I think Bernard will carry Roy to a decision.

if hopkins doesn't brutally destroy RJJ, it will be a disgrace and hurt Bhop when he decides to fight the winner of Haye/Ruiz.

people are gonna say: "he can't even KTFO a shot RJJ, what business does he have fighting the winner of Haye/Ruiz".

yea. i don't look for an early KO, but i expect b-hop to whoop on roy, the way calzaghe did, and then KO him late in the fight. i think after this, roy decides to hang 'em up, which would be good.

if he KO's him early, the flipside is, people are going to say the fight was a farce etc and didn't mean anything. I reckon a late KO might be best for B-Hop looking to the future.

of course the fight is a farce and doens't mean anything, so bhop might as well KO him early.

the only way I can believe a late KO is good for Bhop, is if Bhop plays with RJJ while dominating him.

if rjj is competitive with bhop that is a disgrace. bhop is better off just KOing rjj fast than playing around with rjj and making rjj like competitive.

BHOP is not a knockout artist. BHOP by brutal decision, I'd actually be quite shocked if he KO'd Roy...

[D-MiZe]

Don't think BHop has stopped anyone seen 04/05 if memory serves? Think the last person BHop stopped was De La Hoya in 9?

[IMDAZED]

lol, you might be right. He is smart though, it'll look like a more legit win for 'nard if he carries him.

No, it won't. Roy got KO'ed in the first round his last fight. No getting around that.

it better be a bad ass beating, worst than the joppy fight. rjj's head better be twice as big and they better take rjj to the hospital afterward and rjj better be in icu for a week.

now compare that with an early KO and its better if hopkins just KOs him early... atleast before round 4 and hopefully it is a brutal tarveresque KTFO.

Hopkins cant knock him out. This fight is going the distance no matter what. Just because a cruiserweight stopped Roy recently doesent mean a 45 year old BHOP can.

hopkins hits harder than glen johnson who knocked roy out cold. he isnt a one punch KO artist but roys punch resistance is so bad these days he doesnt have to be.

hopkins is far from featherfisted, look at his last couple of fights. he wobbled pavlik, dropped calzaghe and had him hurt on several occassions, dropped tarver.. it wasnt a big KD but he stunned him, if he landed that same punch on roy it would be lights out.

he doesnt get KOs cuz hes so careful but in this fight hes a few levels above roy and will be able to go in for the kill without making a risk. he punishes roy for a while then knocks him out when he feels like it, 6-7 rounds is my guess.

i honestly been having this feeling that roy is going to win this fight....

i don't know who to bet for yet.

then u dont know **** about boxing. only way roy wins is if hopkins hurts his ankle or something and is unable to continue.

Hopkins carrying Roy to the finish would be humiliating for Roy personally IMO.
