Bernard Hopkins Becomes 1st Undisputed Champion in 4 belt era | FREE FIGHT | Hopkins vs De La Hoya 

Bud?

the alien

10 years later his still a champion

Casual

It didn’t seem like the commentators were d riding in fact they were talking about de la Hoya looking bad. Me personally it was looking like de la Hoya might’ve won the decision though because Hopkins was doing much in the early rounds.

Well de la hoya was boxing hin better until the knockout lol

De la hoya gave it all fo sho he was best at 147 in his division

@@ishrendon6435 i never liked de la hoya (still don't) but saw this live and felt bad for him.

@marcyfan-tz4wj me neither but he was unbeatable at 130 to 140 he should've stayed and dominated that weightclass he was the best

@@marcyfan-tz4wj no doubt

Why don't you give Hopkins his credit?

De la Hoya wasn't in his prime he was using coke already and didn't have the same discipline as before and he didn't put no rehydration clause like canelo did to Kovalev plus Kovalev two months before facing canelo he fought a tough fight

He gave Kolovev a rehydrate clause which you could clearly see affected him in the fight

Jermell is gonna get starched

@@EugenioRodriguez-rr7nw Huh? This fight was a catchweight even though Oscar had fought at 160lb before, but you're complaining about Canelo jumping up 15lbs straight to the full 175 limit? Also, it was a morning check in not rehydration limit, Kovalev was allowed to rehydrate beyond that and enter the ring at any weight. Meanwhile the fight wasn't even conditional on Kovalev making the check in, he had the freedom to blow it and pay a small percentage of his inflated purse and still walked away with double his largest payday, but Kovalev said he preferred being within 10lbs because he's bloated beyond that and made the same check in for the most of his big fights under the IBF which has the morning check in place for all their fights. The only one at a weight disadvantage was Canelo but people lost the plot. Meanwhile the short notice claim is a flat out phony narrative. Canelo had pushed to fight Kovalev prior in place of Yarde but Kovalev is the one who dismissed it and chose to put it off until afterward, and it was DAZN not Canelo who chose the date because they wanted a month buffer between that fight and Joshua-Ruiz 2 so they'd fall on separate billing cycles. The situation wasn't even optimal from Canelo's end because until Kovalev secured the Yarde win, it was uncertain whether he'd be fighting Kovalev or remain at 160, so not much time to prepare for a massive leap in weight. Kovalev's KO over Yarde proved that he remained capable and dangerous by outboxing and breaking down a young and determined big punching LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT. But people tried to call him washed just because he was tested when Yarde also tested next level hyped Beterbiev. The ridiculous part is Canelo critics gave Beterbiev more praise for beating Yarde coming off of being flattened by Kovalev than to Canelo for knocking out the champ who got the job done. Fact of the matter is that if Beterbiev or Bivol had a win over that version of Kovalev, it would be a top 2 win in their careers at light heavyweight, but somehow the smaller fighter gets no credit even though the only other modern day ex welterweight to become champ at 175 was 6'1 Thomas Hearns? Ridiculous.

Yeah the same thing happened to trinidad when he fought against Hopkins

Just shows how impressive Canelo's victory over Lightheavy Champ Kovalev was, went up from 154 to 175 & KO'D the Champ.... not easy to do at all!

@Saiyan4eva yeah Kovalev he fought a month before facing canelo only have two months to train and canelo put a rehydration clause on him lol

Dela Hoya has 3 inch reach advantage but i do agree, 160 is a little bit too much for Oscar

@@EugenioRodriguez-rr7nwAs did Mayweather so what's your point?

Haney just fought Loma and moving up to 140 to face Regis next. Shakur is being avoided from Loma to Zapeda to Pitbull Cruz etc. Oscar is a All time Great you can't compare the 2 numbnutts.

@blakephilbrook657 occurs matter cause Bernard Hopkins was a great boxer but at the same he use to fought dirty he used to head butt to grab your head while hitting you and hit whit his shoulder

@blakephilbrook657 yea, prob the liver shot, but its hard to tell because he didnt go down right away, he went down after the shot to the head.

@@ryanodonnell4184that’s how liver shots work they’re delayed. When he went down his arms were at his side not holding his head.

Your comment has nothing to do with the video.

@@MrBri0523 it does its boxing and CANELO IS KING OF BOXING 🥊 do you believe??

@@HATEONIT-o5z Give Hopkins his credit.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570 oh your a clown 🤡? Like a mime ? Or one them party clowns ? 😂

Agree

It was a money fight. Oscar lost to Felix Sturm, but the judges gave him the nod so that this fight could happen.

That part

Yep, he fought so many great fights, he was passed his prime in his last several fights.

Credit? 🤦🏾‍♂️
