I figure Greb vs Hopkins should've been a draw, but eh it is what it is. Greb being the #1 draft pick has been a letdown of late.

[BoxBuzz]

two very dirty fighters.....Hopkins just brought more dust.

amazing how few fouls were called.

Seems that way. He threw it in the eyes of the judges to get those 2 extra points.

you want some more? Just say the word......

Greb will be looking to get a shot at the MGM Grand Cup or the IBO title next week, but if he can't he'd be down to fight Hopkins a 2nd time.
