One year ago tomorrow, KELLY “The Ghost” PAVLIK transformed himself from the No. 1 middleweight contender into world middleweight champion and boxing folk hero. It was on Saturday, September 29, 2007, in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall, that Pavlik pulled himself off the canvas after a second round knockdown, served up by undefeated defending champion Jermain Taylor, to come roaring back, knocking out Taylor in the seventh round.

Calzaghe Retires Hopkins
Filed Under Boxing Results | 3 Comments
Joe Calzaghe battled his way back from a first-round knockdown to win a split decision over Bernard Hopkins on Saturday. Hopkins knocked down Calzaghe with a right hand just 70 seconds in at the Thomas & Mack Center. With a Ruiz like defense and good counterpunching, Hopkins repeatedly negated Calzaghe’s attempts to trade blows and gain physical control, causing more frustration than Calzaghe has ever felt. Calzaghe landed 33 percent of his 707 punches, while Hopkins connected with 27 percent of his 468 blows. Calzaghe had the edge in power punches with both total blows and accuracy, and he also outjabbed Hopkins. After 12 rounds, Judge Ted Gimza scored it 115-112 for Calzaghe, and Chuck Giampa favored Calzaghe 116-111. Judge Adalaide Byrd gave it 114-113 to Hopkins, as did many reporters at ringside—including The Associated Press, which also favored Hopkins 114-113 despite Calzaghe’s dominance in the final five rounds.

Bernard Hopkins - Joe Calzaghe
Filed Under Boxing News | Leave a Comment
Bernard Hopkins After being handed a cane (a “gift” from Enzo Calzaghe)…: I’m going to find something to do with it. Something Kinky. This is going to be my third assassination of a southpaw in the last year and a half. There is nothing for me to hype. Even my worst critics have to bow down and admit that I’m in great shape. The times have changes where 43 is not what it used to be. I don’t have days off. I don’t do anything to my temple—my body—that’s why I’m here. It comes from discipline that I got from a dark place 20 years ago. Read more
