How close was Jones vs Hopkins 1?

[them_apples]

The reason people think Jones won easily is because they think hes actually landing his punches. half the time hes not and even when he does they aren't that great of connects. Poppy has good defense. If Jones had this so easily he didn't he go and stop Hopkins? he was on his Bike near the end, coasting trying not to get caught.

Jones didn't win easy because no one won anything that resembled a prize fight.

Hopkins quit the fight in the fourth round and Jones was content to let him.

Not as obvious as Leonard-Duran III but the same principle, one not willing to try and the other content to let the 'experts say he won easy.

The posters on this site are easily fooled by style over substance. Punch counters which get excited when their guy wiggles his ass. They call it owning his opponent. LOL
