The Middleweight World Championship Series was a boxing round-robin tournament staged by Don King Productions. The goal of the series was to produce a unified Middleweight boxing champion. The victor took the WBA, IBF and WBC 160-pound belts home, and became the first undisputed middleweight king since Marvellous Marvin Hagler held the distinction from 1979 until 1987. The victor was also awarded a specially commissioned "Sugar" Ray Robinson trophy. The contenders in the tournament were William Joppy, Keith Holmes, Bernard Hopkins, and Félix Trinidad. In the semifinal, Trinidad beat Joppy, and Hopkins beat Holmes. The finale pitted Trinidad against Hopkins on September 29, 2001 in Madison Square Garden. Hopkins was victorious in 12th Round TKO.[1].
