Hopkins makes easy work of Tarver!

Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins shocked Antonio Tarver at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey to capture the recognized light heavyweight championship of the world. Hopkins, a 3-1 underdog coming in, won the bout surprisingly easily, consistently beating the stronger Tarver to the punch all night long. All three judges scored the bout 118-109 for Hopkins. Neither of Boxingtalk's ringside reporters scored a single round for Tarver. MUCH MORE FROM ATLANTIC CITY TO FOLLOW!
