Hopkins fought in flurries, as the 45-year-old has done in his old age to preserve energy, but Jones , 41, barely fought at all. The one-time pound-for-pound king’s best punches were fouls, which precipitated the most-dramatic moments of an otherwise sorry night.

In the end, Hopkins, who has retained a good deal of his skills, easily outboxed Jones, who is a shell of what he was, to win a lopsided decision and avenge Jones’ unanimous-decision victory in 1993.

The real losers were those masochists who watched the fight on one of boxing’s worst nights in recent memory.

At least Hopkins tried. The older man took the fight to his younger foe, picking his spots to land solid punches to the head and body throughout the night. It’s no wonder that he won by scores of 117-110, 117-110 and 118-109.

The same can’t be said of Jones, who did a lot of feinting and a lot of preparing to punch but not a lot of actual punching, particularly in the first half of the fight. And his once-sublime defensive skills have been reduced to clutching tightly whenever his foe gets near.
