what happened is hopkins just beat out Dirrell for this year's academy awards (more like Razzie) nominations.
Hopkins deliberately and obviously hit roy with low blows but when Ref wasn't looking so he didnt' get caught. Then Hopkins gets hit in the back of the head and he falls down and starts crying and acting unconscious and rolls around on the floor. Roy is deducted a point and the fight is delayed for like 5 minutes...they fight on afterwards. Hopkins a bit later hits Roy obviously on the back of the head, Roy retaliates and hits him back on the back of the head again Hopkins falls down and acts unconscious, fight delayed again for 5 minutes and ref is warning to DQ Jones. Hopkins also then slugs it out with Roy after the bell and the benches clear so to speak security rushes the ring and basically teh fight stops for a while cus they both brawl after the bell.
Fight continues, Hopkin later gets hit in the balls with a low blow, he falls again and stops the fight again for another good 5 minutes while he rolls around acting like he's dying.
In between all this entertaining **** they mostly hugged each other and maybe 1 or 2 clean punches landed in the entire fight but Hopkins clearly outclassed Jones only because he outworked him and Jones barely ever threw anything. This was no surprise as danny green predicted "Jones will be gun shy after I knocked him out"
so basically Hopkins didn't "dominate" Jones but he clearly outworked him.Comment

This fight was close ish, no one dominated and the cards were too wide. Should have been about 8-4 to Hopkins, 9-3 at the most.Comment

Jones didn't get dominated like I said but Hopkins easily won at least 10-11 rounds out of 12. There was rounds where Hopkins literally beasted on Jones, caught him on the ropes and unloaded and I must admit Hopkins did punish Jones body really bad..Jones probably pissing blood right about now. Jones on the other hand threw maybe 30-40 punches all night long. I'm actually really curious to see compubox it might be a new record for lowest punches thrown by a single fighter. Hopkins was clinching a lot and initiating the clinches BUT he was also initiating the damn exchanges and basically doing all the work. Roy mostly just stalked and bounced around but rarely ever threw anything, seemingly going for the one punch knockout the entire time from round 1 onward.Comment
