The Rivals: Roy JONES vs. Bernard HOPKINS at 175lbs

Hopkins to complete outbox Jones, who will be rooted to the spot as he doesn't have the legs to carry him.

 

I only watched Jones-Hopkins for the first time last night, but I'm pretty sure Hopkins wins this one. Compare the two fights they had with Calzaghe

 

Jones on points 7-5, controversial decision

 

hopkins will ud jones 9-3

 

And who did Hopkins fight, other than the little men?

Jones has wins over:
Prime Hopkins
Prime Toney

What does Hopkins have?

 

Im not sure Hopkins was prime when they met

 

Yeah well people can argue whatever they want. You can also argue that Toney was weakened by making weight. Doesn't matter.

 

Jones decision

 

Hopkins has never even been hurt in his career,let alone stopped and 2 people {hopefully only 2 people} Think a far past prime Roy Jones Jr is going to Knockout Bernard when Roy in his prime didnt even come close to stopping Hopkins back in 1993?

 

I just can't see Roy winning this one... I'm going to (v)bet on him though, should be nice odds :think

Does anyone know if the fight will be aired in technicolor(tm) ?

 

hopkins stoppage

 

I actually less indifferent to this fight than I am to most nowadays. I am rooting for someone for the first time in a long, long time.

I do hope Jones pulls it off, it will be great to see. And he be valiant in his attempt to get the unlikely victory. It will be a courageous first round KO loss for him.

 

Hopkins by KO in savage and embarrassing fashion.

 

Hopkins wins a boring UD. Both these guys are counter punchers. Its pretty obvious Hopkins style aged much better than Jones. But Jones doesnt have the legs nor the ability to beat Hop to the punch anymore. Theres going to be alot of posturing in this one thats for dam sure.
