Hopkins vs Ornelas on 12/2: Bernard's Tuneup Set

[Hitman932]

I maybe in the minority, or maybe I am the only one. But, I give the IBO belt more value than I do the WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO.

It is debateable. In several divisions the IBO has the real champion.

Their criteria is the best, they rate all fighters (even champs unlike other sanctioning bodies) and therefore give themselves the best chance of picking out the real champ.

Any way you look at it the IBO is devoid of the corruption and politics that plague the WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA.

the bhop jones fight wont happen greens a very strong puncher and with jones going up in weight to face him hes in for a torrid night jones cant do lacy a rope a dope then hit with flurys greens gona get some hits off with that rope a dope crap and green is a lot harder hitter than johnson or tarver am hopeing roy pulls it off cause i see him fairing better against bhop who dont hit all that hard and should be a classic of the golden oldies and if jones beats the two for me shows how good joe calzaghe was and with kessler a defo to win the super 6 that guy beat some world class fall of famers

Yeah RJJ is going up a weight class but Green isn't a real cruiserweight.

Green weighed in at 180 pounds, 20 below the limit, for his last fight. He is and always has been a 168 or 175 lber.

That being said you don't have to be a hard hitter to KO Jones and I think Green could pull it off as well.

Good way for Bernard to shake the rust off. Ornelas isn't awful, but he's pretty east to hit. He lost to Marco Antonio Rubio for crying out loud.

Not much of a tuneup, Hopkins wins this one with one hand tied behind his back.

[Mr. Philadel]

How many of you ****** **** would have skipped one of Sugar Ray Robinson 70 or so tune up type fights?

I can just see you ****sexuals 50 years ago saying, "I'm not going to Madison Square Garden to watch Ray Robinson fight some bum with 9 losses."

Anybody who has a problem with this fight is a ***g*t and can kiss my ass.

Fighters fight, so shut the **** up.

co-sign!!!.....

Yeah, but it gives him a full training camp before the next one. Shake the rust off. The man is absolutely ancient as far as fighters are concerned. He is at the point where he might be the best fighter his age that ever lived.

I don't have anything against Ornelas as his opponent because it is a tuneup fight, GBP also wants him to look real good to market the Jones fight a bit more and he wants to look good in possibly his last fight in Philly. That doesn't mean they couldn't have found someone better though.

[Jiddu Dali]

okay i couldn't resist. He's a middleweight that lost to Marco Antonio Rubio, bronco mccart and sam soliman

WOW
