hahahha yeah he will have the mental advantage after being brutally knocked out in his was match. You are joking I hope
I believe RJJ can win. I think Bhop is going to come in very aggressive to see if he can take RJJ out early. If RJJ can weather the storm, he will likely win by decision.
You guys are giving Bhop way to much credit. People dont change their styles just like that. Bhop isnt going to with this fight, in fact he will be way more cautious than he has been in his fight with Tarver for instance. Bhop will try and outbox and out slick RJJ and this is not the way to beat RJJ. Bhop does not apply the necessary pressure and his tactics will be ineffective bersus RJJ.
All ridiculous replies will be met with a RJJ video. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoCOg8ZzUfg[/ame]
Well I'm still a tiny bit intrigued in this fight, basically it wouldn't surprise me to see Bhop give Jones a sustained beating and if this is to happen then there's a very good chance Roy will finally realise his time is up. On the other hand that tiny bit of intrigue is based on the fact that styles make fights and Jones is probably still very confident he will do to Bhop what he did before. I'd be happy for this fight to happen if they both retire afterwards.
No way. Roy's defense is non-existent these days. It does not matter if BHOP has a low output, he will make his punches count. Roy will not go the distance.
Danny Green = This year's Breidis Prescott Roy Jones Jr = The best there was and the best there ever will be. Love Hopkins too but this fight could be Roy's chance of redemption and although I don't think he will, Bernard should not take Roy lightly. This could go either way with either Hopkins or Roy putting on a clinic but one things for sure Hopkins 'aint going down so Roy has to stay on his toes.
****ing Roy boys... all seem to fall for the flash and miss the fire. Hopkins is ten times the fighter Roy could ever be.
He has the style to beat Hopkins but he is spent as a top level fighter. His punch resistance has been shot since Tarver sparked him. I'm a massive fan of both fighters and I will definitely be watching it. I just don't see it being very competitive. It will be close for first 3 or 4 rounds but then Hopkins will take over and land at will. I expect a mid round stoppage with Jones badly beaten up. I hope I'm wrong.
Boxing is two men fighting so of course RJJ has a chance but come on, boxing fans always want to believe even when the opposite is shoved down their face. RJJ got beat by a really, really average fighter less than two years after been utterly taken apart by Calzaghe. The guy has lost the only tool he had that made him a good fighter and instead everyone can see that beyond that speed he was a really avergae fighter with absolutley no defensive skills. Hopkins is still and elite fighter, he will break Jones down, he will dismantle him and he will hurt Jones over and over and over. Jones is nothing now but a punching bag.
although Jones is clearly shot...I still give him a chance because I actually think Hopkins is also shot. Jones style if he has enough left in the tank to keep it up for 12 rounds can bamboozle old Hopkins. I will watch this one...yeah its 2 old shot fighters, 10yrs ago this would've been an easy night for Roy...now things have turned around and its not so clear cut.
