Bernard"The Alien" Hopkins (54-6-2(32 KO) successfully defended his IBF light heavyweight title against an opponent he picked for himself Karo Murat from Germany. I mean he picked up an European level fighter to defend his world title... Anyway Hopkins won the fight by unanimous decision 119-108, 119-108, 117-110. I agree that Hopkins was right to change his nickname from the Executioner to the Alien. I mean what kind of executioner he is if he can't knock out anyone for almost 10 years. He was unable even to knock down Karo Murat during this fight. The alien is much better for him, cause it looks like the rules from Earth do not apply for this person in the ring.
I mean he is the most dirty and
unentertaining fighter I ever saw in my life. I can say he clinched his
way to the victory last night. It wasn't the most boring show that
Hopkins produced. No, he is capable of producing much more boring
fights, at least this time he did something to entertain people and that
was his behavior inside the ring. Old man lost all what was left of his
beaten head. I mean in the second round he hit Murat with a hook to the
body from the back when referee already said "break". It is such a
shame to hit someone from behind, it is even worse then Mayweather who
knocked Victor Ortiz out when he was going for apology with his hands
down, and referee even didn't say "box" after there clinch.
All 12 rounds was a boring fight with a
lot of clinches, if you saw round 1 then you saw all the fight. Hopkins
was faster and much more experienced fighter. He connected more and was
able to escape being hit. He used his boring tactics of straight right
hand and clinch for all night. There were so many clinches that it was
more a wrestling match than a boxing match...
