    in the end, RJJ actually won the fight

    1) RJJ didn't get KTFO like so many were predicting

    2) RJJ still got purse parity

    3) RJJ went 12 rounds with a p4p top 5 boxer

    In the end this fight was still meaningless and ripped off the many fans at home and especially the audience at Mandalay Bay…

      I will say that RJJ didn't get dominated in the least, he just got out worked and outclassed. At times it looked like if Jones wasn't gun shy and afraid to pull the trigger he could dominate bhop

        1. Roy never came to win, he came to last 12. It's hard to stop a guy when he is as over catious as Roy was.

        2.good for him.

        3. He went 12 with Joe Calzaghe in 08 who was ranked 3 P4P i think. It means nothing.

          Exactly. Hopkins didn't even sound very happy about the victory. Its almost shameful that he didn't get a KO, or anything close. He never even had him hurt.

          But at the end of the day, the entire thing was pointless and should have never happened. B-Hop should be ashamed of himself right now. Both need to retire NOW.

            in the end, nobody won. not the fighters, not mandalay bay, not the promoters, not the fans.
            it was fail on all fronts.

              **** was pretty sad. He didn't even seem disappointed or sad that he lost by a wide margin.

              He's had the loser beat into him. That's some journeymen mentality, I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps fighting.

                Hopkins hasn't stopped anybody since Oscar De La Hoya, a guy who's last fight was at WW. Lol come on he wasn't gonna stop Jones even if Roy was tied to a ring post with his chin out for Hopkins to get free hits.

                    Hopkins was in a lose-lose situation and manged to come out even worse with all the antics.
