Pavlik vs Hopkins

[Jake]

Sounds like Kelly is getting his ass kicked. Haven't seen that before, and didn't expect it tonight.

 

[BuckBackHome]

punch-punch-hug is a typical b-hop fight.

I miss Tyson's early fights.

Ty[pcapmB Hop decision win,.

Kelly needs to knock him out to win. Pretty much over poor kid still has a long career ahead of him though.

"a little bad blood at the end there..."

Newsflash: B-hop doesn't like white people, I am shocked.

Good fight by hopkins though.

Way to go B Hip that bitch shit

 

[BuckBackHome]

Now I remember why boxing annoys me so much. Between Hopkins staring down the media and Pavlik's corner talking trash after the fight.

Is your keyboard broke?

 

[BuckBackHome]

Well, at least Hopkins had some good advice for Pavlik.

Meh, I will say this, B-Hop is probably the smartest boxer I have ever seen. His fights aren't really exciting, but he knows how to win, and what it takes to win, so respect there... now, that being said.

If Kelly came out and said "I will never lose to a black man" what would that be taken as? Yet, Hopkins came on the Jim Rome show when this fight was announced and said "I will never lose to a white boy" yet somehow justified it to mean something else?

Just my thoughts, grats to the old guy, maybe he'll finally go away, Kelly, you need to recover and get back on track.

Fights and fight styles like what Hopkins employs is why Boxing is a dying sport.

Problem #1 is you were listening to Jim Rome, who, I'm sure, was all over Hopkins nuts in the interview....

Problem #2 is exactly as you said it - if Pavlik says anything near that, he's an outcast and pariah immediately.

Just my thoughts, grats to the old guy, maybe he'll finally go away, Kelly, you need to recover and get back on track.

Kelly will, I'm sure. If he crumbles after this fight, the entire "Pride of Youngstown" stuff was just crap. I don't believe it is, but we'll see....

In a sane world you'd have a point - racism is racism - but in PC America there is no such thing as a black racist. :ohwell:

He said the same exact thing before his fight with Calzaghe and got beat FWIW
