The Best Part Of The Roy Jones-Bernard Hopkins Fight

The rematch that nobody was waiting for went off largely unnoticed Saturday night as 45-year-old Bernard Hopkins finally got revenge on 41-year-old Roy Jones Jr., in a battle of old heads. The last time these 2 met in the ring was 1993, when Roy Jones was still in his prime serving dudes mercilessly. 17 years later, both men were washed up, basically fighting for no cheese, in front of no fans. Perhaps it was some bad timing or waiting far too long to finally get the fight done, but either way both men are going out as 2 of the greatest boxers of all time.

The highlight of the fight came at the end of the 6th round, when Jones threw a questionable shot to the back of Hopkins’ dome, inciting the Executioner as both men tried to get in a few extra punches after the bell. It wasn’t much, but did provide a lasting memory if anyone ever decides to talk about this fight again. It may be chilling in the vault for a while.

Spotted: Mike Vick Hollers At Bernard Hopkins Fight

(Damn, Sugar Shane Mosley looks strung out)

Who knew that Mike Vick and Bernard Hopkins were knigs? The Legend, getting ready to face his former team this weekend, took some time out of his schedule to watch Bernard Hopkins defeat Enrique Ornelas by a 12-round unanimous decision in Philly Wednesday. The win was supposed to set up a fight with Roy Jones next year, but after Danny Green got up in Jones’ ass like a wedgie during their fight in Australia, the match is like a fart in the wind now.
