I never expected this event will ever happen, but it’s now on and for real!
The two legendary boxers and future Hall of Famers will finally collide for their much-anticipated and long-waited rematch; Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins and Roy "The Terminator" Jones Jr. will face each other again after 17 years. The event is called The Rivals: Hopkins vs. Jones II.
Boxing fans had been wanting this rematch to happen after the two boxers first fight on May 1993 when Jones Jr. defeated Hopkins via unanimous decision for the vacant IBF Middleweight title.
The sure-fire bout will happen on April 3 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. This for for the ultimate bragging rights to leave no doubts to who’s the better fighter. Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) and Jones (54-6, 40 KOs) are considered best fighters in boxing history.
Though I was not able to watch (live) their first meeting I can’t wait to see this fight.
