Hopkins V Jones in February

[True Guru]

Its easy to look fast against the awful slow Jeff Lacy but Roy is completely done,Thats blindingly obvious.
He wasnt just beat by Calzageh he was ****kin embarrassed.
Watch Hopkins v Calzaghe and then watch Jones v Calzaghe
The difference is hillariously obvious.

The difference is that Bernard clinches nonstop.. and Roy refuses to clinch.

cmon as a fan u know Roy was shot like 5 years ago.

I'd be tempted to say Roy on a decision but i think there's 2 things stopping that:

1) Hopkins will use his various cheating ways (headbutts, low blows, whatever) to get it his way.

2) Roy's stamina, not sure if it's up for the full 12 rounds.

Roys very past prime, but still a good fighter... not great like he once was... but he still has some of his tools... he can very well lose to Bernard.. Im not gauranteeing any type of win... but I dont believe its the one sided massacre people think it is.

Bernard will be 45 with a 17 month layoff...

BHOP looked great against Pavlik, but now he has been super inactive again. Not sure Roy will win, but he has a better chance now being that Bhop has not fought.

I hope this is not true, I would've liked for Jones to have actually earned a rematch with Hopkins... I guess he did a good job getting under Bernard's skin if this is true.




It's a bit of a slap to his face. Here he his busting his ass beating the big names at over 40, and he can't even get the benefit of the doubt in a fantasy return match by many even though Jones had the biggest slide in the sport atm!

...thats because everybody knows that hopkins made his name off beating up undersized big name fighters and loses to fighters his size and bigger with equal talent..

[Bhopreign]

Better late than never I guess.

Roy's getting KO'ed one final time. This will surely convince him to retire.

Now you know Roy loves it in there.

Against a fast fighter like Joe who throws 1000+ Punches a fight... its hard to deal with, and Roys stamina was effected... against Bernard, whose workrate is the same as Roys, and who is going to stand there and try to box Roy... thats a good fight for Roy.
