Nah nikka, B-Hop is always up for the bigger challenge. He did the right thing. He's a man, not a coward.Sad seeing Hopkins go out like that should have fought a legit tomato can and went out victorious
incredible,what a way to finish 2016. seems like he saw Aliens
SInce it's a bad weather out there, he was trynna milk this shyt. Have the shyt in Brooklyn or PA. Naaah, he gotta fukk over his city over a few bills. He looked concussed.
My negga, he was advised to fight Joe Smith by Dan Rafael during breakfast before the 97g-Brook fight. Lampley said it.
How the fukk you gonna take advice from Dan Rafalous during breakfast, when there's food all around for free ? I mean, on anything at all ? It's like taking advice from a alcoholic during St Patrick's day.
Dan Rafalous was probably thinking of ways to sneak out pork sausages and butter biscuits, and how many french toasts can fit in his pocket wihout getting notice.
B-c00n : So, I have 1 more fight. 1 mo. Last fight. I mean, last fight. That's it. I m shutting that door. WHo do you think I should fight ?
Rafalous : *40 more sausages left. If I put 5 in a napkin and and roll em nicely, they won't stain my pockets. Gotcha. Might as well get some of those french toasts too*
*snaps out of it*
Oh yeah, fight Smith
B-c00n : Cool, you can tweet on it now. I m going out with a bang. Excutioner is back. I m an ALien. I will be the first boxer to fight at 51 and come out on top.
Rafalous: Cool. I will let people know. I gotta go get some orange juice. *disappears for 15 mn*
Fast forward to tonight at 0040 AM Dec 18th 2016.
B-c00n: Hey, why u had me fight that guy, Dan. He killed Fonfara. I forgot it was him. It was too late for me to withdraw the contract. Thought it was a regular Joe
Rafalous: Hey, I meant Liam SMith. Not Joe Smith. That guy has heavy hands. I thought u picked him to show your Alien side. I'd never tell you to fight him. Did I ?
B-c00n:
(I'm gonna catch flack for this) I don't think Hopkins was Knocked out,i believe he was trying to use the ropes like he said he was reached for the ropes,it wasnt there and he fell. Still his fault for miscalculating or even being in that position period.
He clearly tries to grab the ropes with his left arm as he was going down
He gets hit by a right,hit by a left
Dude throws another left and then a right (both miss)
He throws another left which seems to partially hit his glove but the force of it sent him out. He was not sleep on the way down

Yea this was my initial thought watching the replays too
You can clearly see him trying to grab the rope with his left on the way down
Ultimately doesn't matter though
yeah this was a slight exposal...usyk faced a good number of stiffs including the guy who he took the belt in glowacki..he looked straight foolish at times but had enough power and size to wear him down.if HBO wants to get behind him and build him up, they might want to scout a little better..usyk also should NOT go to heavyweight or be in a rush to do so...he will get KO'ed by a mid tier heavy never mind a top oneI watched this when I woke up.
Usyk vs Mchunu
- Mchunu is a good fighter but his chin isn't above average and he would need to be more active than that
- Usyk seemed a little stiff to me especially early on, from the third round he gained momentum and got better every round
- Usyk's way of winning is basically outworking and out moving his opponents, which he did ow too. I wouldn't even say his power is that big, his opponents just give in by the barrage of punches. But you can see that Mchunu didn't respect Usyk's power like that in the first few rounds... So Usyk is not in the league of the biggest punchers for me.
- While he moves well I gotta wonder whether he can fight in any other distance than "from the outside" and his defense also not the best, it's not horrible either but he can be touched...
- I don't advise to him to move to HW what he supposedly wants in 2018. Yeah he will probably count even quicker than now there among the biggest guys but his usual size advantage what he has in cw would be gone and those opponents would respect his power even less. I can see him beating the likes of Malik Scott or Eric Molina but I think the top guys like Joshua, Ortiz or Wilder would definitely bomb him out, his defense isn't so good that he could hang with those guys, I think probably even the guys like Browne or Whyte would beat him in hw.
- In cw he can have a long rule though cause he seems like an awkward opponent to anyone but cw is also a good division with many heavy hitters so you can never know...
looks like your feeling on how this fight would end was also correctWow..
