Ageless Hopkins

Bernard Hopkins, already the oldest fighter to win a major world title, retained his International Boxing Federation light heavyweight belt with a unanimous decision over Karo Murat in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Saturday. Murat, a German of Armenian descent, was the more active fighter early on, but the 48-year-old Hopkins showed he was willing and able to go toe-to-toe with his 30-year-old foe.  Two ringside judges scored the 12-round bout 119-108 for Hopkins, while a third saw it 117-110 for the United States champion who improved to 54-6-2 with 32 knockouts. Murat fell to 25-2-1, with 15 knockouts.
