He was ranked in the Top 10 I believe by most observers and he was the IBF mandatory. He put up a good effort.

Because Murat's a german legend. Everyone is a winner. Everyone is great, it's only a matter of what order of greatness you come in.

I had no problem with the commentary, I agree Steve Smoger seemed to favor Hopkins quite a bit. His shoving Murat at the end of the bout...I've never seen anything like that from a referee.

I think Steve Smoger is a great referee and has done a great job repeatedly in his career, but this was definitely not one of his shining moments.

He's certainly no legend, but he seemed to be a legit contender and fought like one. I wonder how a 48 year old Ezzard Charles or Archie Moore would've done against Murat tonight?

Nobody is saying that Murat didn't give his best effort............we're just saying his best isn't very good............and that is being polite to Murat.

He was an IBF mandatory. So you have the ABC org's to thank for that sh*t.

I think he gave a legitimately game effort. He wasn't on the level of Hopkins, but he came to win.

I've definitely seen far worse title fights and challengers.

I wish all title challengers tried as hard as Murat. Almost all of them bring more skill to try with but too many of them show up for a check not a belt.

You cant decipher what "your ass is brown" means? It means you are full of sh*t, even the whites of your eyeballs are turning brown. Remember when you claimed to be American in response to all your anti-american BS you spew on here? Bro, you dont even have to open your cyber-mouth, one look alone at your SN and you clearly are not american. Why would you lie to faceless internet caricatures in regards to your nationality? I guess that's your not so subtle way of masking/defending your hatred and racism. Piss poor. Do better.

I do know what his screen name means, and it doesn't necessarily indicate that he isn't American at all, I said, astonished that I'm defending blodhemn.

Just 1 point off from my scores on both. I have no problem with those scores.

I had 86-84 Quillin and 117-110 Hopkins respectively.

Sounded like they took the Ultimate Warrior's WWF Theme Music, puked on it, and did Satanic chants in it.
