Mission orientated,
Looking to remove all doubt
Robbed the last time out,
Time to settle debts
Trained for victory,
No regrets…
Fight until death if necessary,
Bernard is staying the course
No trepidation no remorse,
Seventeen years disparity in age
And Bernard Hopkins the Executioner,
Is still boxing's rage,
Never did the Executioner relent
Looked less like the main event
And more like the ultimate
Philly fighter putting on a boxing clinic,
In Atlantic City
Before the entire nation
The young champion was victimized
Brutalized and bewildered
By X's near perfect eye, hand
Speed and foot Coordination,
Pavlick bloodied left town hurt
With his face dragging in the dirt,
Head to the ground, humiliated on his trip
Home to Youngstown.
Humiliation is a hard meal to eat
The Executioner handed Pavlick
His first defeat.
