Hopkins vs. Lipsey KO

One of Bernard Hopkins' few big KO wins.

[@SmelOdies]

Career ender, and even more-Joe Lipsey walked into that ring with a 25-0 record, 20 KOs.

[@humboldtus]

Saw this fight on ABC. What a shame the networks don't show boxing anymore. Hopkins is my favorite fighter.

[@MahlTalkNetwork]

right uppercut, right, left, left, right....mean ass combination!!!!!!

[@MoveTowardsTheLight]

Froze his ass with that power lmao.

[@SmelOdies]

First of all, I attended Bernard's last two fights live, so I'd say I have plenty of respect for him. As far as the power last-to-go thing, this can be true of some fighters, but it's this is canard boosted heavily by Foreman-Moorer (and Moorer had a pushbutton chin). In Bernard's case, I truly believe he would have iced today's Taylor and Tarver with sheer power ten years ago. For an old man, he moves incredibly well.

[@Raydeeds]

Watching a tough fighter get ruined with one combination is a fearful thing. This was when B-Hop was the Executioner, before he became Bore-Hop.

[@benaiahwright937]

The porter way podcast brought me here.

[@Bad616]

joe lipsey was 24-0 coming into this fight and they called him a good up in coming fighter he never fought again after this

[@popoff1337]

out of all the ko's ive seen thats a first i seen guys twitching ,straight out cold trying to get up no legs ... but never somone knocked out on there feet

[@giniota]

I'm really fed up to read those types of comments on Hopkins!! If you don't know a shit about boxing then shut your mouth!! Hopkins should be an inspiration for every boxing fans. He had every thing a boxer needs to be a champion: good balance, amazing footwork, good jab, power (in both hands), great defense (0 cut, never been knocked out in 55 fights!!!!). This fighter is a MASTER of the sport. Now he's old but definitively deserves all the respect!! FACT

[@KazPIII]

Lot of people don’t know Joe Lipsey was battling undiagnosed Graves’ disease… a great dude… but he struggled through at least two of his previous fights… two warriors 😎

[@LoganCharlesII]

Saturday afternoon boxing on a major network....aaaah, the good ole days!

[@leodungen]

this b-hop would mopped the floor with calzaghe

[@SmelOdies]

Definitely true, and Bernard is my favorite fighter. However, he earned some criticism for having promised to knock Taylor out in the rematch. I went down to Vegas expecting a much more aggressive Bernard. However, did show the keener accuracy and kept the fight interesting with pinpoint shots.

[@EICM1975]

thanks

[@mab999]

wow, Hopkins Lipsey was undeated. Hopkins ended quite a few careers in his time, beating undefeated opponents.

[@illyrian4life]

hopkins has to be one of the smartest fighters of all time.

[@illyrian4life]

you are absolutely right brother.

[@Keleneki]

I saw Bernard Hopkins live in Las Vegas when he fought Jermain Taylor the first time. I thought he won the fight, but it was a close decision that didn't go his way.

[@SoJuDaMaN]

amen, brother

[@MAMP]

brutal!!

[@assmunchtube]

Damn!

[@95854748]

Kewl. Ring did a thing on Lipsey? What did it say about him?

[@kforcer]

Ring had Lipsey as a top 5 middleweight, I think, at least top 10, at the time of this fight.

[@emphyrean]

Well Roy did break a man's rib with a body shot KO! Both fighters are great in my opinion.

[@SmelOdies]

I'll have to go to the videotape, but as I recall that O'Grady's "...has proved that he's got a solid chin" at the beginning of the CLIP refers to Lipsey.

[@kforcer]

That wasn't Sean O'Grady.

[@Robstailey]

hopkins wasn't a KO artist, but he's the only guy to knock out trinidad and the only one to put de la hoya down for 10.

[@macamo9991]

B Hops' power is in his technique and accuracy. That was a textbook uppercut, thrown right where lipsey never saw it. Froze him, already out.

[@pearcemark2]

@jessejay777 It's a shame how some people always bust on B-Hop for his biggest fights being smaller guys, but then those same assholes worship Hagler. His biggest fights were former lightweights and welterweights Hearns, Duran, and Leonard. But he gets endlessly praised while Hopkins gets shit on. Sad.

