Bernard Hopkins spares reporter from getting his ass whooped!

[@kalprao]

You never tell a professional boxer that he "took a whopping" even if he did . That's very disrespectful and not an intelligent remark to say

[@godisgood9720]

This was classless in my opinion, a very petty reaction by bhop to a comment he didnt like. To insult a mans income, education, and occupation in that fashion over a comment that you overheard wasnt necessary or really warranted. But bhop is human, i am too, this to me was an emotional reaction that was unbecoming of him. Im guilty of having done the same

[@makaveli3189]

@@godisgood9720 Agreed. And if you actually watch the Kovalev Hopkins fight, he got his ass WHOOPED from bell to bell. Don’t care what anybody says. Kovalev was superb in that fight….

I caught a 2nd hand ass whooping just watching this

He has such a great mind. One of those people I really enjoy hearing him speak

[@joystickcasaa8148]

Great mind but not great ears, when the guy obviously said"the biggest weapon you took it away"

Benard is a "pseudointellectual", A person who pretends to be of greater intelligence than he or she in fact is...while lacking knowledge. B-hop is a punk LOL.

That reporter must be decent, for Bernard to tell the guy he is getting shorted in life.

How does how much money you make have anything to do with how succesful a person is?

[@magnusamoris9241]

Same as a successful gambler and a none successful gambler there are winners and losers some make it some don't some do it for a living some are losers you win some you lose some successful people only lose some winners never quit a little secret losers at there last breath of life will regret the what ifs. B-Hop is an Alpha male talking to a reporter an omega. B-Hop is a successful Aphla male who got dissrespected. Hes an alpha male who taught a young fool some respect you can about life like its a game, a mission , adventure, business, experience or a miserable punishment that you have to live out. Oh this reply is for the person who asked about money life and success. I hope this reply successfully answers ur question and I hope you have a successful relationship ❤ sounds like ur talking about happiness and love is a successfull life well it is a success we all look at things differently and talk differently talk about life differently And most of the slang talk we don't understand street words code words we all different with different opinions trust me the world doesn't need to hear it every opinion people will think ur annoying any ways happy new year Smart Ass! And learn some Respect! Arshole! Hope I have you a life lesson you can remember for the rest of ur life and teach to ur kids and grandkids pce be with you. 😉 lol ♥

[@tracyp218]

right Bernard Hopkins is the man 👌😂💪

[@strongcloud28]

He was just a young guy trying to make a name for himself by being aggressive and "asking the hard questions". maybe he will be better for it, maybe not. But B-hop, let him know in a nice way that he could have given him the two-piece-and-a-biscuit.

[@ndt7379]

I mean, he could have put his hands on the reporter and immediately lost every lawsuit said reporter would have put on him. This may work when you're a random person on the street scaring another random person on the street, but a professional technically celeb position like this doesn't play out like high school. The moment he swings on anyone they own a big chunk of his cash. That two-piece-and-a-biscuit would have turned into millions of dollars.

Eh, he is more assertive than that. He seems like a pretty chill guy until he gets in the ring. I wish all boxers would show more class in interviews like that.

[@richotero7192]

Well put sir

[@ljvue]

More like assertive.

And this is one of the many reasons why I love Bernard Hopkins. If you want to learn about the sport of boxing just listen to Mr. Hopkins.

[@atulofau9006]

and his headbutt

[@richotero7192]

Bernard is very articulate. I became a fan of his after hearing him talk so real

[@victorsr6708]

Rich Otero you ever meet him in person? The guy is a prick and full of himself. I’m not hating just stating a fact.

[@victorsr6708]

Rich Otero bro how did he articulate the difference between a whooping and a beating he never explained it. He switched the topic and went to ask how many degrees the reporter had and how much he makes a year. Then he went onto telling him that he wasn’t successful. Bhop served time in prison who the hell is he to judge anyone?

[@richotero7192]

Thank you for ur reply.

[@GFNY0328]

He's articulate to dumb people.

[@KevinSheedy10]

Not really. He talks with confidence. The reporter could probably tie him in knots intellectually but if he did BHop would get violent.

[@winycityfightfan]

I thought he said "the biggest weapon he took away"

[@BeeHash]

What? That makes zero sense. His degree is worthless because he doesn't know the difference between a whooping and a beating? Huh?

[@IKRAMGG]

ooh shit lmaoo the reporter took a whooping!!

[@brandonhayes4786]

He said the biggest weapon, you took it away. Not whooping.

[@christophersmith3254]

so.... he took a beating?

[@john7360]

How much do you make a year ignorant?

He always lies. He rasist, no white boy will ever beat me . Asleep outside the ring on floor like a fool. But u let him tell him it's my condition. Ok

I'm pretty sure the reporter said "the biggest weapon you took it away" This is why it's so important to speak sharp and clear, like a man. Don't mumble or mutter like a scared female.

[@masteryofsavagery]

Damn you right lol I was wondering what he was saying didn't sound right now it makes sense, that makes it even funnier 😂 he was so scared he didn't even try to correct him

[@CHRISTIANNWO]

That reporter was later adopted by Bernard Hopkins

Facts but gotta give credit to the reporter for keeping it real that sht takes balls to admit that about yourself especially in the open

honestly i havnt watch bernard hopkins fights, but since he stud up to mafia representing media, i will now and i go for hopkins

[@mmarioescareno]

“The biggest weapon you took it away” I thought that’s what the reporter said. Even after several plays I don’t hear “whooping” also whooping isn’t a word normally used. I think it’s a misunderstanding of the question

Honestly Idk if he said “biggest whooping” I thought he said “biggest weapon and u took it away”.

Yeah, just has a massive ego. Lacking in class too.

[@stevetrivago]

Dude was like 50 when he fought kovalev… Some people just don’t belong in sports

[@makaveli3189]

Normally I agree with Hopkins but let’s be honest, Kovalev whooped his ass bell to bell (not to any fault of his own, the man was damn near 50 yrs of age!). With that being said, it was unnecessary for Hopkins to insult his education, intelligence, income, and basically diminishing his entire life’s work. Pettiness at its finest.

whooping.......Weapon?? 49 year old boxer, .....hearing

[@georgevincent1834]

He found out Hopkins is as good with his wit as his fists. B-Hop...Legend !!

[@guywilliams6569]

I mean the definition of words, especially silly words like whooping, that's not like something that is factual, it's an opinion, so Hopkins taking an opinion so personally, from somebody he clearly doesn't respect, means that nothing reporter has more power over Hopkins than he wants him to have, too bad... And being reporter is a great job, especially compared to a boxer who gets his brains beaten and who ends up sounding like Hopkins does today and 90% of the fighters

[@japsley6172]

[@olmec9]

Reporters say some dumb shit when none of them have been in a fight, pro, amateur, sparring or street. Some of them never even got their ass whooped by their parents. Rather like referees and judges who have no experience. Boxing and mma is turning into a joke. If you attend a kickboxing, karate, judo or jiu jitsu tornament you cant find a journalist, ref, or judge who didnt fight themselves. To many fan boys with an opinion and not an experience.

[@HatovimLeTayis]
