Hopkins-Johnson II…’Cause Someone Needs to Ask
By Cliff Rold - It took too long but, after an awkward stretch where the aging didn’t seem interested in acting their part, a youth movement appears afoot in boxing. The sport needs it. Young fighters have a way of doing something older, wiser fighters sometimes forget to do. They fight. Still with a chip on their shoulder, still working towards riches, matches of quality fighters whose physical peaks and mental acuity are near congruent have often been special. Just a couple of weeks ago, fight fans were reminded as Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto took turns swinging for the gates and putting each other on the deck. A couple weeks before that, Flyweights Luis Concepcion and Hernan Marquez beat the hell out of each other and God bless them for it. That doesn’t mean the vets don’t have their place. Erik Morales showed Marcos Maidana he wasn’t ready for the rocking chair just yet. Juan Manuel Marquez might just snare his dream third match with Manny Pacquiao, still reigning as the Lightweight king. And when the smoke clears from next week’s big event, arguably the two most intriguing matches over the next four weeks in boxing will feature men closer to 50 than they are to thirty. On May 21st, the great Bernard Hopkins (51-5-2, 32 KO) will challenge Light Heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (26-1-1, 16 KO) for the second fight in a row.
