Does Anyone Think Bernard Hopkins Beat RJJ ?

[ICB]

I see Trainer Monkey say this and a few other members, im honestly shocked people say this. I rewatched this a couple of days ago just incase i missed something but i didn't.

116-112 or 117-111 in favor of RJJ, RJJ did give a few rounds away late on. But overall i thought he controlled Bernard Hopkins without much trouble ?

I saw this fight once and it was around 2005, i thought Jones won pretty comfortably, even Nard himself says he lost that fight.

[mrodub]

Not only did he win he did it with one handed because he injured his hand during the fight

it was close 115-113 i think but i havent seen it for a few years.

Well that's just silly.

I saw an interview the other day where Hopkins himself said Roy beat him (he don't think Taylor or Calzaghe did).

reread my other post bro on the other read.
I personally think after a re watch the fight actually gets closer as it goes. I don't have roy near as effective as i thought he was after snoring through it the first time (5 dollars to whoever stayed awake, lol)

But again, I think Bernards admittance to losing the fight has alot to do with his inability to get comfortable. A lot of times fighters won't dispute a decision that isn't in their favor if they were never comfortable - because it "feels" like a loss.

Not even sure why you made a thread for this lol. A few peoples oppinions on another viewing of a fight shouldn't warrant a discussion imo.

How could you fall asleep through it, it was a great tactical fight, they were both thinking so much in there it was amazing to see them go up against eachother. I have never seen to fighters as thoughful as these two, and it was evident in how they fought eachother.

Ask around.. You will be very lucky to find anyone who didnt have the urge to fall asleep during this fight. Everyone admits it was boring for a reason. It's one thing to be technical, it's another to stare at each other.

i think hopkins would beat him now

[mrodub]

I will wait until after calzage jones to hazard a guess at b hop jones have to be careful in case he beats calzage then its a case of foot in the mouth LOL

[Spicoli]

No way.I dug up scoresheet....ugh....and I had it 116-113.And that even sounds a bit off.Thats one where I may have even "Looked" for rounds to credit Hopkins with btw .Have not watched it in a couple of years but Jones was to much,too fast & Hopkins too green in the big time.

Btw,what does it say about heavyweights being over hyped and spoon fed......this was Secondary bout to that heavyweight all time classic.....Bowe/Ferguson

[Boom Boom]

Roy definately won, but it wasnt a fight where you got the feeling that Roy would beat him 10 out of 10 times if they fought again. It was more of a chess match with Roy making the better moves.

[WelshDevilRob]

Roy won IMO.
