My card Rd 1 -Ornelas Rd 2 -Ornelas Rd 3 -Hopkins Rd 4 -Ornelas Rd 5 -Hopkins Rd 6 -Hopkins Rd 7 -Hopkins Rd 8 -Hopkins Rd 9 -Hopkins Rd 10 -Ornelas Rd 11 -Hopkins Rd 12 -Hopkins Not exactly intruiging stuff. Hopkins was far better in general but took awhile to get into the fight, losing him a few rounds. Also, took a round or two off, but didnt lose any round clearly over the whole 12...didnt win many too clealy either, but did more than enough in most. Could have stopped Ornales in the end 116-112 (i gave Ornales a round, #10 than was probably Hopkins)....but its late 117-11 either
Well yeah, but against a poor fighter who still got a couple of heavy shots in, but still for 44 yr old, quite amazing.
I had it 10-2, which does feel wide on the balance of the fight but it was just typical Hopkins mugging the close rounds. He's a master of doing that. Not the worst fight, didn't expect anything too amazing considering it was Hopkins in a tune up but it started at a reasonable hour so well worth it.
The ****ing reason i watched this fight was for the Hopkins interview, I aint watching this depressing **** again.
He landed a fair bit, got caught a fair bit and had a good 12 round workout with a chosen tune up fighter. A positive: he didn't look that tired (not surprised his tape come undone though), a negative: he was caught a fair few times by a limited figher.
