. maybe it's just my imagination LOL

    That's gotta really hurt for a guy who claims he never tipped a waiter until after beating Trinidad.

    If they really want to set a standard for behavior they'll dock Mayorga his entire paycheck for every fight.

    That's crap.
    Bowe never quit.
    And Donald has a legendary chin.

    "200,000 is nothing to B-Hop"

    Tell him that! The guy will probably be losing sleep for weeks over this, and rightfully so.

    That punch won him the fight. Pyschologically Donald lost the fight there and then.

    Bowe should have been fined for that. Great punches though! Never knew Donald had a legendary chin, but he certainly seemed to take those punches well! How would Lewis have taken those punches?

    As for Hopkins being fined 200K - that figure is too high. Fine if the money goes to charity but, as we keep asking, where does it go?

    Hahaha I guess things don't cancel eachother out then huh

    I like Hopkins but I'm glad he got fined. Intentional or not, that was a dick move.
