    Will Hopkins-Jones be a candidate of the boringest fight EVER?

    I can't imagine how boring this fight will ****ing be!

    In Jones last fight, he was hardly throwing, he was just trying to survive! He was only punching when Tarver got on him...

    We all know how Hopkins doesn't have a high punch output and runs around for the first few rounds....


    What you guys think?

    I think it will be a little better than expected I mean Jones probably won't be nearly as gun shy of Hopkins as he was Tarver.....and they both have to really want to win it will probably be both of thems last fight.........At least I hope.

      Is there a precedent for a boring first fight and an exciting rematch? Trying to think of one.....

        I disagree, Jones's last fight was supposed to be his career defining fight, all he did was run around the ring, avoiding contact as much as possible...What a bust...

            It will be boring.
            Hopkins style dictates it, and Jones will still be gunshy.
            Most boringest fight ever? Maybe.

                  I didn't buy into that Tarver-Jones III crap for a minute. If Roy wanted to fight, Tarver would have KO'ed him. I figured Roy was gonna try to outpoint him and counted on him getting an undeserving decision, but nope, justice prevailed for Tarver in 2005

                    Jones-Tarver III
                    Hopkins-Taylor II

                    Both = BUSTS!

                    Both the fighters that caused it to be a bust are fighting each other...

                    Ever hear...2 negatives makes a positive?.....I doubt it...
