Last night I watched a boxer give a boxing lesson to Jean Pascal to win the WBC light heavyweight title in Montreal. It was a great fight to watch.

His name is Bernard Hopkins who for sure is going into the boxing Hall Of Fame when ever he retires. And the question is when will he retire? He said he wants to fight until he is 50.

He is 46 years old and gave the 28 year old Pascal some knowledge on how to box. After the fourth round, Hopkins just took control and never looked back. He even did push-ups in-between rounds while the younger fighter looked on. It was great!!

“The Xecutioner” Hopkins let everyone know that he is one of the greatest fighters of all times. He is very intelligent and knows the game of boxing. The history of boxing. I was happy I was able to see this great fighter fight a great fight.

Finally let me say this. I think Hopkins should retire at the top. Walk away from the game as a fighter. He is 46 years old. FATHER TIME WILL CATCH UP TO HIM. Retire now before he gets really really hurt. It only takes one big punch. I hope Bernard Hopkins will walk away from being a boxer and continue to work with “Golden Boy” Promotions to promote big fights and be on ESPN and talk boxing.   

But a shout out to Bernard Hopkins who at 46 years old made me proud to be a boxing fan again. I wish we can get a top heavyweight fighter from America so we can see a great heavyweight title fight in the future.  Gordon Curvey
