Not only was Greb not gonna be denied on this one. He wasn't even gonna be denied a Unanimous Decision. When the referee deducted a point from Greb it was obvious he was favoring Hopkins, Hopkins had committed far worse fouls and been given nothing, but a warning. Suspecting the other officials had Hopkins' back the way the ref did, Greb took matters into his own hands in the 15th and dropped Hopkins twice. He was just about to stop him. Thankfully those 2 knockdowns were enough to set the record straight.

Hopkins had Greb right where he wanted him.....over confident.....he just lost track of rounds......he thought it was the 14th round.

Had it gone to the 16th.....it would have been a bad day for Greb.

reluctant and passive aggressive congratulations are due to the winner.

But Hopkins is having none of that.....he's mad at his corner for misinforming him of what round it was.

Always with the excuses. :lol:

Nevertheless a kudos is due to you. Up to this point in the season Greb was 0-1-1 against Hopkins. Once we added in the Championship 13th, 14th and 15th rounds though...well...as they say class tells over time.
