Bernard Hopkins Takes Kelly Pavlik To School | FULL FIGHT

[@TheIkaraCult]

This channel is throwing up fights that I used to go on dodgy sites to see on a daily basis - thankyou! Also - BHop was a genius in the ring, barely lost to Calzaghe the year before and then comes back the next year and does this at the age of 43.

[@HkFinn83]

Some say the cornerman is still asking him to double the damn jab

[@PuzSZN]

😂😂😂😂

[@surfdocer103]

I watched for it😂

[@hannibalbeats24]

Back in the day I used to secretly hate Hopkins because he destroyed Tito Trinidad so I was salty 😂 he was always supposed to get old and get beaten to “pass the torch” but he would end up winning.

[@HaraDuran]

For me it's from his sneaky techniques,atleast you can take a lesson from his basics tho.

[@TheJayblaze3]

You were cheering for Tito and you black? You got to be a dark skinned tether immigrant? I was 23 when that fight happened. I remember clearly like it was yesterday,when Hopkins won,it was not just the Puerto Ricans booing him,it was every non-black wannabe white person from different countries booing him. Regardless of their differences, they had with each other,all of them had the same racist commonality towards B Hop. This man was saying USA USA !!🇺🇸 after he destroyed Trinidad (an immigrant, btw) just to get treated like a citizen in his own country based on jealousy because he was Foundational Black American.

I am recently retired, and just now discovering boxing. I’ve been following Hopkins for the last week. He just seemed to get even better as he got older.

[@tom11zz884]

Hopkins was like 44 or 45 years old in this fight beating a young bull in Pavlik. Infact, beat him so convincingly, that Pavlik was never the same fighter again.

[@pablogomez4425]

Pabllik, cometió muy confiado el error de subir 2 categorías y fue muy clara su desventaja física, hoponing, un hueso muy duro de roer, que ni kovalev pudo tumbar. Y la bajada de pablik no fue por esa pelea ya venía en caída libre por su alcoholismo y estar varias veces en rehabilitación..

[@76biggdogg]

43 They showed the Tale of the Tape at the start.

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

I’ll always remember the staredown Hopkins did at the end towards the reporters who wrote him off. Pavlik did say he was sick for this fight, but also gave props and said Hopkins is a brilliant boxer and still could’ve been him that night, he just wished he produced a better showing.

[@tom11zz884]

Stop with the excuses please.

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

@@tom11zz884 I’m a B-Hop fan lol. But Pavlik didn’t make this excuse after the fight, this was on a Joe Rogan podcast after the fact. If you’re fighter then you know stuff happens. Most important thing, Pavlik said him being healthy might’ve not changed the outcome of him losing. No need to get uptight lol

[@tom11zz884]

@@SOLE_II_SOUL Not being uptight. Just don't like when excuses are thrown out there to try to dimmish a great performance on Hopkins part. I think Hopkins beats Pavlik 9 out of 10 times due to Hopkins ring smarts.

[@TheIkaraCult]

Pavlik's appearance on rogan is well worth a listen, he's real and honest about it as well as his own shortcomings and doesnt make excuses

[@skwirrlmaster]

Pavlik didn't stand a chance. Hopkins controlled damn near every second of the fight sheerly through being superior in his footwork.

[@SafePa]

I won quite a bit of money on this fight. Thank you B-Hop!

[@TheGreatestCreatorTruiil-lp7nj]

I recognize the difference between the way Hopkins faught Pavlik and Taylor faught Pavlik. Jermaine Taylor was a stationary target and Bernard Hopkins moved around the ring more

[@benlogan430]

One of Hopkins best performances! The point taken for rabbit punches was appropriate. This was not the Pavlik that fought Taylor.

[@Bobbillyjrboy]

He didn’t beat Taylor because of skills. Taylor stamina was always a problem in his career.

[@TheGreatestCreatorTruiil-lp7nj]

Taylor lost to him because he stood in front of him. Hopkins moved around

[@UnPrecedented-y5p]

This fight was a perfect example of a true vet vs a pure rookie... Hopkins is just way too crafty of a fighter ..he always seems to possess a defensive outlet for every occasion when it comes to boxing... A true champion 🏆

[@rodneyhodge892]

Then now that I think about Hopkins knocked out or knocked down Calazhage in 90 seconds of first round..

