Hopkins makes history, while Dawson wins on the undercard


Bernard Hopkins made history last Saturday night by becoming the oldest man to ever win a boxing world championship at age 46. Facing Jean Pascal for the second time in six months, Hopkins used a good jab, an effective lead right and solid defense to win a unanimous decision. The victory puts Joel M (6-0-1) in the driver's seat for the league championship. Jean Pascal's loss is the first for Bryn's The Girl's Team (3-1-1). Hopkins earns 2 pts, while Pascal gets -1.

On the undercard, Chad Dawson moved to 30-1 with a 12-round decision win over Adrian Diaconu. Dawson used solid boxing skills to beat the tough Canadian fighter. Dawson earns 2 points for Joel B's squad.
