Bernard Hopkins

Hopkins out of this world


Maybe he’s from another planet. What Bernard Hopkins did on Saturday night in Montreal was unearthly. For the second time in a row he fought like the younger man in the ring when taking Jean Pascal to school in their light-heavyweight title rematch. When Hopkins missed making weight on Friday — by mere ounces, true, but nevertheless something that once would have been unthinkable by his iron-discipline standards — it seemed to offer a hint that the 46-year-old modern-day marvel might finally be starting to feel his age like any human would. Instead, Hopkins went out and fought an even better fight than he did when boxing a draw with Pascal last December.
