    I think Jones is more likely to be upset. Jones is fighting Danny Green next and Hopkins is fighting Ornealus. Of course I do not know much about Green but looking at his sparring with Toney I wonder if he'll have enough power to knock out Jones? Jones has shown in the past that he can be knocked out but I just don't know whether Green has the power to do it. We'll find out when they fight.

    Jones, he is fighting a better opponent and he also is has also declined far more than Hopkins has.

    Roy. Sam Soliman is the best fighter out of 5 who has beaten Ornelas.

    Danny was also about 20 pounds lighter while sparring Toney. He has a punchers chance. Ornelas has a divine interention chance.

    Actually, Green is quite heavy-handed, Joe. And he is a champion, albeit an IBO champ. But I give the IBO more credibility than many. Green's also hard-headed. Hard-headed and heavy-handed.

    I don't consider an upset when this version of Jones loses.

    Both are of age where a LOSS to either wouldn't be surprising, IMO.
    Tho B-Hop seems to be the fresher of the 2.

    I don't expect any of them to come up short.
    Gun to my head.... I'll say Jones get's beat before Hopkins.

    Jones clearly. Hes fighting a bigger, better and harder puncher than Hopkins. Unless Hopkins breaks something during fight, Ornelas has zero chance to win. This is one of the biggest mismatches this year.

    Jones, of course. The Hopkins fight is a non-competitive tune up.

    Jones. That fragile Glass Jaw can be shattered at anytime.

    Im a bit confused as to where these fights are airing in the United States ... Are they free on that internet site that ESB links to? Or is it on some channel?
