Doc, I see your point. However, your rather nieve about the sport of boxing if you don't think money and politics had nothing to do with what happend tonight. It's not the fighters, your right. It's not the judges either, it's the sport of boxing.
Sturm isn't a big draw, and setting up a fight for Sept 18th where a minimum of 55 million dollars with be dispersed among 2 of the greatest fighters ever. What is one of the biggest fights in the last 25 years, is now a laughing stock. Everyone stands to make ALOT less money, and rightfully so. If you think politics had nothing to do with that, your a fool. I'm sorry.
As far as Hopkins, he was typical Hopkins. Mentally strong, that's all he is. That's how he beats oppenents. He played it easy, smart, and went out there and did exactly what he was supposed to do. Win. Unlike his counterpart.
