I think his timing and legs are there.....but as has been my problem last few yrs...so is the waiting and appreciating his own work too much.He really has had Ornelas in check for last half of fight,cat and mouse.Think he might close it IF he pushed it.Has not relied entirely on right hand also,good mix.

Hopkins thinks Australia is in Europe.
I had that 118-110 for Hopkins, only could really give Ornelas rounds 1 & 4. I think he could've taken him out, but I suspect like Mayweather against Marquez, he held back a bit to get the rounds in. This wasn't as impressive as that though, Ornelas is much better than many give him credit for, I thought he beat McKart, Soliman & Rubio & I would consider him a similar calibre of opponent to Danny Green.
Man, watching Jones there is painful. Haha @ Hopkins, no way is the Jones-Hopkins fight going to happen, it's Roy's own fault for not throwing back. B-Hop's take on geography is a bit lacking, he seems to think Australia is in Europe :-\
I just spent 12 rounds respecting Hopkins the fighter....now it wavered big watching that interview,man...:-X...he is pissed Roy got stopped.
Did I just hear that right Hopkins call Australia europe? :vd:
;D
So did he look old or rusty? Or both? Or maybe Ornelas looked good, I'm going to download it soon.
really?Quote:

He gives Ornelas credit for landing some nice shots and then says "I'm going to be heavyweight champ of the world in 2010" and then with extra emphasis "HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP"
Yeah that was Caiz Jr. only gave Ornelas credit for one drawn round.Quote:

WTF was he doing in Oz?? Must of been paid well.
Haha, typical American grasp of geography! ;DQuote:

Hopkins was the same old Hopkins. He started very slowly, but had his opponent throwing less and gradually landed more and more. He actually looked decent down the stretch, but he looked bigger than his opponent at all times. It was like a puffed up sparring session with Hopkins in control.
I'll challenge you to a geography quiz anyday.Quote:

I would have stopped the fight too. RJJ looked like a saw horse position after the knockdown. A puncher like Green unloading with nothing coming back from Roy, what's the point? He just collapsed from a glancing blow. The Hopkins of tonight, stops the Jones of tonight within 4 rounds.
Hopkins clearly won the fight. I had it 118-110. You could of probably of given Ornelas 4 rounds of the fight.
Hopkins was rusty the first few rounds which was expected but stepped it up after round 5.
Ornelas was very tough and landed a few nice shots, Hopkins still has some pop, He was able to hurt Ornelas a few times.
You might well know your geography, but I would take on Hopkins in a flash! His only chance would be to flail at me headfirst while I ponder my answer.Quote:

I've no complaints with any of your points about the Jones fight really, it was a sorry affair.
It may be hard to recall the capital of Ethiopia while getting uppercutted with a chin on the back of your head.Quote:
