Tonight is the night boxing fans have been waiting for. In the tradition of the '80s superfights between Duran, Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns (they all fought each other, after all), the Golden Boy Oscar De la Hoya takes on the Executioner Bernard Hopkins for the middleweight championship. The best against the best. In Hopkins's favor, he's fought at one weight his entire career. Oscar's come up almost thirty pounds since his Olympic victory in 1992. In Oscar's favor, he's been in more competitive, big-time fights than any boxer in recent memory. Hopkins's opposition has been more pedestrian; his faceoff with Felix Trinidad has really been his only superfight. Hopkins is favored, but age has got to catch up to you sometime. Hopkins has failed to KO recent competition when KOs were there for the taking. Look for the quicker De la Hoya to confound critics and Hopkins to win by decision.
