As we mentioned earlier this afternoon, Bernard Hopkins missed weight on his first attempt for his rematch with Jean Pascal. The two men fought to a controversial draw in late 2010, a bout which saw Hopkins knocked down twice early before taking over the fight from a fading Pascal as the rounds wore on.
Hopkins Vs. Pascal Weigh In Results: Bernard Hopkins Makes Weight On Second Attempt
Hopkins had two hours to lose four ounces and make the 175 pound light heavyweight limit, which he was able to do. Pascal tipped the scales at 174.14 while featured undercard fighters Chad Dawson (173) and Adrian Diaconu (174.4) both made weight for their light heavyweight bout.
The match between Hopkins and Pascal will crown the universally recognized (if not by a few of the alphabet sanctioning bodies) light heavyweight champion. Should Bernard pull off the win he would become the oldest man to ever win a major boxing world championship, besting the mark currently held by George Foreman after his upset of Michael Moorer.
