Bernard (The Alien) Hopkins won by unanimous decision over Karo Murat and retained his IBF Light Heavyweight belt in a very entertain twelve round fight.
The first few rounds Murat seemed to have had control over the fight but Hopkins took over shortly after.
It’s amazing to see a man (Hopkins) at the age of 48 go toe-to-toe and brawl with a man (Murat) almost 20 years younger.
When asked; Hopkins explained it by saying “I’m a freakin’ alien.”
Hopkins says next up he will be looking for some super fights whether it be up or down in weight.
He stated most likely it will be down in weight.
Asked if he was serious about going down to 160 in weight and the about fighting Floyed Mayweather; Hopkins response “I can make 160 if the negotiations become realistic.”
Wouldn’t that be a fight to see?
No matter who he fights next I’m quite sure he’ll put on a good show as he always does.
