Liberty & Justice For All: Bernard Hopkins vs. Morrade Hakkar
Fight Notes: Undisputed Middleweight Champion Bernard Hopkins enters the ring for the first time in more than a year since failing to come to an agreement to face Roy Jones Jr. when he defends his titles in his hometown of Philadelphia. His challenge comes in the form of hopeless contender Morrade Hakkar, who runs from Hopkins the entire first round of the fight. He later takes a knee to avoid punishment in round six, but Hopkins chooses to taunt him rather than head to a neutral corner, allowing Hakkar to beat the count. Referee Frank Cappuccino strangely waves off two more knockdowns in the seventh round, but Hakkar finally gets out of the fight when his promoter stops the fight after the eighth round. |

This is quite possibly the worst boxing match I have ever seen. It makes Lewis vs McCall 2 seem like a FOTY candidate.

Hakkar's running was DISGRACEFUL but Larry Merchant went toe to toe with Hopkins in the post fight interview and took a BEATING. Perhaps Hakkar had the right idea all along.
