An international crew assembled for the May 21 light heavyweight championship rematch between Pascal and Hopkins in Montreal.
Bernard Hopkins attempts at age 46 to become the oldest man in boxing history to win a major title, when he challenges legit light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal. This is the second chance for Philly's "Executioner" to make this history, after a majority draw in December where the old man rallied after a fast start by Pascal.
The third man in the ring will be the United Kingdom's Ian John-Lewis, who made some waves in March during a Prizefighter tournament when he somehow scored the Joe Ainscough vs Wayne Reed fight 30-28 for Ainscough.

Two days ago, word got out that the boxing commission in Quebec was considering extra drug testing for the fight, which many of us found a bit oddly-timed.
we'll also have plenty on the big UK card with Braehmer vs Cleverly and DeGale vs Groves, also coming on Saturday.

I was really looking forward to watching this fight but almost missed it. Fortunately I work for DISH and remembered that I could use their TV Everywhere to watch on my smartphone. I wasn’t a big fan of the excessive showmanship but overall things ended the way I expected.
