At 48, Bernard Hopkins Becomes Oldest Boxer To Win A Title By Defeating Tavoris Cloud To Claim The IBF Light Heavyweight Belt. Says He Put Don King “Out Of Business”

. . , , , , , , ,

NEW YORK (AP) — Add another name to Bernard Hopkins‘ list of victims. Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a major title on Saturday night, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over Tavoris Cloud to claim the IBF light heavyweight championship. “It feels good. It feels real good,” Hopkins said. “I’m going to Junior’s (Restaurant and) I’m going to have cheesecake.” The 48-year-old Hopkins broke the record he set by beating Jean Pascal for the WBC light heavyweight title on May 21, 2011. When asked which fight meant more, Hopkins said “tonight was better. Because I’m older. (It’s) more gratifying. “Tonight was one of the bigger fights (in my career).”
And while he reveled in what he accomplished, he was looking toward the future. Hopkins, who was adamant that he will not fight past 50, laid a challenge at the feet of the 175-pound and 168-pound divisions. “I’m motivated to do it,” Hopkins said. “I don’t believe anybody in the 175(-pound) weight class and possibly the 168(-pound) class can beat me.” Hopkins, fighting his 19th title bout, improved to 53-6-2 in the main event of an eight-fight card at the Barclays Center. The 30-year-old Cloud fell to 19-1. “It was great to break (in) the Barclays Center with a (legendary) performance,” Hopkins said. With Hopkins forcing a patient, technical match, Cloud was unable to press the issue and Hopkins circled him, landing jabs to his face, eventually opening a cut above his left eye. “I have to throw a lot of substance (into fights). I’m fighting old school in a new world. (I) have to learn to adapt to what (the judges) are looking for,” Hopkins said. “We knew a 30-year-old guy was not going to run from a 48-year-old guy.” Hopkins connected on 169 of 417 punches. Cloud landed 139 of 650. “I was only average tonight,” Cloud said. “He hit me with an elbow but I’m not complaining. It is what it is.”
