Bernard Hopkins did not looked like 43 yrs old having an unlikely easy win over Kelly "the Ghost" Pavlik. IS THIS A EXTRA ORDINARY BERNARD HOPKINS?
To describe the fight... is a 12 to nothing round in favor of the old guy who displays pure genius and gifted skills... Bernard Hopkins who were doubt by the world of having a chance to win over a powerful puncher Kelly Pavlik were angry at the end of the fight (well I just hope its not a race issue) and exhibits how it is toying a heavy favorite Kelly that jumps up form Middle Weight to Light Heavy Weight division resulting to his first lost.
Many of the readers may appeal: Hey! Pavlik won the round 11!... So? I think not! He didnt won a single round! I watched the whole fight and I even bet 10 bucks for Pavlik to win at round 5. And I was one of those people who wer stunned watching the ending of the fight... And I personally scored it 120-107 win for B-Hop! And why 107? Kelly was deducted a point at round 8 for punching B-Hop at the back of his head repeatedly!
This not the first time people puts doubt and understimated Bernard Hopkins! June 10, 2006... B-Hop fought another powerful puncher and a trash talker that knocked out Roy Jones Jr named Antonio Tarver. Bernard was called a crazy man calling Tarver for a match at Light HeavyWeight division. Almost all asumed and feared for B-Hop's health facing Tarver and no one believes B-Hop could even retire as a healthy person after Tarver-Hopkins fight. But every ones shock, the under dog B-Hop wins round after round, he even knocked down Tarver at round 6. One of the judges scored 119-109 in favor of B-Hop!
Bernard's record:
49 Wins, 5 Losses, 1 Draw, 1 No-contest, 32 Knockouts
Yes he does have losses, but the weight of his achievements is FAR FAR better than those who have perfect records!
So whose next?
