fans are booing but I don't know what they expected from Hopkins, who is playing his super-technical game

whoa, Jones hit Hopkins on the back of the head - there's a stoppage while the doctors check H out
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:02 (fourteen years ago) link
point deduction from Jones, Hopkins still recovering

WHOA BRAWL

post-stoppage, Hopkins charges - there's ten seconds left in the round - total past-the-bell flailing
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:05 (fourteen years ago) link
its turned nasty?

hah a boring fight then the bell goes and hopkins starts to fight?

well now we're back to tactician staring contest - whole 20-second circling-without-punching parts

boxing!

(nb the stoppage was a temp stoppage while hopkins recovered from a blow to the back of the head)
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:09 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah J0rd I'm into tactics but there's seriously LOADS of just head-fakes & stances in this fight - it's like dance - kinda rad, but after round 6 you kinda want more of that
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link
wow - hopkins hits jones on the back of his head, on purpose - doesn't get caught - jones retaliates - hopkins to his knee again, both fighters lose a point
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:12 (fourteen years ago) link
wait, no, no points deducted - ref instructs both fighters "you both fouled so I'm not taking points"
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:13 (fourteen years ago) link
another foul - low blow by jones - this is getting boring

who is gonna win?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:26 (fourteen years ago) link
hopkins by decision
a dull decision
that's what happens two minutes from now
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:29 (fourteen years ago) link
well?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 4 April 2010 04:38 (fourteen years ago) link

you know, he could only fight with one hand due to a shoulder injury, and knocked him out with a beauty. Audrey has more heart than anyone thought he did so well done to him.
cheers for the youtube onimo. That was an awesome punch i forgot to watch the fight.

it doesn't happen often, but endings to fights like that makes me love boxing even more.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 10 April 2010 16:17 (fourteen years ago) link
He might well have but for me he hasn't shown it enough since turning pro. Too many poor fights against poor opponents you'd expect him (based on his early career) to sweep aside.
Sprott looked capable of taking him out again last night and as a rule he doesn't really take anyone out.

not just for you, everyone would agree with you.

I watched the Ordinary Harrison fight, he was fucking terrible and why he doesn't retire right now christ only knows. There are no title-holders in that division that he's got the slightest chance of getting a result over.

Some great fights tonight. Almost PPV worthy I think. Bute-Miranda and Pavlik-Martinez. HBO. Good time to be a boxing fan. Very little chance these will be dull matches.

wicked uppercut from Bute

Wilmer Flores Trosel, CICPC director, has announced that lightweight world champion Edwin Valero admitted guilt in the murder of his wife early this morning in Valencia, Venezuela. According to police, Mrs. Valero had three stab wounds on different parts of her body. The wounds were not deep and police didn’t find a knife or razor in the room. Investigators hypothesize that the crime occurred during a fight. The couple had checked into the hotel at around 11:30PM last night. At about 5:30AM, Valero went to the hotel lobby and confessed to hotel staffers, who called police. Valero was taken into custody without incident.

i mean, it really seems like his hand speed had declined badly since the seconf taylor fight
he did look really slow, slow to defend also as reflected by the blood pouring out of his face the last 4 rounds

Mayweather - Mosley: is this gonna be as one-sided as it looks?
― Daily Sport Stunna Yasmin Alibhai Brown (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 1 May 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
think so
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 1 May 2010 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah me too, but it's free over here so I'm tempted to try and stay up for it. Still pissed off with Mayweather for fucking up the Pacquiao fight tho.
― Daily Sport Stunna Yasmin Alibhai Brown (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 1 May 2010 20:14 (fourteen years ago) link
all the actually-in-the-sport guys I know are actually giving Shane more than a puncher's chance. If he can get inside, he can win. Mayweather's defense is great & he's smart enough to use it to win a fight when he needs to.
I guess we didn't talk about Edwin Valero's suicide here - dude was a world-class asshole, there can't really be any doubt, but he was also an exciting fighter who brought 100% of his game into the ring when he fought; it's a pretty big loss to the sport imo

I haven't seen enough of Valero to talk about him as a boxer. That whole story was just so tragic and futile that it didn't feel like there was much to be said.
Still awake so far. Watch me nod off just as the big fight starts.
