Because ya'll must've forgot Hopkins is not the man to beat Jones. He's got no speed, he's got no punch, he is a bully but he is not gonna bully a man his own size. Roy is way past his prime but he can still fight old man Hopkins. Hopkins said losing to Jones at this point would be devastating and tomorrow he's gonna be devastated, mark my words.
B-Hop has knocked down, hurt, or buzzed all of his opponents since moving up to 175.
There's a reason most of Hopkins' opponents are tentative to throw against him and it's not just his footwork and countering ability, but the power of his punches.
Jones still has really good hand speed, but his foot speed and reflexes are not there and he's not even able to use whatever he has because of his lack of stamina.
RJ can't go a round without laying on the ropes. Good luck countering Hopkins like that. The more I talk about it, the more I realize how much Roy will get beasted.
Roy is done my man.
Jones has no legs and no punch resistance at this point, he is either getting decisively beaten over 12 or Hopkins is taking him out late.
8th round Roy Jones gets stopped, or knocked out. Both of these guys should retire though after this fight. Seriously.
nah. if hops wants to win a title at HW, that's fine, but rjj has no business in the ring still....unless he wants to avenge one of his losses. hopkins is a prick for taking this fight tho.
it still amazes me that some of you really believe roy's gonna pull it off. upsets happen, so the fights have to be fought, but in order to beat hopkins, the first thing you need is a decent chin, IMO. and rjj hasn't got one.
Hahaha Roy Jones beating B-Hop. Hopkins is going to knock Jones out. Jones is gonna have to run like a scared girl if he wants to win, and pot shot Hopkins. But I just don't see how he can do it. His age says hes only 5 years younger then Hopkins. But it looks like Hopkins is 10 years younger then Roy jones haha.

Ya'll must have forgot that the fight is Saturday night and tomorrow is Friday.
