What was the difference between hop-jones I & hop-jones II?

[SplitSecond]

besides a different victor?
watch the first fight, if roy isn't outpointing and outboxing hopkins and moving side to side it's hops fight which is on the ropes with jones holding hops head so it doesn't smash into his face and hop is ripping him to the body
hopkins fought EXACTLY the same, except roy had no legs this time around

prime jones withg two hands would knock the **** outta hopkins

green my ass

But Roy was prime and Hopkins was completely inexperienced! LMAO.

Roy before moving back down to heavyweight had the speed and reflexes to always beat Hopkins. No matter when they fought Roy would be too hard to hit for Hopkins and be able to land more.

rjj/bhop I: bhop = aggressor, rjj = counterpuncher

rjj/bhop II: bhop = counterpuncher, rjj = aggressor

the difference is roy use to fight to win, he use to let his hands go. Now he just feints and does alot of posturing. Roy use to go all out if he thought he could lose like in the first fight with Tarver. Ever since tarver knocked roy out in may 2004, hes never been the same. Besides against lesser fighters...

Difference was Roy is shot/past prime now and he was the underdog. The first fight was a tough fight and was both fighters first title shot.

About 17 years.

The difference is Roy has suffered 3 knockout losses since and now he's afraid to let his hands go. Back in 1993 Roy had not been knocked out yet so he didnt have that fear of what could come back to him if he missed.

17 years.......?

Maybe....

Just a guess.

**** outta here with that hopkins was inexperienced. they had bout same record the only thing hopkins never faced was someone like roy. bhop was the same way and ripped thru the division after roy n toney left.

how was roy any more experienced than bhop on that night? that fight was boring so was rematch the only difference besides the winner was roy threw less punches and posed more.
