    Just watched it there.

    What's even more impressive is Hopkins is still doing it 10 years late, but how I'll never know! :happy

    I was a Tito fan but made money off that fight.

    Poor Felix was absolutely owned in that fight.

    What a great ****ing fight. I was tellin everyone that night that hops was going to school the **** out of tito. I wish I was old enough to have money to bet on that ****, would have been a huge comeup.

    steve kim got it right, he'd seen hopkins training, he said "hopkins is gonna shuffle the deck on trinidad". exactly what he did. great win. went a bit scary at the end with the chants of "USA USA"

    A lot what's going on with Tito with his personal life and the 9/11 event... It was a huge upset and Hopkins became a name. I wonder why Hopkins never agreed to the rematch esp. overpricing himself...

    Hopkins took a page and study the Oscar fight thats how he won that fight he was very careful that night and really never traded punches with Tito that night.
