Hopkins Gets Revenge Over Roy Jones 17 Years Later

45-year old Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins, 51-5-1, 32 KO’s exacted revenge against 41-year-old fellow legend Roy Jones Jr., 54-7, 40 KO’s. There were a lot of fouls in the 12-round fight, and some apparent acting/buying time by Hopkins who captured the unanimous decision. In the end, Hopkins prevailed by scores of 117-110, 117-110, 118-109. Hopkins said he wanted to fight David Haye for his WBA heavyweight title in the post fight interview while Roy sounded like he may be ready to retire.
