The EA jinx doesn't work with years what end with 5

I think the curse was reversed since after the eastman fight? But anyways if anything it's probably because b-hop is already 40 yrs old. I noticed his signs of slowing down during his last fight. (Or is it just his tactic?)

Who knows?

I never really believed in the EA jinx when it haunted NFL players like Marshall Faulk, Daunte Culpepper, and Eddie George. Frankly, I just thought all of those guys were over-rated.

But last year, the EA jinx caught up to Roy Jones, and I became a believer. After being on the cover of Fight Night 2004, Roy got KO'd in back to back fights.

Bernard is this year's cover boy, will the EA jinx strike again?

I'll tell you what, if his next fight is vs. Jermain Taylor, I'm betting the mortgage on Bad Intentions to break down the X-man

Nah Hopkins is special in Gods heart, its the other man that is on the fight night round 2 cover that will get struck....If you dont know Ricky Hatton is on the UK version of the game and he is facing Tszyu...OUCH.

I wasn't aware of that, geez Hatton's got enough going against him in that fight, he's too slow and too soft and now he's got a jinx to work thru, there will be much tear-shed in Manchester this Summer

It also doesn't work when you're standing upside down and a cat walks under a ladder during a full moon.....

Madden 95 had John Madden on the cover, but I'm sure you knew that already

I was basically saying that it wouldn't work on Hopkins. So that just makes your comment about Madden '95 irrelevant.

i think if BHop faces JTaylor, it's gonna take more than an jinx to prevent him from losing :-)

LMAO!!!! Spinksjinx, that Hatton Fight Night cover is hilarious. Did you make that or find that on doog house boxing?

The Eastman fight doesn't count because Hopkins fought him prior to the game being released. B Hop better retire right now. Jones showed it doesn't matter if you even fight a ****ty journeyman you can fall victim to the curse.

Let's hope Hatton does fall victim to the Spinksjinx curse. Spinks did...nah he really lost the first fight against Zab too but yeah.

Hopkins gets the EA Jinx!
