Bernard Hopkins' career ended in undignified fashion on Saturday as the 51-year-old veteran was knocked out of the ring by Joe Smith Jr. at the Forum in California.
In the eighth round of Hopkins' 67th and final professional bout, he was sent tumbling through the ropes and onto the floor below by a flurry of punches from his opponent.

Hopkins had 20 seconds to return to the ring but, seemingly injured by the fall, failed to do so and was led away by his team.
