Bernard Hopkins wanted a memorable send-off Saturday night at The Forum after 28 years as a pro.

Everything seemed lined up for him to get a win tonight, including whom many thought would be a fighter in Joe Smith who would be in over his head.

Turns out the result was memorable indeed, but not the way Hopkins would have wanted.

Hopkins was counted out after being sent through the ropes and onto the floor before a shocked crowd of 6,513.

With the win, Smith improves to 23-1, 19 KOs, while Hopkins ends his illustrious career with a loss, dropping his record to 55-8-2 1 NC, 32 KOs.

Hopkins was hanging up the gloves for good, or so he says he was, after winning world title belts in two different weight classes, including the 20 consecutive title defenses of his IBF World middleweight title.

He had not fought since November of 2014, when he lost a 12 round unanimous decision to Sergey Kovalev.

Smith was coming off an upset win on June 18; a first round knockout victory over Andrzej Fonfara in Chicago.

Hopkins appeared upset with the outcome of the fight more than he was hurt by the punches Smith landed. Hopkins did claim he hurt his ankle when he fell out of the ring.

"I hurt my right ankle when I fell out of the ring," Hopkins told the assembled media after the fight. " could stand, but I was trying to put weight on my foot."

Asked about the impact of the loss to Smith compared to others, Hopkins was diplomatic.

"I feel worse now than when I did when I was 25. I'd rather get a win or something where it's clear, whether it's a loss or a win. I look at the result of this fight as a misfortune."

"This is the fight I wanted. I didn't want to be a cherry-picker. I felt good. I felt him out and I executed what I wanted. He was getting frustrated. He was missing. I could take a good punch.

Asked about whether tonight was the final time he would appear in the ring, Hopkins said yes.

"Win, lose, or draw or controversy, this is it. I have no regrets."
