Did you watch the last 5 rounds? He is 43.
And is really pretty much a bore now.

Hopkins v. Hopkins:

Round 1-12 no one throws a punch and they hug.
Kinda like a threesome between Morton, Moss, and
Premature Smoldering.

Yeah, I watched all 12 rounds of this fight, where he lost a close split decision to one of the best fighters in the world, and his two previous fights, the ones where he beat a guy who was considered one of the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world, and dominated the top fighter in a new weight class for him at the time. So, considering the results, I'd say he's doing something to win.

I find it interesting to watch him use his experience, toughness and smarts to find ways to win at age 43. And I respect the fact that he's still in great shape physically and mentally, and would never tell him to hang it up, even on a horsey board.

Of course, I'm no expert, like say a teacher from Texas or something.
