    Maybe I misunderstood, but I'd guess Calzaghe might do the same to Hopkins again. I don't think Hopkins really lost his way. He just got older. I'd guess that Roy might be able to do better, however. He seemed to freeze in spots, which simply looked wrong.

        In a way, this way might be better. We already know how it would have been when they were young. They already fought! Jones is more hittable now, so it may be more interesting.

          I saw the omar and lacy fight, I'm talking bout b-hop vs Roy fight in seeing the combos. Not against scrubs and never have Beens like omar and lacy.. Cuz as much as Roy talks bout doing sumthing in the ring I want to actually SEE it when he fights a top tier talent like EX..

            Sure, neither of those are at Bernard's level. Roy admitted to that himself. Pretty obvious. But the point is that it(combos/flash) is there, should he choose to use it.

              This would be a tactical fight, neither fighter would want to engage. So, i guess they will pick their shots and if the opportunity comes they will grab it.

                Jones - Split Decision. However I think it could easily go either way

                    aw man, I'm gonna be nervous as hell during his fight with the Australian. I just hope Roy doesn't *** around. This close to seeing Hopkins and Jones fight, I would be PISSED if Jones gets caught and dropped like a sack of potatoes!

                    I wouldn't even chance it if I were Jones. He should cancel that fight and get prepared for Hopkins!

                      This fight has been long overdue. Hopefully it makes a great fight.
