Who thinks DLH took a dive against B-Hop?

No way, that was a legit punch. Nobody is gonna get up from the "chopped liver with Hopkins sauce".

 

I'm a big Oscar fan, so I hate admitting it... but something was definately strange. I wouldn't at all be suprised if he did take a dive.

On the other hand, I wouldn't at all be suprised if it was legit, because liver shots can do that. It just didn't seem all that hard.

It kills me to say this, but a KO of Oscar De La Hoya looks very attractive on the resume of a new recruit of Golden Boy Promotions.

 

teemo,

Spoken like someone who has never been hit with a liver shot...

 

Quit straddling the fence...

 

No doubts about it, Hoya could be hurt but he could have beaten the count, just didn't cause that would mean that he had no chance whatsoever to win the fight and he gave up at that moment. So, yes, as soon as he felt the pain on the side, dived in all the way.

 

I have watched that over and over and over.......almost infinity (to the point where I can hear the dude yellin "body shot, body shot, Oh Oscar, body shot" in my dreams!), but it is fishy as hell and I can not see that being either powerful or clean.

 

you dummafuggers need to look up the definition of the word "dive"

 

He didnt take no damn dive....

That was one of the cleanest body punches in the history of the sport.

 

I said I wouldn't be suprised either way. But I think I made it clear which way I'm leaning.

 

Which hole did the fence post go in?

 

Well I was one of those who originally thought DLH took a dive.

But after seeing a lot of fighters go down from a very similar punch . . . I change my point of view and I won't insist on that now.

Means I still have my doubts but not as strong as it was before. :yep

 

True. Me too I guess because there have been a couple of high profile exact shots this year alone.

 

That pounding the mat seemed a little too WWE...

but to be fair, I have never been liver-punched by Hopkins.
