Bloody revenge at last as Hopkins sees off Jones

BERNARD HOPKINS collapsed to his knees in his dressing room, drained from a brutal fight and exhausted by the end of his 17-year wait for revenge against Roy Jones Jr.

Two of their generation’s greatest boxers just might have ended their careers together in a Las Vegas hospital Saturday night, but only Hopkins earned the right to leave with victory.

Hopkins won a gruelling unanimous decision in his long-delayed rematch with Jones, emphatically avenging his loss in the famed champions’ first bout in 1993.
