There does not seem to be many boxing fans here but I thought I'd mention it anyhow..Philadelphia's own Bernard(The Executioner)Hopkins outpointed and dethroned his opponent for the IBF Light Heavyweight title last night.

GREAT STORY! "THE EXECUTIONER" has been one of my favorite fighters since the mid-90's they thought he was washed up back then when roy jones(long since retired) beat him.. he's got to rank with ARCHIE MOORE AND BIG GEORGE FOREMAN FOR ...ALL TIME .... greatness in longevity .... long live b-hop
i'll go ahead and
DATE MYSELF ...SAW ROCKY(ORIGINAL RELEASE) FRESHMAN YEAR h.s...... makes me feel old AND YOUNG at the same time ...anytime you want to talk boxing...I'M in
I don't watch nearly as much boxing as I used to.Before B-Hop's fight they gave a rundown of upcoming fights and out of about five fights mentioned I only recognized one name...I used to be a big boxing fan.
me too ,remember when the big fight used to rival the super bowl.....HOLMES V. COONEY.... LEONARD V. HEARNS HAGLERV. LEONARD... people forget how BIG those fights were... now other than mayweather and pac man ... who's left.... don king and bob arum made a few people rich ...and KILLED THE SPORT(for now)
Now I will hint at my age...I watched Holmes-Cooney from my bed at the hospital I was in when I was a kid.
