117-110 Hopkins

LOL smoger pushing him off

Lmao Murat threw like 3 lowblows in a row at the end and then somewhat headbutts Hopkins to get his mug off and Smoger looks angry and shoves Murat's face.

he kinda threw a headbutt at B-Hop at the bell and Smoger shoved him

117-110 Hopkins...that 12th round was kinda close.

I could see 116-111 or 118-109 Hopkins as well.

Doubt it's gonna be any closer than that on any of the official cards.

Blodhemn, you are like a whiny little girl. You hate american fighters. Yeah we know. You act like its 1 way dirty traffic in this fight. Please. Murat hit him twice on the ground, 3 times off the break and at least 3 times in the balls and you're whining like a little bitch.

He didn't come off as being an impartial referee doing that.

Wow. Finally someone out-dirtied Hopkins

I think reasonably.. it's between 119-108 Hopkins and 115-112 Hopkins. Anything outside of that would be peculiar.

You are right but it seems like Hopkins always brings it out of his opponents.

Diddy, u mad. Hopkins looked like crap against Cleverly's leftovers.

He didn't come off as impartial most of the night. It was definitely one of the more unprofessional performances I've seen from Smoger who I think is one of the very best referee's in the sport.

Wow that Corona girl next to B-Hop is smoking.

119-108 GTFO

He didn't look like crap at all, he looked pretty damn good. He's just 48 years old, you're bound to lose a little something at that age. The fact that he's still able to win Championship Fights at that age is astonishing.

Smoger was terrible there - shouldn't be pushing Murat around like he did

Love the rack on the ring card girls.

With each additional statement you sound like a bigger idiot.

The Corona ring girl A-team can hang with any chicks out there, period.

He definitely got a lot overzealous there. That was probably the most unprofessional moment of his whole career.

"Did he bring out the best in you?"

"Not really"

Yeah bro, this will go down as one of Hopkins' greatest wins. Karo Murat rocking him around.

diddy, you really are passionate over your boring american fighters.

I had it 116-111 for Hopkins.

Fun fight...........don't usually get to say that after a BHop fight but this one was fun.

Unlike Hopkins last opponent Murat came to win............too bad he's a club-fighter who was in over his head.
How did he become a mandatory challenger for a major belt?

Since Hops is 48 this is a good win for him but Murat would be a waste of time for Kovolev or Stevenson.

Again I ask: Why was Murat in the ring tonight?
