I had ringsides seats for this fight. Not really...was fighting myself out of town and the venue had this fight on a big screen and it started just as my fight ended. All the fans poured around the big TV and we all watched it, which was completely awesome.

It felt like ringside, being there with fans alike, and having a seat with the smell of the gym in the air, and what a display it was. I won't deny I had my chips on Pavlik to win, but it also wouldn't of surprised me to see BHop pull it out. And as we know now, he did more then that.

I'd like anyone to try and make an arguement now about why we should get rid of the older fighters to make way for the new. How could we ever do such a thing? We simply cannot, and Bernard is now the reasoning and arguement for it. We never know when we might see something great.

And great was what Bernard Hopkins performance was last night.
