Classic Revisited: Bernard Hopkins Stops Felix Trinidad in 12

It is always a pleasure meeting fellow boxing fans and I was pleasantly surprised to find a coworker who loves the sport like I do. He mentioned coming to the country as a young kid and being grabbed by boxing. One of his favorite fighters growing up was Bernard Hopkins who happened to also be one of my favorites for years. This talking about Hopkins reminded me of the great performances of his career and the first to come to mind was the win over Trinidad. I remember being a ten year old kid just weeks removed from the tragedy that was 9/11. So many experts and insiders were picking Trinidad to win after his destruction of William Joppy. Bernard took Tito Trinidad apart and finished the job in the 12th round. Here is a nice gift to my readers, a blast from the past for those who remember.
