    roy's going to have to move more in this fight---he can't let b hop figure out his movement, coz hopkins will rush that right hand lead and roy can'r just depend on his faster hands to just stand and counter---he has great speed without being on his toes, but roy's downfall was his lack of consistent movement once his style was figured out and timed----he has to move more--work more on his cardio---his handspeed is still sharp, but his timing isn't anymore, and roy still has power, great speed and power, but hopkins is so masterful at taking speed away from fighters, and making them change their minds before they think they have him cornered, coz he knows how to close the distance to where he wants to be---roy knows this isn't 1993, and hopkins improved so much, and he has to be prepared for a guy who still has a lot of fight left in his tank and can knock roy out if roy gets caught clean---roy has to work that chicken head movement with his feet and time hopkin's timing, coz b hop will clinch and fight a little rough to upset roy, who has complained in the past, and got frustrated---roy hates to get hit and look bad coz of his arrogance---well, he has tasted defeat and has been shattered in the past---it's time for him to realize he's human and make the adjustments to be reborn again a good fighter, with something left in his tank---if he loses this fight, he should hang it up---but in boixng, it's hard, especially after a loss to hang it up---i have b hop for now winning this fight, because he's so much smarter now----but you never know with roy----

        Only chance roy has is popping the jab and moving if bhop backs him into a corner he might get koed.

          Thats cool how he can look like that at 41. Physically, he looks better than Hopkins did at 41, Hopkins was looking aged in the Tarver fight. I hope I can move like Roy and still be athletic when I am 41.

              Thanks for posting the video. I know that B-Hop and Roy aren't exactly top tier contenders now and this fight should have happened at least 5 years ago, but I'm still excited for it. I don't have the money to order it (going to Vegas and was hoping to see this fight live, but they changed the date... yes, mad), but I'm thinking of hitting a bar or something to see it.


              By the way, did anyone else notice that Roy skips rope funny? He holds the handles pretty far out in front of his body.

                Is it not great that people call the 40 yearold guy washed up and the 46 year old is not,now onto Roys power it seems to be gone to me who has he really hurt in recent times beyond anextremely shot overweight trinidad.

                    Of course man, he's in his forties now. Speeds the first to go.

                      Looking much better. I hope Roy is preparing for the best Hopkins.
