    Donald has a good chin, no suprise Povetkin was not able to stop him. Bowe is not an intelligent person. Hes a stupid one with a low IQ.

    When did Bowe ever quit? I was never a fan, but the guy stood in there and took his lumps even when Golota battered him in both of their fights.

    That display at the Donald press conference was completely ****ing classless though.

    When tyson went chicken-**** ape-o on lewis, that was the announcement of the fight, not the weigh in the day b4 the fight. Hopkins put the main event in jeopardy by doing that. Even though it was a light push to the face, winky could have suffered some sort of sprain that could of forced him out of the fight. $200,000 is an excessive fine. I sure hope he can afford it.

    If I was Bowe I'd be kinda discouraged that my best cheap shots had no effect on an upcoming opponent! That was a perfect left hook and Donald just looks at him!

    Golota took care of him.

    I don't think they were talking trash about his mom. They just said something like that "hey Bernard you should have listen to you mother and stop fighting 3 years ago, you should have listen to you mother!" I don't look at it as a trash talking.

    Anyway 200K is not much for b-hop (c mon guys! it's his poket change) but knowing him he's a one greedy fighter so i guess he isn't too happy about that.

    $200,000 may sound a lot to our American friends, but to us Brits that works out to about a tenner in the current market! ;)

    What about Vargas vs Mayorga, Vargas nailed Mayorga real good on the conference.

    Even mentioning a guy's dead mother prior to a fight like that is disrespectful.

    And I think some people are making a mistake when acting like 200K is not that big a deal to Bernard. Hop's purse for the Winky bout was 3 million. Taxes probably take about 50% of that. You subtract things like the trainer's fee, cornerman fees, training expenses, etc., and losing 200K on a BS fine for an openhanded push is not such a little thing, IMO.

    It was Bowe's team that sucked the most.

    Yeah but no one cares if Mayorga gets stuck for running his mouth, sometimes he goes way to far with what he says...That dude is X rated rofl.

    You should never be glad about something like that.

    :lol:

    It's great to have at least ONE edge over the Yanks, what with their $3.00 a gallon oil and cheap-as-chip's-arse food.

    Anyway, this is a good move. It's a shame they can't fine Hopkins for his disgraceful performance in the ring as well as his shaming of the sport outside of it.
