    I ask because surprisingly they are both currently identical 5/2 outsiders to win their next match.

    That's what I think as-well. I'm surprised that they are both at the same odds. I don't give Jones much chance at all.

    I agree - but why are the betting odds identical?

    Hopkins has a much tougher task, I am pulling for them both.

    My only hope for Jones is that Joe's work rate forces his up through counter punching.

    To be honest i think work rate is probably going to win both these fights for Pav and Calz, so it is a tough call.

    Are you betting on any of the outsiders? You did pretty well out of Calzaghe Hopkins didnt you?

    I might have a go on Hopkins - some people are saying it's only ten rounds as well - I think he has a chance.

    I don't give Jones any chance against Joe - I may have a wager on Joe.