[@marvel1978]

That comment proves that you live up to your nickname.

[@EICM1975]

What ever happen to lipsey after this fight??

[@ManchesterTechGuy]

Bernard was a great fighter in his prime. Better than Roy IMO.

[@im_cold_blooded]

I'll repeat that for you. NEVER CUT. Even in his early years when he was an aggressor. Gotta love bhop.

[@mhakeyhaughton]

Guy in yellow shirt v guy in white shirt (Tyson v Frazier) WHO WINS?

[@makpak]

guy come out of prison. makes a name for himself in the world. earns great money. becomes an all time great. is an icon of the game... at the age of 46 when most are well past their prime and have retired my man is still in the game doing his thing. and you guys complaining about a guy who did all this when he wasnt expected too. give hima break.

[@ironfist77]

B-Hop

[@uglybabashouse2]

You could easily put ray leonard there too

[@SmelOdies]

There's still a chance to see Calazaghe and Hopkins... at 175...

[@SmelOdies]

@Apollo Spade They read that post and made the fight.

[@trackandfieldarchive]

@MrZevv umm he is still a match. He beat Pascal and won the light heavyweight title, spanked Kelly Pavlik arrguably beat Calzaghe. Until the Dawson fiasco he was top 10 ranked pound for pound, I'd say he is a match. Jones is washed up, no question, but B-Hop is still beating up young bucks.

[@im_cold_blooded]

@BooRikkaaa101 I personally like Toneys shoulder roll a bit better. Mayweather is a better counter puncher off the roll though.

[@joeytrimble]

i believe he was then ko'd by retirement

[@Hollysprt]

IM GONNA BE THE BEST

[@SmelOdies]

Sadly, he's displaying power he just doesn't have anymore. In Bernard's case, his legs outlasted his pop.

[@mongoose704]

Calzaghe won, fair and square. But why diminish his wins by diminishing his opposition? He beat two legends.

[@IceveinsProductions]

Lipsey never fought again after this. He was a good fighter and a hell of an amateur too.

[@mab999]

This Young B-Hop would have done Calzaghe over, i have to admit. Shame Calzaghe wasted his years fighting nobodies, and only waited to fight the Legends when they were passed it

[@PhflyDan1]

DEMOLISHED

[@sergelapelle]

Reminds me of McLellan knocking out Julian Jackson

[@Mrgood189]

lol bernards the man joe calz gonna get it.... yo the ref od'd he shouldve stoped it and not let bernard get that last punch off this guy was efing done

[@im_cold_blooded]

@2strong2cool Best in terms of what? sure, he's smarter and has more tricks of his sleeve, but best is subjective depending on the style. The BEST version of hopkins (to compete against Calzaghes style) would have been a the younger, stronger, faster, more aggressive fighter. The Older, smarter, more TECHNICAL fighter that Calzaghe beat, would always lose thanks to low activity and a worse tank.

[@svmsung321]

i reckon calzaghe will win but i completely agree with on the fact that this comment is about as smart as a used tampon

[@2strong2cool]

@wukillah92 a am a boxer

[@Spiegelo]

You're crazy. I like your videos but you don't seem to have enough respect for b-hop. They say power is the last thing to go. He's a smart economical fighter who holds back for the right moment, but you can't ignore the power he displayed in his recent knockouts. Even in his fight with Tarver 2 classes up he displayed enough power to put Tarver on the run.

[@cones2005]

roy was better in his prime than hopkins, no question

[@YakiKadafi90]

after dis lipsey never fought again, Bernard reitred him.. n lipsey was 25-0 coming in

[@wukillah92]

@2strong2cool dont ever mention or talk about boxing again until you pass away. i will pray for you and i hope you live long and happily, but do not associate yourself with boxing, your comments are derogatory and bare so sense what so ever

[@jdwc1043]

Tarver IS a fraud.

[@MrZevv]

Hopkins is a dirty Fighter... never seen anyone using his head more then his fist. He should stay where he came from. And now with 46 he sstill thinks he is a match to the worlds best boxers.. lmao .. same as Jones.. they never seen when its over.

[@emphyrean]

I agree and I'm black! Get off the racism shit, please!
