Not online but in todays Daily Mirror. Looks like Bhops is not content with his racist jibes against JC but has now thrown his nephew Demetrius (together with his fiancee and six year old son) out his apartment. Now Demetrius saying he has not agreed to the contest and "The man kicked me out of his apartment. He didn't show me any loyalty so why should I show him any?"
He can come live with me and the wife and kids in the attic. I have a sofa bed and plenty of sheets as well as colour tv (4 channels) and fridge. It does get a bit nippy this time of year but that will only improve his mental fortitude.
Does it matter if it is in the Mirror ? Yes why not jump on Bhops ? He kicks his own nephew out for being 2 weeks behind on rent. I have had tennants 4 weeks behind and I have given them time to pay up without kicking them out (and they were not even related to me). Here similar story but without the negative slant on Bhops. http://www.sportinglife.com/boxing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=boxing/08/02/08/manual_200105.html Here ESPN story with the Bhops angle. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3235817 Hopkins, 27, said that his uncle threw him, his 6-year-old son and fiancée out of an apartment they rented from him in Philadelphia because he was two weeks late with the rent. Demetrius Hopkins said it was a mistake that happened because he was in the process of changing banks, not because he was short of money. "The man kicked me out of his apartment," Demetrius Hopkins said. "He kicked me, my son and my fiancée out [in November]. He didn't show me any loyalty so why would I show him any? Yeah, I was two weeks late. I was switching bank accounts. He could have told me to pay a late fee. It's not like I didn't have the money. It's not even that he kicked me out. But when you kick my son out, then you got a problem with me. If you don't care about my son, you don't care about me.
Thats a good option, can you invite Ruiz round and put him in your attic as well. Lets rid the world of boring fighters by putting them in your attic. Good thing is that you can earn £4,250 tax free under the rent a room scheme.
So you've heard BHops version of events have you? Look at it the other way. Hopkins gave him a roof up until recently & has also got him a WBC title shot. I suppose it's easier to gloss over those bits & believe the comics soap opera take on things though ay?
Well if he can do all that then why not let his nephew stay in the apartment for a few more weeks and let him pay the rent off or does his buddy Oscar need an apartment where he can try on womens underwear.
I am sure there are enough people on the forums who would all chip in to pay for you to keep the likes of Ruiz locked up.
What is happening with the Witter v Hopkins fight - is it still going ahead on 22nd March? Its been reported that Hopkins is saying he hasn't agreed to this fight. Who would be a suitable replacement as an opponent for Witter (APART FROM HATTON)?
He should fight Ricky Ha..... Oh right, sorry. How about Ricado Torres? Maybe a rematch with Harris, only this time let him have some lunch money, and give the poor guy a lift to the gym.
i Wouldnt mind seeing Witter vs Njogudo (sp?) think he was awfully unlucky against both Castillo and Paulie. Was Witter vs Hopkins supposed to be on the undercard of Katsidis vs Casamayor? :yep
