    Were there grounds to disqualify Hopkins in this fight for blatant and repeated rabbit punching??

    Yeah Hopkins later admitted it was the hardest he was ever hit in a fight. Hopkins looked for ways to turn fights by fouling when he faced adversity. He did it against Robert Allen too, another big puncher.

    Do you mean in the second fight? I didn't see the first fight but the second one was a foulfest that was still pretty enjoyable. I don't see it as Hopkins fouling everytime hes faced with adversity, I just think he fouls because he loves it. I thought he was beating Winky but he fouled him just for the fun of it.
