By Jason Kim: Newly crowned WBC light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KO’s) says he doesn’t care who he faces next – Lucian Bute or Chad Dawson. This comes after beating Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KO’s) by a 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. Other than a brief struggle in the first four rounds, Hopkins took over the fight from then on and dominated Pascal for the remainder of the bout.

Bernard Hopkins – What is his secret?
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Bernard Hopkins AKA “The Executioner” (52-5-2-1, 34 KO’s) defeated Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KO’s) Saturday night at the Bell Center in Montreal. Thus Hopkins became the oldest man at forty six years old to ever win a boxing world championship.

What was Jean Pascal thinking tonight?
By Mark Young: Bernard Hopkins is not my favourite fighter by a country mile, I don’t like his persona and on many occasions I have found his fights boring and ugly to watch, but at 46 years old, he schooled Jean Pascal tonight. Pascal entered the ring with exactly the same plan he brought to the first fight with Bernard Hopkins and paid the price. Hopkins is now WBC light heavyweight champion of the world while Jean Pascal has just dropped his stock value considerably.
