Hopkins vs Oscar
Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins first made a fan of me with
his brutal stoppage of Joe "The Sledgehammer" Lipsky in the 4th
round back in 1996. His ring entrance, costume, executioner
mask, and burly bodyguards walking behind him with his battle
axes in a funeral type procession along with his hard core
staccato eloquence was truly menacing to watch, you knew by the
way he carried himself that he was the real deal and could
fight. |

Why Hopkins Will Pull It Out Of His Hat
Sam Peter is the former
WBC heavyweight champion. He is hoping to regain a piece of the
heavyweight title. He battered Gabe" Big G" Brown on the Pavlik
- Espino undercard. He came in at 240 pounds. That was 23 pounds
less then what he weighed when he lost to Eddie Chambers. Is Sam
Peter back in the mix ? |

had fought only once in April. This saga got more interesting as
