That's a good action fight to show people who think Hopkins was always a safety first guy. Mercado put up a hell of a fight during their 1st meeting but after the beating that he took in the rematch, he was done as a boxer.

Watched this fight last night. I scored it 114-112 for Hopkins.

It was a nice and heated fight, and Hopkins was unlucky as he wasn't awarded a knockdown in the 1st and I think somewhere between the 4th-6th, Mercado slipped no worse than Hopkins did for the 2nd knockdown that was ruled against him.

How about when Mercado was holding onto the ropes...so much so that the ref had to literally pick him up and pry him away!

Yes I remember that as well. Dead on his feet and hanging on.

I found it funny when watching the rematch last night, and they mentioned how Hopkins said something about not winning in his first fight probably saved him his life, lol.

He also said he was a little psyched out in the first fight when armed soliders were kicking doors down and armed entering rooms before the fight, as that was the security they had over there.

Same as with Echols. No safety first in that one!
