    Grab alot... counter some... if he gets tired pretend to get hit in the balls... rinse and repeat...

    Grab, throww a little shoulder, grind head, spin him and move away. Look for shots on way out. Repeat. over and over.

    Headbutt-rabbit punch-low blow combo, and then finish it with a full-nelson to armbar submission

    same tactics as tarver fight. You have to remember BHOP doesn't have the 1 punch KO power, so i can only see him winning on points.


    Anyone know what time in the UK the fight is?

    I'd imagine at some stage he feigns injury in typical Hopkins fashion.

    Haha, you guys are rough on Hopkins. He didn't win 51 fights with headbutts and rabbit punches.

    Would you say he is the best boxer of this era?

    His name gets brought up a lot in that discussion, I've also heard Toney, Floyd, Pacman and Roy Jones thrown in.

    I personally would have it between hopkins, pacquiao, mayweather and jones.

    However, i believe that if Hopkins wins tonight, that he will have one or two more very special things happening in his career before he goes. And if all goes well and he does, then yes, he will be the best of this era.
