On Saturday, April 19, 2014, Showtime Championship Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions presented an exciting 12-round Light Heavyweight unification bout between Bernard “The Alien” Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 KOs) and Beibut Shumenov (14-2, 9 KOs) for the IBF, WBA and IBA Championships.
Though the fight ended in a split-decision victory for Hopkins–with scores of 116-111 Hopkins, 114-113 Shumenov and 116-111 for Hopkins–there was no doubt that he dominated the majority of the fight against Shumenov.
