The old man is in the history books.
Philadelphia's Bernard Hopkins, 46, captured the World Boxing Council and International Boxing Organization light heavyweight championships with a unanimous 12-round decision against Jean Pascal of Laval, Que., on Saturday night before 17,560 Bell Centre spectators.
Hopkins avenged a majority draw the two fought to last December in Quebec City, although many at ringside that night believed Hopkins had won. His undoing proved to be two early knockdowns he suffered, in the first and third rounds.
