    This.
    Neither was Green or Tarver but they still put him down. Ya don't need to be a ko artist to knock someone out. All it takes is the right punch at the right time.

    cause he think he's untouchable again after beating sheika and lacy

    remember againts trinidad and calzaghe , jones put both gloves to protect his head from start to finish but I'm sure he realized his fans will be disapointed if he keeps fighting that way, so he decided to use his old style against sheika and lacy and it worked... but he forgot he actually couldnt take punch anymore.

    Respect to the thread starter. But no disrespect for prizefighters as well and there are too many members that have disrespected both before and after the fight. Hopkins expected to have RJJ hurt as he stepped in with his right hand and that was a legit expectation as Jones opened up so that Green could have discharged full power on his left temple... Green did download a fair share of powerpunches on a standing still target and landed some uppercuts that had Jones put out of balance... That's when the referee stepped in and stopped it prematurely. Most expected Hopkins to beat Jones on points but a whole lot prayed for it so that they could knock bernard off in VICTORY...

    Just curious how did you score the fight in rounds not the 10 point must system.

    I didn't really score it, I just watched it and knew Bernard was winning the fight by a good margin on the scorecards, especially after Roy got a point deduction. I think I only saw 2 or 3 rounds that could have been given to Roy. 3 Rounds would have been pretty generous to Roy.
