    He was the bigger name but Hopkins was the better fighter. Jones knew it and dodged him, which was his right. Every boxer on top knows that you don't go after hungry up and coming fighter as an opponent.
    Now, father time has kicked both of them in the ass. Hopkins won Wednesday but it wasn't the Hopkins of old. And Roy, well, we all know what happened to him.

    Worst decision I have seen in 30+ years of watching boxing.

    Roy just got brutally KOed by Denis Ledbedev in Russia. The KO happened with about ten seconds left in the tenth and final round.

    It seems to be a theme this weekend. Former UFC champion Dan Severn, still fighting at fifty-two, got brutally KOed last night. Severn was going for his 100th win.

    Man, Jones needs to stop before he gets killed. And was it too much to ask the ref to step in before the Russian got that last free shot in?

    I wasn't making a joke. The ref was slow to stop the bout, giving Jones' opponent one last free shot at his noggin.

    It has been reported that Roy owes $3.5 million dollars in taxes.

    Steve Smoger has always been one to let fighters take a beating.
    I've always felt it was bullshit, but most fighters do not want a fight to be stopped as long as they're standing. A lot of fans feel ripped off if a fight is stopped when a guy is on his feet, too.

    Wow, that was some kind of parting shot. And those Russians were acting like the guy just knocked out Ali in his prime. Ugh.

    Ledbedev even looked at the ref for a second before he threw the punch, as if to say, "You're really letting this continue?"
