I picked Hopkins by decision. Though he says he is going for the knockout, I think he will show Jones a lot of respect.... A late KO for Hop is certainly possible, he will be able to land his right on Jones all night. It all depends on Jones in my opinion. If Jones is hesitant to throw punches and doesn't make Hopkins respect him, then I will say a late TKO for Hopkins, but Jones still has enough speed if he lets his hands go to at least make Hopkins think twice about risking getting hit, and coast to a UD. I really don't see Jones winning any way. Especially after his last performance.
Anybody remember the last time Bhops had a grudge with other people other than RJ? He blasted both Echols and Allen in rematch/rubber matches. I think Bhops carries RJ for acouple of rounds until he KO's Jones brutally.
I didn't vote but go for BHop by KO/TKO. God forbid them fighting again unless Danny Green actually cheated and RJJ wants revenge but then again RJJ's ego wouldn't allow him to accept losses. God forbid them fighting after this fight both are HOF worthy. Toney too he needs to retire as he won't get any big fights.
Go into your kitchen. Grab a drinking glass. Walk outside to the street. Drop the glass on the asphalt. That is exactly what Hopkins is going to do to Roy's fragile Glass Jaw. It will be an episode of 'Shattered Glass'. :rofl
Roy Jones is more shot than Sonny Corleone, Tony Montana, and Pablo Escobar combined. This is the most worthless fight in recent memory.
well, if roy lose this one people will only say what has been said million times, time to hang up the glove! but if hopkins somehow lose this one, he's ruining his own record with a lost to a completely shot fighter.
If Hopkins wins, it's expected and I'll be glad I didn't order the ppv...if Jones wins, I'll be kicking myself and I'll be disappointed I didn't order the ppv lol.
I Know RJJ's chin isn' like it use to be and his tko lost against Green wasn't great either. He also got man handled by Calzaghe. After all that, somethin still tells me Roy has what it takes to beat the executioner. God i wished Toney dropped to middle - light heavy!
This fight is the most appalling joke that has happened in my lifetime. I would normally say "I refuse to even discuss how the fight will go as it is so ****", but it's patently, painfully obvious that Hopkins wins at a canter, so I can't even take the high road on this. Hopkins should have spent '09 organizing a fight with Adamek, or Dawson, or Glen Johnson, or Lucian Bute, or even Paul Williams, or even Danny Green, or even a rematch with Pavlik - basically ANYTHING except this hideously pointless mismatch against the ROTTING CORPSE of a fighter who should have been forced to retire by the authorities YEARS ago. ****ing disgusted. :good
all the set backs Roy has had the last couple of years or so would favour Hopkins to win this one however Im gonna go with Roy Jones jnr on points
