By Steve Kim: For weeks, the question posed by those interested was: Given the changing landscape of the boxing business (in the form of Floyd Mayweather going across the street to Showtime), would HBO stay in the Adrien Broner business moving forward?

Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins taught defending IBF Lightheavyweight champ Tavoris, “Thunder” Cloud that he can still run with the best at an advanced age on the Golden Boy/Don King promoted show.

Bernard Hopkins proved yet again that age is just a number. At the Barclay Center in New York on Saturday night the wrinkly warrior out-pointed fellow American Tavoris Cloud claim the IBF light heavyweight crown at the age of 48.
