WOW! What is hopkins doing this for?

would be funny is Hopkins get KOed in that tune-up

 

Im a big b-hop fan but i don't wana see this fight. I was hoping that we would eventually see a hopkins johnson rematch. There styles wud make for a gud fight. It wud be kinda of funny if danny green beat jones and maybe then if johnson was to beat dawson the fight would happen.

 

I watched Ornales/Rubio a few times prior to Pavlik/Rubio. I thought there was something wrong with my computer. Surely they weren't THAT much slower than Kelly were they? They were. Kelly toyed with Rubio making him miss with upper body movment and head movement. Yeah. That's right. Kelly did that with Rubio. The guy that beat Ornales for his shot at Pavlik. When I can see it, it is VERY obvious.

 

ornelas aint not punk....and even in his tko loss he got robbed....i remember that **** clearly...raul caiz jr stopped that fight too early.......
and all his decision losses have been bull**** too.....enrique is actually a really good fighter

 

I don't think his loss to Rubio was bull at all. The point is he ain't in Hopkin's league at all.

 

I hope Hopkins suffers a nasty cut and has to cancel the Roy Jones fight.

 

man he did way more than rubio.....and plus, ornelas would've put up a better performance against pavlik....

 

Well, you ignored the point and after having watched it several times, I don't think there was a nickel's worth of difference between the two in that fight myself. Maybe my impression was swayed by Steward saying Rubio was throwing the 'crispier' punches.

 

steward didn't even know which one was which...hahahaahahaha

 

I think he should be fighting Dawson; I think Dawson would take the fight; it sucks it isn't happening. But he's fought 6 quality fights opponent-wise in a row (Winky a question given the weight) and is looking to cash out at 44 - pretty easy to cut that situation some slack.

No, it's not a worthwhile event and nobody will watch it. Big deal. It's a stay-busy, he's not a title holder, this isn't that different from other tune up situations. I wouldn't be surprised if the RJJ/Green fight magically falls through, either.

But if you don't see a difference between Hop's scenario and Sturm's string of poor defenses or, say, Volero's for that matter, you're blind.

 

The level of idocy on this site never ceases to amaze me. Now if Hopkins decided to sit on the sidelines and not fight until the Jones fight, no one would care. So why the **** would you complain about him taking an interim bout? I'm glad he's taking this fight. Ornelas will give him some good work. I can now go see this fight live without spending a fortune. Did I also mention that he's donating his entire purse to charity? As far as Jones, he agreed to the Green bout before he came to terms with Hopkins. He's getting paid $4 mill for that fight so there's no way in hell he would pull out. You have to be a complete jackass to criticize a 44 year old fighter for taking a tune up bout where he's donating his purse to charity and putting on an affordable show for the good people of Philly who have supported him since day one. The threadstarter is ignorant and should be ashamed of himself for getting on a fighter who's actually doing right by the sport.

 

He can't even fight Dawson as he has a fight scheduled for Nov.

 

its just a tuneup fight. no reason to complain. Better active than inactive.

 

First thing that popped into my head.
