Many people felt that Bernard Hopkins should of went into the ring Saturday night and bullied De La Hoya like a bully in elementary school. I give much respect and props to De La Hoya for coming into the ring and not being intimidated by Hopkins size and strength. De La Hoya is a true fighter. I would also like to give much respect and props to Bernard Hopkins. Although Hopkins knew he had the advantage over De La Hoya, Hopkins still went into the ring with caution and not stupidity. As the rounds went on, Hopkins figured out De La Hoya, got comfortable and then went for the kill. At the end of the fight is where I give De La Hoya and Hopkins mucho props and respect. Although Hopkins won the fight, he gave De La Hoya much respect by commenting with sincerity on how good of a fighter De La Hoya was. Also, De La Hoya took his lost like a man and admitted that he could not get up after the punch and had nothing else more to say. Good fight guys!
