• Hopkins makes history, while Dawson wins on the undercard – May 23rd, 2011

  Bernard Hopkins made history last Saturday night by becoming the oldest man to ever win a boxing world championship at age 46. Facing Jean Pascal for the second time in six months, Hopkins used a good jab, an effective lead right and solid defense to win a unanimous decision. The victory puts Joel M (6-0-1) in the driver's seat for the league championship. Jean Pascal's loss is the first for Bryn's The Girl's Team (3-1-1). Hopkins earns 2 pts, while Pascal gets -1. On the undercard, Chad Dawson moved to 30-1 with a 12-round decision win over Adrian Diaconu. Dawson used solid boxing skills to beat the tough Canadian fighter. Dawson earns 2 points for Joel B's squad. STANDINGS 1st.........Joel M 6-0-1, 0 KO.....1.43 avg 2nd........Jon O 8-1, 7 KO.........1.33 avg 3rd........Mark 5-1, 2 KO..........1.50 avg 4th........Joel B 5-1, 2 KO..........1.08 avg 5th.......Jay 5-1-1, 2 KO.........0.93 avg 6th.......Bryn 3-1-1, 2 KO........1.20 avg 7th.......BWhit 5-2-1, 2 KO.........0.56 avg 8th......Andrew 2-1, 1 KO............0.67 avg 9th.....Twomey 3-2, 1 KO...........0.70 avg

• Bernard Hopkins vs. Roy Jones Jr. – October 7th, 2011

  Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. were bitter rivals who are bitter rivals no more. Their careers have followed different trajectories, and while Hopkins is still on the ascendant, Jones is treading water. They fought twice, and their second fight, in June 2010, was little more than a revenge match for Bernard. Their first fight, however, which was fought on May 22, 1993 at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, for the vacant IBF middleweight title, saw both men at or near their prime. Jones was 21-0 at the time and Hopkins was 22-1. We know what has happened to Roy Jones since. We also know that Hopkins has aged like fine wine...
  
  

• Ringside: Bernard Hopkins Interview – October 8th, 2011

  Light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins hasn't grown old. He's aged like fine wine. Although his accomplishments continue to extend his narrative into the future, his past is his past, and Hopkins has never shied away from the scorched earth reality from which he came. This is only one of the hundreds of interviews Bernard has given over the years. But this is beautifully produced, actually produced, and not just the work of a teenager with a camcorder and a dream...
  
  

• Bernard Hopkins vs. Kelly Pavlik – April 22nd, 2012

  When Kelly Pavlik met Bernard Hopkins at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Oct. 18, 2008, he was undefeated at 34-0. Hopkins was coming off a split-decision loss to Joe Calzaghe six months earlier and his record stood at 48-5-1. Hopkins had been written off before, and after the loss to Calzaghe, he was being written off again. But Hopkins has proven more than once that he's the wrong fighter to sell short. Pavlik is still trying to regroup from his fight with Bernard, whereas Hopkins, like Old Man River, he just keeps rolling along...

• HBO Ring Life: Bernard Hopkins – October 11th, 2011

  On Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Staples Center in L.A., Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs) defends his WBC light heavyweight title against 29-year-old “Bad” Chad Dawson (30-1-, 17 KOs). After his history-making victory over Jean Pascal in Montreal last May, Hopkins would have been been forgiven had he decided to take it easy in his first defense. That’s pretty much what everyone else does. But Hopkins isn’t everyone else...
