i think joppy did. they had a similar deal where if joppy didn't get knocked out he would get an extra 100k. probably just marketing scamola though.

They indeed had a deal exactly like the one you mention.

Hopkins paid up the 100K to Joppy after the fight, as well.

He earned every bit of it, IMO ; Bernard beat the living **** out of him in that one.

At this point of their careers, I don't think much gets under their skin, BUT, with the history of the two - sure it is getting to Hop even just a little. Advantage.

advantage, but that does not guarantee anything ...

hopkins seems like a poised fighter so i think it would be a disadvantage.

It's a disadvantage for Jones, i.e. William Joppy

its a disadvantage,jones best chance of winning is by outworking and landing more on a unactive hopkins
if it goes too war,i cant see bhop losing

I'm going to say advantage. Hopkins is not a KO fighter, so if Roy has him looking for that knockout it will make it easier for Roy to box and make Hopkins look bad.
