The Real Bernard Hopkins

[intoccabile]

That's a touching story.

It's hard to reconcile this Hopkins with the guy who evicted his nephew from an apartment for being late with the rent.

I got the back story on that awhile back, not all of it, but enough.
The kid was f-ing off,for quite awhile apparently, Bernard had warned him repeatedly,"Grow up, be a man" repeatedly and the kid pulled a "What are you gonna do about it?"
Thats not a confirmed thing, its just what I heard through the pipeline

Demetrius checks kept bouncing... that's pretty much it.

Yeah thats what I heard, and when B-hop asked him repeatedly to man up, he copped an attitude about it.
You dont help a kid by letting him get away with stuff like that, gotta pay your way, and youve got to man up.
Its a shame it reached that point, but I dont know what else he could have done

Yeah, not much else to do.
Lessons are learned the hard way
