It looks like that is it for Hopkins. He got old fast but at 47 can you blame him? What a career. One of the all-time greats.

He never really got the respect he deserved for such a incredible career. You can't argue bout his resume. He's going into the HOF.
Ruined many careers and was a great fighter through his entire career.
I didn't always like his personality, but I loved his fighting ability.
He never got the respect out of Vegas either because of his fighting style.

Totally agree. Not an exciting style and consequently didn't produce many exciting fights but as you said...his resume is undeniable. It's amazing that he was able to be successful for so long. Longevity. 47 years old. Pretty amazing. I tip my cap to Bernard Hopkins. HOF without question.

Paul Williams is likely to be paralyzed after a motorcycle accident. He had a fight coming up against Saul Alvarez.
Horrible....damn.

Haven't been here in a while surprised to see this thread was still active. Had to agree to some rules before posting................when did that start?
Kelly Pavlik is on the comeback trail tomorrow night on FNF.
Pavlik(38-2) vs Scott Sigmon(22-3)
Sigmon is a 20-1 dog.
If Pavlik is impressive tomorrow night his next fight may be against Adonis Stevenson which would send the winner to a title shot.

Looks like Top Rank loaded up the rest of the show with unbeaten prospects.
Arum probably isn't too concerned with this show since he has another one in Vegas that is a slightly bigger fight the day after tomorrow.

Pavlik won by TKO in the 7th.
Tonight is the Pacquiao-Bradley PPV. Wasn't going to buy it but had a change of heart and am gonna get it now. I think that Bradley will lose a close fight. I'll say Manny by UD but all 3 judges will have it close.

I'm taking Bradley. I don't know if he can win, but he's looked impressive and he really looks determined.
Fight is finally about to start.... soon... lol.

Pac is up 3-1 in terms of rounds.
Bradley has quick hands but not much power.. Also looks like Bradley hurt his leg or ankle

Wow... 1st round was a toss up, but I think Bradley did a little more... seemed like Manny was feeling him out there... Manny has won each round after though.Midstate01;1194348 wrote:Now has it 48-47 PAC

Bradley maybe took round 6 too. Either way, at worst it's 4-2.

He's been getting hit all night. At least he did a little damage. He's got no chance outside of a miracle knockout at this point...robj55;1194355 wrote:He got outlanded by like 20

Pretty boring fight, if you can call a Pacquiao fight that. However, this was domination. 11-1 or even 12-0...
