    I'm actually liking this Jones-Hopkins III today lol. Can't wait to rewatch this on yutube. Hopkins needs to open up more though he finished strong.

    i have my money on brad mainly bc dhop's passive style. And brad did keep up his workrate against kelly for 10 rounds.

    4-1-1 soloman good pressure and landed some nice body shots, D hopkins needs to use that looping right hand more.

    Does B-Hop ever attend his nephews fights?

    Round 7

    Solomon is playing an invisible accordion in front of Hopkins, trying to get him to come forward and open up. Hopkins still "wants his candy", and hangs back to wait for his own countering ops. Solomon chases with some high slapping left hooks. Hopkins drives him back for a second with a quick right hand lead, but Solomon returns instantly with his erratic lines of attack. Solomon has his hands floating in front of him to confuse Hopkins, and is moving his head and upper body a lot on the way in to make a slippery target. Solomon comes forward and lands a right hand to the body before thudding with an accidental chest-bump into Hopkins, who pins his arms. Solomon keeps working his way out and slapping with hooks to the head, and Hopkins tries to shoot his hands down the middle at him before ultimately getting frustrated and grabbing again.

    69-64 Solomon

    Demetrius just cost me money by not throwing any punches. This fruitcake should never be allowed on television again.

    D hop is not fighting to win. He needs that "go get it" attitude if he wants to get the W. Solomon is winning and Hops only has 3 rounds to do something big/