[@Bobbillyjrboy]

Bhop was 26 and Pavlik was 43

[@bountifulabundance]

BHOP!!! One of the greatest

[@Therealstanly]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so impressed with a performance by a fighter like I was with B-Hop in this bout. For one I thought he was at the end of his career after the Taylor saga. Pavlik was a dawg who could probably box 25 rounds before even breaking a sweat. I remember I didn’t expect him to beat Tarver but he put on a show and followed up with what is probably his signature win against Pavlik. I honestly believe KP was set to reign over the middle weight div. for a long time had it not been for the executioner. What’s even crazier is he then unexpectedly goes on to dominate as a veteran fighter for years after before finally calling it a career.

[@WardenCommander.]

They say, ever since the end of this match, Pavlik sends a wish card every Father's Day to B-Hop. 😂

[@TheMadDabbler]

If it's Hopkins, that school is segregated 😂

[@euclideszoto997]

It’s just so strange that Hopkins admitted he just couldn’t figure out Taylor. Yet Pavlik dominates Taylor then Hopkins totally outclasses Pavlik. Styles make fights.

[@levijones7679]

Pavlik eas twice as big as Taylor and that fight was a rackem sockem fight. Hopking outclassed Pavlik. Pavlik beat Taylor

[@TextBookPuncher1]

Bernard hopkirk my fave fighter

[@surfdocer103]

8:04 double it!

[@markneff2670]

Binge watched some Pacquiao fights before watching this and compared to those,this one looks like slow motion haha

[@johan.762]

Maybe because Pac-Man’s half the size of these guys?

[@theonewhoisbetterthanyou3570]

1:22 Wait what did this neanderthal just say?

[@tom11zz884]

He was talking about the executioner hood Hopkins wears during his ring walk. He wore the same hood on his head for the Trinidad fight.

[@BERNARDO712]

White guys were so excited to see Pavlik knock out Hopkins. White guys were clinically depressed after the fight. 😂😂😂

[@tom11zz884]

Not about race, but most White guys who appreciate the sweet science, knew this was a great display of skills by Hopkins.

[@hannibalbeats24]

Smh you know pavlik had black and Latino fans too right and everyone appreciated Hopkins the guy was in his freaking 40s still competing at high level.

[@SafePa]

I'm a ginger so am as white as can be and I bet on Hopkins for this fight.

[@umpalumpa6565]

Blak guys were so excited to see Hopkins beat Calzache, Kovalev and Smith. But he got beat up each time, even punched out of his shoes out of the ring. Blak guys were clinically depressed after those nights!!!

I thought Pavlik won this!

[@ericbrandt5609]

You can make an argument for that. Many of the rounds were close and could have gone either way.

[@Duel1982]

Did the crack hit wear off yet or are you two still buzzing?? Not an ant under an elephant foots chance in hell did Kelly win that fight 😂😂

[@hughwardjackson4776]

@Duel1982 pavlik landed the cleaner shots. Outmaneuvered the older fighter. Much better ring generalship and was able to download data early on. Maybe try watching the fight in slow motion with the sound off.

[@Duel1982]

@@hughwardjackson4776 none of the things you said happened. Hopkins unequivocally landed the cleaner, flusher shots throughout the fight. Hopkins ring general ship was on full display as he masterfully outmanoeuvred and turned Pavlik all night. Pavlik s aggression was not effective. Nor was his defense. He never controlled the center, or cut the ring. He was hopelessly outclassed. The fight wasn't close. Or competitive. Hopkins landed the left hook at will. Battered Kelly for all of the championship rounds and left his face a mess. There is no plausible way you could score it for Kelly. Even a draw would have been atrocious scoring.

[@positiveandfunny4332]

Same way you Thought Manny beat Floyd ,Loma beat haney ,your a fan who thinks cheers and throwing punches win ,you don't know difference between landing and throwing

[@Duel1982]

That old version of Bernard still beats Canelo, Benavidez and Charlo. Just bullt different.

[@positiveandfunny4332]

Facts he beats Canelo, he looks the version of Bivol that beat Canelo

[@MalickBeats]

xou guys are just so stupid. Hopkins is literally 2 weight classes bigger than Canelo. Lennox Lewis would deleted hopkins easily xD

[@williejacobs9512]

How this bum become a champion he can’t beat a 43 yr old man Bernard Hopkins is a master fighter he always finds away to win

[@KazenoniKakuremi]

they started doing what they do now, manufacturing champs - fighting for a vacant belt, then having some aged vet who used to be champ fight for another vacant belt - win, then they match him up knowing the other dude was spent BUT pavlik, legit beat Jermaine Taylor, who was legit - but coldn't fight backing up or in the clinch - whih was a perfect match for Pavlik style
