We got ole B-hop doing his class.
Paulie and Porter going to look messier than ever.
Quillin underachieving is looking to be a habit but kid better beware.
Another Brit "C" class fight talked about on boxnation like they are world killers...Crolla and Murray
Orlando Cruz trying to get a W for rainbow nation
Not bad really, but I think Paulie/Porter and Hop will be pretty ugly to watch.

If lil Shane fights Paulie the way he did Devon, he beats him bad or might even score a stoppage. Hop will bore us while getting the W. Overall not a bad weekend. It's better than not having anything to watch.

im a big Hopkins guy but im not gonna rip anyone or question their fan-ism if they call Hopkins boring. the Dawson rematch, RJJ rematch, and JT rematch are about as boring as any fights you'll ever see.

I def. respect Hops craft, and how consistent he has been with himself, you can't hate too much a man who loves the sport you love so much he can still compete at 50, that is really unheard off.
With that said, respect and all, a lot of times it comes after the fight, you take everything into account and you have to give the old man his props, so either way you appreciate it, eventually.

I should edit my post and say....anyone who says hes boring...right now.
Ya he's had some stinkers in the past. But even when he does, it contains high levels of craft that is overall missing from the fucking game...if it wasn't missing this mfer wouldn't be fighting at 50...
If I was a fighter, im finding that dude and tryna take some notes.

 i just know Hop is capable of anything. If he held a guy 12 times and got warned each time and the ref said, "1 more time B and I got to disqualify you." Hops next chance wraps his legs around dude. Im waiting for the ole gym move were he ducks and looks up at the lights like something is falling then blasts the dude for flinching and being naive. He has trick we never seen or imagined, but he is capable of anything except getting beat up. If he does it will be sad and someone will likely get hated on.

As of late Hop has been one of the more entertaining fighters P4P. Murat was great. The Pascal fights were great, especially part 2 .

Yeah, I'm cool with him not fighting anyone good if he can put on a show. It started with Ornelas.

...its hard to take them serious as pure boxing fans. That's such a garbage ass statement. Nard has been consistently one of the most boring fighters for two fucking entire decades. He puts on a handful of entertaining fights the past two to three years and now it's hard to take someone seriously if they think he's boring? Man get the fuck out of here with that complete nonsense bullshit.

Fuck that, go down the street and watch 2 hobo's duke it out for a $5 footlong and stop watching boxing. It's the sweet SCIENCE fuckers.

And its cool to love the unskilled brawling. But when you cant enjoy and appreciate the upper level of skill...because blood isn't splattering and dudes aren't hitting the canvas. As I said, cant take that serious. _________________

It's true. The sport is about both. You're gonna have the guys like rios and provo who come in swinging for the fences, and that's ok, but if you can't be a fan of guys to actually box, like hop, floyd, sweet pea, etc, then are you really a fan of the sport of boxing?

I enjoy watching boxers making the upper level talent hit and miss while busting their shit from the outside. Pea-Chavez, Floyd-Gatti/Chico, Hop-Tito (though I didn't really enjoy that one  ) but still the skill displayed was fucking great. Those guys who lost tried their best. But a guy like Shumenov looked either loss or trying to out play Hop in a chess match. That shit sucked. _________________ Your Lineal Middleweight Champion Of The World!!! MIGUEL COTTO!!!!

I'm sorry but Hopkins is fucking boring. I respect the man, all time great and all that. I enjoy watching him do his thing for a few rounds till I can't take it. I don't find the same dirty Shit entertaining especially when he's fighting some bum. I don't care if he's 30, 50, or 100 years old. Fights like that belong on espn. Showtime is fucking up.

I didn't hear anyone say anything about how big that ring was...I don't think I'd ever seen a bigger one. HUGE.
