    I see Roy getting beat pretty clearly unless Hopkins age finally catches up with him.

    Hopkins UD.

      If it did, then it would be an even fight. Jones' age passed him up sometime around 2004.

      I think Jones still has the style to beat Hopkins. Want to bet on it hoping it doesn't jinx the fight?

          There may be a few feeling out rounds, but before the midway point I think Hop will start to land his right hand, and due to the money on the line I think he'll step up the pace and score a TKO after about 8 rounds.

            At this point, something like 50-100K. That may change depending on the results of Dec 2nds fights though. Like, I may give you odds if Hops looks old and you may give me odds if Jones squeeks bye or something like that. Make sense? Deal?

              Not a bad prediction, I just don't think Hopkins has enough left in the tank to stop Roy if he couldn't stop a weaker than crap Pavlik over a year ago. Remember, Hopkins will be 45 at the time the fight happens and will have not faced a contender in about a year and a half. That's bound to hurt him in this fight.

                How about for the time being lets have a 100k bet.

                After their Dec 2nd bout, we can made adjustments to our bets based on how they perform.

                deal ?

                  Comes down to who has more left? After the Pavlik bout I would lean towards B-Hop.

                    B-Hop is going to beat living crap out of Roy Jones Jr

                      Ya know what, I've got a better idea. How about 80k vs 80k and an additonal 40k to the winner if by KO, like the fight purse itself? That makes it true to the spirit of the fight. Deal? If so, PM me and I'll sig it right away.

                      And we can still make adjustments to our bets based on how they perform after Dec 2nd.
