How does Hopkins think he won?

Lack of intelligence does it to people.

 

His personality doesn't allow for the finer quality of admitting one's losses

 

His ego can't accept it.

 

he clearly won the early rounds 1-2 if i'm not mistaken but he did loss overall

 

A lot of Pride you guys will have it one day when you are a mutiple division world champion.....oh no wait you wont.

 

Cause he's a fighter....they are all undefeated in their own eyes.

 

he felt he was never hurt, thought he landed the cleaner shots, knocked joe down. his corner was telling him he was doing great. Everything around him told him and made him think he was winning. problem is, he wasn't. its far differentfor the fighter than the spectator.

 

But Joe doesn't exactly score points in this category after not really giving Hopkins credit for the knockdown in the 1st.

 

Perhaps Hopkins was depending on his girlfriend Byrd?

 

He called the knockdown a slip

 

BHop landed just 11 jabs + landed 105 fewer shots overrall

 

Fights arent won by boxrec.

I had Joe winning 114-113 and you can go check out my post as to how I saw it. But there were 4 rounds you could easily argue for both men. I gave Joe 3 of those....so if you are wondering how someone can give it to Bernard...its that they had the close rounds going to him on clean punching.

Im more confused at the people seeing it 9-3 Joe...or 10-2 even. THAT is ridiculous.

 

cmon he said he was joking after he said it was a slip

 

Hopkins is having memory issues at his age, he probably thought it was some other fight.
