Beautiful day in sunny CT. So this week's classic lump is in tribute to Bernard Hopkins. The man has nothing left to prove, he was a middleweight champ for 10 friggin years! Sadly he probably won't shut it down, but hopefully his does. Let's be honest, he might even win a few more but his fights are never going to be on PPV again, his style is just so not fan friendly. One punch, clinch, one punch, clinch, and he really does not knock anyone out.
However no one can argue about his boxing reign. Just check it out here for yourself.
Before I get to the video highlight I wanted to let you know about some great Amateur boxing coming up to Bridgeport, CT on May 9th, the USA Boxing Olympic Invitational. I saw some fights up there last year and Harbor Yard is a great place to see dukes.
OK so here we go. This punch doesn't look like much but it was a perfectly placed liver shot. Your mind wants to get up off the canvas but your legs have absolutely no interest. You can totally see the frustration in De La Hoya's eyes.

Larry Baby-
Give me a few "MUST HANG THEM UP" old guys. You know, my brain damage picks pay off big. Give me an old geezer who is drooling now and I can parlay that pick into a nice full-house of an exoctic.
Holyfield is the first one that comes to mind. He better shut it down, other wise he is going to have streams down his left leg going into his right shoe...PLAY IT!!!
