    Hopkins Beats Shumenov – Age is Only a Number

    Even though the scorecards told us of split decision, there was nothing close in the fight between Bernard Hopkins and Beibut Shumenov, as Hopkins unified the Light Heavyweight title in another dominant display, despite his advanced age of 49, which doesn’t seem to be slowing his appetite for the sport and titles down.

  • Aftermath of the Hopkins – Dawson Title Fight

    Chad Dawson knew the 12 rounds against Bernard Hopkins were going to be tough and dirty. That’s how Hopkins fights. That’s how Hopkins has remained a Light Heavyweight champion at the age of 47.

We, the fans, and the sports integrity itself deserves a clear cut decision.
