Philly Boxing History



On Saturday evening at a venue in Canada, a 46 year old Philadelphian named Bernard Hopkins stepped into the ring seeking to make history. 12 Rounds later, this favored son of Philly became the oldest boxer ever to win a major title...besting the previous record holder...George Foreman. Hopkins beat Jean Pascal by unanimous decision and out-boxed the younger man throughout the match.
This athlete can be an inspiration to those of us over 40.
