    It will be a 12 rounder for the Ring title I'd have thought.

    YUP!

    Hopkins is the Lt Heavy Champ, when he fights at Lt Heavy, the title is on the line.

    It's pretty simple!

    Neither have any titles at LHW but I think it's still a 12 rounder

    IBO recognizes Antonio Tarver as their champion (due to his win over Santiago back in December)

    So it will be a non-organization-title fight. Of course The Ring magazine bell will be at stake but not the lineal title since it is in the hands of WBO champ Zsolt Erdei.

    It will be 12 rounds.

    Even the Ring title is dusputed at 175, can someone tell me how this happened, other than there light heavyweight title, they have all the correct values...

    Still I think Hopkins is the biggest name, has the 175 Ring belt and is ranked number one in the world, and is on most boxing fans p4p lists, so Id recognize this as a title fight.

    HBO and Buffer will be introducing this bout as the light heavyweight championship of the world thats for sure,

    Yup, but it's funny how "The Man" is often not the best fighter in his weight class....
