They should ban all future fighters with the last name of Hopkins.

    They are the most boring fighters in the sport. Demetrius learned well how to grab and run like hell from his uncle. This promoter had two terrible fights. Who is he and why the hell does he have a job? If all fights were this boring, I'd pick me another sport to watch. Like maybe curling or chess.

    Keep in mind, tonight should have been a much better night for boxing. Barring injuries, tonight would have featured Holt-Torres III, Vlad-Povetkin and Toney-Thompson. Injuries, sickness, etc robbed us of a good night of boxing.

    On a related note, D-Hop sucks.

    Martin-All you're threads are pointless. Basically the only pattern is you don't like anyone named Hopkins. That one about Julie Lederman was a real gem. Hope you're proud of that rubbish.

    You just don't appreciate the sweet science if you slag on B-hop so much. You could just watch MMA I guess.

    I think Demetrius did pretty well considering that he took the fight on about a weeks notice.

    Hopkins/Echols 2 is one the most fun boxing fights ever. You should look into it.

    Three big (or semi-big, whichever you prefer) fights on the same day with opponent cancellations. That has to be unprecedented. If anything, you gotta give the promoters credit for saving face even if the fights weren't entertaining. It's not easy to find a suitable opponent on short-notice.

    D. Hopkins was really really ****ing boring. At least you can appreciate the skill of his uncle, but this guy was pathetic.

    Shamelessly running about the ring, holding whenever Holt got close to him.

    I think this rant was borne out of watching the little nephew fight earlier. In which case I agree. And that's coming from a HUGE B-hop mark. Demetrius is a ****ing wannabe, god if he's that boring now, wait till he's 40.
