Hopkins wins Jones rematch: Bernard Hopkins avenged his defeat to Roy Jones Jnr 17 years ago with a unanimous points victory at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

The two future Hall of Famers finally faced each other again after they went their separate ways following Jones' victory in 1993 for the vacant IBF middleweight title.

"He's a defensive fighter, and he fought a smart fight," said Jones, who plans to talk to his advisers before deciding whether to keep fighting. "I had to chase him the whole time. The referee didn't warn him about [head butts], but every time I did something, I got a warning."

If you can't beat a 45 year old fighter I'm not sure why you would need to talk to your advisors to realize you're done.

What a sad fight.
