Bernard Hopkins 174.4lbs vs. Tavoris Cloud 173.8lbs







Keith Thurman 145.8lbs vs. Jan Zaveck 146.6lbs





March 9
At New York (HBO): Tavoris Cloud vs. Bernard Hopkins, 12 rounds, for Cloud's IBF light heavyweight title; Keith Thurman vs. Jan Zaveck, 12 rounds, welterweights

I would like to see b-hop come to fight and put pressure on cloud.

i got off work early to watch!

Thurman vs. Zaveck is live now on round 10

Ugh I respect Hopkins but man has he got on ugly style.

Cloud is so frustrating he'll back Hopkins off with one punch and then he'll stop throwing

Cloud's been cut by a left hook.

Not a hard fight to call. Can't believe Hop was a dog honestly

Looks like Hopkins is about to break his own record and set a new one. First beats Foreman's record by winning a world title at 46 and now he's doing at 48 years old.

Yup judges give it to Hopkins by wide unanimous decision.

10-2 BHop absolutely amazing

Was Hopkins calling out Ward here ? I didn't have the HBO feed so I can't tell.

No he was telling ward he wouldn't fight him. For a million dollars he wouldn't.

Quote :

"Andre Ward is a protege of myself. I would never fight Andre Ward, and I even told Richard [Schaefer] that in the ring....$10 million dollars, $8 million dollars, $15 million dollars....I told him in the ring it's not the money. And I mean that. And I put that on my mom's grave," Hopkins said.

yess Hopkins went over talked shit to Andrew Ward, then talked shit to Don King it was pretty entertaining after fight antics

He talked shit to don king not ward.

Who should Hopkins face next ? Even though it's not a great match up for him I'd kinda like to see Froch get a shot at B-Hop, the build up alone would be entertaining.

Kessler-Froch winner

I think b-hop should just keep fighting any alphabet champ he can. He beats all of them by landing 6 punches per round lol.

Nathan Cleverly the WBO holder seems to be the likely choice for a unification. I'd love to see Hopkins come over to London or Cardiff to face Cleverly but I won't hold my breath.

1.2 million tuned in to watch Hopkins make history again, not outstanding figures by any means but still impressive for a 48 year old who's not the most exciting fighter out there.

Also Andre Ward said he's interested in a fight with Hopkins but wants it on PPV

I wouldn't buy it.
