The first time, he fought for a world title, Bernard Hopkins returned two knockdowns to win a game nobody in a fight that thought he had won. Saturday night in Québec City, in an attempt to become the oldest world champion in boxing history, everything is new.

On December17, 1994, a 29 - year, Hopkins fought Segundo Mercado for IBF Middleweight vacant in Quito (Ecuador) title. This is the tenth time right Mercado had fought in his country of origin of the Ecuador and the ninth time right, he fought in Quito.

This was first time Hopkins fighting for the United States, and he did not start well. Hopkins underwent knockdowns in fifth and seventh series.

Hopkins has fought his way to the hole, however, won nine of the ten other towers on a score card to win the victory of a judge opinion. Another judge only gave him seven other ten towers for a raffle.

The third judge scored four series of the same and had a Hopkins to lose to end the fight as a raffle.

Hopkins was furious and railed against what he regarded as a decision of the hometown. Promised never to fight once more to the United States.

It is a promise that Hopkins kept for 16 years and one day.

On Saturday evening, Hopkins has used his passport to a struggle for the second time in his career.

It was heavier: back then he won the world title in a match revenge and held for 11 years and 20 tusks. The price of this time was the WBC Light Heavyweight title.

He was older. At that time, it was less than a month later turning 30. This time it was closer to 60 30 years of age.

If he won the title at the edge of transform 46, he would become the oldest fighter to win a world title in the history of boxing, over a year and a half that age-old Member Archie Moore Hall and a little over a month like George Foreman.

Yet once the fight begin by Wells. Champion WBC Jean Pascal, fighting in his house in Quebec, Canada, scored knockdowns in two of the first three rounds.

Pascal took Hopkins in the first round with a right hand. At the time considered close to be a blow to the back of the head, Pascal offence warned on several occasions to the fight, but respondent Michael Griffin held a legal knockdown.

In three rounds, a hook left transmitted Hopkins again.

Hopkins began immediately after his return. He has worked body of Pascal and the attacker as the fight is on. 12Th, Hopkins was Pascal in difficulty, and champion appeared close to downhill. Ability to stay on his feet saved his title, however.

"The twelfth round was vicious", he said in the post fight press conference. "The fifth round in the twelfth, it seemed like he was tired." It was breathtaking whenever I went to the body. »

At least one judge had Hopkins, winning all other control tower. Steve Morrow was Hopkins eight of the ten remaining towers to a 114-112 victory. Claude Paquette gave Hopkins seven towers for a circulation of 113-113.

In the end of the Mercado, a judge who was generous with series of 10-10 has made the difference. Daniel Van de Wiele saw the tenth round, apparently dominated by Hopkins, as even.

He also held a round, a series of 10-9 despite the knockdown Pascal, which means that it would be same without the deduction of a point for the knockdown.

The result is a map of 114-114 and a raffle for the majority. Unofficial dashboard of AHN has 114-112 for Hopkins.

"I have no response," said Hopkins. "The world seen by it." I had the guys beat. You see Pascal jump around from happy. »

"I lifted and fought like a champion", Hopkins said of knockdowns. «Look them on his face». "Look at mine".

Golden Boy Promotions had worked to schedule an immediate rematch, preferably on American soil.

"The closer I will never come to the Canada in new East to Niagara Falls, said Hopkins.".

It is a promise that Hopkins may decide to revise just before he turned 62.
