    Yeah, I had similar feelings going into that fight as well:-(
    As GREAT as Tito is, I just couldn't imagine him beating a hard man like
    B-HOP..BHOP is not someone who will fight with "machimso" and just trade all night...I was SHOCKED at how cleanly Bernard beat him up that night...Very calculating and broke him down frame by frame..

    Easily the performance of the decade with Mayweather's masterpiece over Diego Corrales 2nd.

    Easily the performance of the decade with Mayweather's masterpiece over Diego Corrales 2nd - I would have Hopkins v Trinidad, Barrera v Pacquiao I, and then Mayweather v Corrales as my top 3. 3 masterclass performances.

    Trinidad said immediately after the fight he got his tactics wrong and wouldve done much better had he preparred better but because of the flag thing and the whole nation constantly telling him to kill hopkins he got abit over anxious, Hopkins even agreed with this and said he was just pure anger in there

    Absolutely. And under-rated by myself previously I will admit but now I see it's value. Fantastic win for B-Hop.
