Bernard Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a major title on Saturday night, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over Tavoris Cloud to claim the IBF light heavyweight championship.

The 48-year-old Hopkins broke the record he set by beating Jean Pascal for the WBC light heavyweight title on May 21, 2011.

Hopkins improved to 53-6-2 in the main event of an eight-fight card at the Barclays Center. It was his 29th title bout. The 30-year-old Cloud fell to 19-1.

With Hopkins forcing a patient, technical match, Cloud was unable to press the issue and Hopkins circled him, landing jabs to his face, eventually opening a cut above his left eye.

News of Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation was greeted with almost immediate speculation when it was announced Monday. Why had the pontiff decided to do what no one in nearly 600 years had felt necessary?

Now, Benedict’s brother Georg Ratzinger, 89, is beginning to shed some light on what may have motivated his famous younger brother.

Speaking with reporters in Germany on Tuesday, Ratzinger said that his brother’s eight years at the helm of the Catholic Church had been difficult ones, both physically and mentally, NBC News reports.
