Bernard Hopkins will beat both George Foreman and Jean Pascal this spring

WBC and IBO light heavyweight king Jean Pascal agreed last week to again defend his crowns against the legendary Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins May 21 at a location yet to be determined.

Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KOs) battled Hopkins (51-5-2-1, 32 KOs) to a controversial draw in their initial bout December 18th in Quebec City, Canada.

Despite flooring “B-Hop” in the first and third rounds, Hopkins essentially dominated Pascal for the majority of their match.

Pascal, who was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, suffered his only loss as a professional to Englishman Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KOs) by unanimous decision in December 2008.

Prior to his prizefight with Hopkins, the reigning titlist had triumphed in five consecutive contests.

Pascal is an extremely talented pugilist and, at only 28, he is capable of commanding the light heavyweight division for years to come.

Unfortunately for Pascal, Hopkins has somehow managed to maintain his formidability and he continues to defy “Father Time.”

The Philadelphia native has aged gracefully and he is the antithesis of the character Randy “The Ram” Robinson from The Wrestler.

“Hopkins is not in it for the money,” said Mike Cappiello, a native of Brockton who once fought for the IBO super featherweight title and retired with an impressive mark of 33-6. “He loves to fight.”

“Big” George Foreman was 45 when he monumentally knocked Michael Moorer onto Queer Street in the 10th round to capture the WBA and IBF heavyweight crowns to become the oldest world champion in boxing history.

Hopkins turned 46 on January 15 and he will overcome historic odds, trump Foreman’s record and rightfully emerge victorious this time over the precocious Pascal by unanimous decision.

“B-Hop” is an absolute icon for the ages and he will add another chapter of excellence to his fabled career later this spring.
