  • Comments Thread For: Hopkins Wants Abraham at Barclays Center in January

    Bernard Hopkins, who was last seen losing a clear cut decision to Sergey Kovalev last November in Atlantic City, still has designs on fighting one last time. And his swan song could come just weeks after his 51st birthday.

    "I'm looking to go somewhere in January, I guess before the Super Bowl at the Barclay Center which has set aside a date for me and do my last one," said Hopkins on Saturday night underneath the bowels of the StubHub Center, where Golden Boy Promotions, staged the Viktor Postol-Lucas Matthysse card. The date being targeted is January 30th.

    I either want hopkins-abraham or abraham-sturm

    And with sturm getting a rematch with chudinov, hopkins-abraham needs to get made.. It's a big money winnable fighter for both guys

        I don't want to see Sturm every again. Hopefully Hopkins Abraham gets made. Very winnable for Hopkins, seems like the perfect style for him at this age (high guard, low output, somewhat simple to deal with and control). Would love to see Hopkins go out with a win.

              Wouldn't Abraham make alot more fighting in Germany? I can't imagine HBO is willing to pay alot for two waaaaay past it fighters in an UGLY fight.

              Hey Peter Nelson, save that budget and air time for guys like Crawford, Lomochenko, Ali, and Verdejo!

                It would be German PPv plus all the american money... A lot of money in a hopkins fight, and currently not a lot of big fights for abraham in Germany unless it's strum

                  I noticed at the weekend that paddypower is already taking bets on that. AA makes enough in Germany that I'd be surprised if he ever left again. Hopkins-Abraham would get attention but unless HBO/GBP are putting up more money than they should be I don't think it'll happen.

                    They would both make more money in Germany.

                    Hopkins would win it. Abraham is tailor made for his style.
