The ageless Bernard Hopkins (51-5-1) will do battle this Saturday night with WBC/IBO light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-1) at the Pepsi Center in Quebec, Canada. The fight will air live on Showtime in case you have the desire to watch the senior citizen lace up the gloves yet again.
The last time B-Hop stepped in the ring he fought in one of the worst bouts of recent memory, as he and Roy Jones Jr. engaged a 12 round snorfest. I'm still trying to forget how bad it was.
Pascal is coming off the biggest win of his career, as he upset one of boxing's top pound for pound fighters in Chad Dawson. Pascal brought his A game against Dawson, and as a result scored an 11th round technical decision.
You can see both fighters here in the final presser for the fight.
Hopkins, who will be 46 in January, still believes he has gas left in the tank and a lot to prove. The younger Pascal will once again need to be sharp if he expects to beat Bernard, who never makes a fight pretty for the fans or easy for his opponents.
