    Didnt pay for it.

    Watched it for free on local TV while I was having our Sunday lunch.

    It was alright, for a free show. Hopkins was over the top, though.

    I got in the theater for free but I feel the value was lacking.

    i think it's a little ****ed up to watch fights for free on the internet. it's basically stealing. these guys get punched in the head for a living & usually end up with serious health issues by the end. all for our entertainment. if i were a pro boxer I wouldn't give a **** what fans think who don't pay to watch me. it's prizefighting. that's the whole point.

    I didn't pay for the fight, there just wasn't anything appealing about it. The first fight wasn't anything special and lately Hopkins hasn't exactly been overly entertaining.

    The undercard looked weak as well. Mora against an unknown wasn't exciting. Juarez-Litzau looked like a solid fight but it lacked the interest to be the main support bout.

    I wasn't able to watch the ESPN and Showtime fights from Friday. So with those 4 fights recorded and the Top Rank Fox show on Saturday there was plenty of boxing to help avoid the train wreck that was on ppv.

    Agreed, they were both a couple cheating old fogies, it was all I could do to endure the hug-fest

    Jag, I just didn't want to see Roy ko'd or fight like a man who didn't want to let his hands go because he would get tired... I heard the fight was good at times, but mostly terrible, but you did not waste your money...

    I disagree with people watching online streams for free. If you are employed and/or over 21 and watched a free online stream, shame on you.

    Maybe i'm just bitter because I paid $59.95 for the HD feed...

    I did and don't feel great about it. A lot of people said this fight would be boring and so on and so forth, but I was obtimistic that it would at least be a somewhat entertaining affair. I was wrong. It was a sad bout for both fighters. Sad to see the delushiional Roy Jones carry on and also a bit sad to see that Bernard Hopkins has slowed too.

    I laid out my $50, refused to pay the extra $10 for HD. To tell the truth, I hardly watched much of the fight at all. It was more an excuse to have a few friends over and get completely obliterated through consumption of abhorrent quantities of alcohol and eat pizza.

    Hopkins won the fight, but liquor won the event.
