        Larry Hopkins(0-3).

        HBO PPV is going to replay the fight during the broadcast.

        ESPN will stream the fight for free.

        He's an amazing man and I hope he pulls off a victory even at 51. We need a happy ending to this story.

              No...if a new crime is committed, new sentence issued

                what a story, it reminds me of the films; The hurricane and Convicted.. watch them both if you enjoy the 'against all odds' thing.. it is very similar, sad and true stories too..

                didn't know he was on the bhop/dawson undercard..even better espn is streaming for free...will watch this!

                thanks for sharing...green K

                      great video, thanks... what a man, a true inspiration...

                      just curious. he spent 26 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, so would the US courts financially compensate him for the 26 years of freedom he lost? He should at least be able to sue them for lost revenue i.e. money he could have made if he was free..
