Hopkins BBC "Inside Sport" in-depth interview with Steve Bunce. A MUST WATCH

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7347667.stm

Enjoy this 14 min piece on Hopkins latest visit to the UK and talking about his time in jail. He's interviewed by Steve Bunce of Setanta and BBC sport. This was just shown tonight on UK television. Not available on youtube as far as I know.

Hopkins and Bunce hang out in Philadephia as well.

Top notch presentation and production.


Not sure if this will be viewable to people outside the UK, but give it a try.

 

Thanks for this bro!!!!

Definately will check it out (and I can watch it so...it should be fine)!!!!

 

It a great video. You'll enjoy it.

 

I'm in the process of watching it right now. It's working just fine here in the US.

Thanks Robbi:good

 

5 minutes in and this is AWESOME! Thanks!

 

Seen this earlier on inside sport.

Well worth a viewing, props to pops. :good:good:good

 

Peter Humperdick This is a MUST WATCH!

 

The BBC done a very similar one on Hopkins about 3-4 years ago. It was in Philadelphia as well and he was with Steve Bunce walking around the neighbourhood.

Hopkins was sitting in a cafe and the cops drove by doing the Executioner sign "X" with their arms and Hopkins done it back to them. Hopkins was sitting at a window at the front of the cafe as the traffic went by.

 

One thing is for sure, Hopkins loves to talk about his career and life. He could go on and on if you don't stop him. Thanks for posting the video.

 

:good

 

I thought I'd bring this forward for those who haven't seen it.

 

Hopkins' life would make such a great movie.

Imagine: Title: I Chose to be a Wolf
With Bernard Hopkins as the narrator...

 

I watched the Inside Sport interview with B-Hop & it was an eye opener indeed!

Hopkins may have made the comment "I'll never let a white boy beat me", but I don't think too much should be made of the comment as Bernard met various people during the interview of all races & was always polite to everyone of them.

In Philadelphia, Hopkins appears to be a hero, respected & loved by the people where he himself grew up. From the interview, one clip stuck out for me, which was people thanking Hopkins for paying for new computers to be installed in a youth project centre.

Hopkins gives back to his community, which shows he's still humble, still think of other people who are not as fortunate as he is today.

When a prison puts a massive painting of you on the wall to use an inspiration for the inmates there, then that in itself is an achievement.

Hopkins life has completely rotated from the days of prison to becoming MW/LHW champ, a millionaire, etc.

Bernard is a smart guy aswell - he has a building property portfolio.

 

That was awesome.

Thanks for that. He comes across like a smart guy.

 

Saw this last night on BBC and I also enjoyed it.
