    Yeah, and you get 13/10 on Hopkins by KO and a similar 6/5 on Hopkins by decision

    So that means the odds makers are pretty much torn on whether Hopkins wins via KO or UD.

    I personally think the fight goes the distance. Hopkins is 45. He's not going to go after RJ like Danny Green or Glen Johnson did. He's going to pace himself. And RJ is a savvy guy himself, especially in the center of the ring. I think it's going to be a boring ass counter punching fest.

    Glen Johnson is hardly a 1 punch KO artist.

    this fight can go either way cause they both old
    jones is more shot than hopkins but I also think it will not easy for hopkins to KO jones cause he actually needs like 11-12 round to beat smaller guy

    also, after 1st round KO lost jones will fight more cautiously... after winning conviencingly against sheika and lacy, he must be think that he's actually back to his prime day and that's why he GKTFO

    That Glass is getting Shattered come fight night. Round 1 KO due to a Hopkins range-finder pawed jab. It's irrefutable.

    Jones has lost all footwork and reactions, when Hopkins times that right hand i can see Jones being rocked. Hopkins hasnt been a great finisher for a while though, i have a feeling Jones survives.

    I think Hopkins wins pretty much a shut out andwill probably hurt a tiring Jones late on in the fight. I agree that he won't drop Jones with one big punch but he will dominate the fight. Jones will win a few gift rounds here or there but go down a 118-110 ish loser.

    Hmm, makes one wonder why the hell he didn't "concentrate" so that Green wouldn't have hit him at all in the first place.

    Or Tarver, or Glen Johnson for that matter.
    :huh

    seriosly?

    Jones hasnt shown any footwork in a long while. Johnson, Green, Calzaghe all able to get in close without much effort...none of them have great foot speed.
