    This should be a really fun event. I really look forward to the buildup and even the fight itself.

    I can see Jones Jr dazzling the judges with spurts of razzle dazzle speed, whilst Hopkins struggles to impress with his negativity. I think the Pavlik fight is made into more than what it actually was. It was like Mayweather/Marquez in that you had a man comfortable in his weight making a smaller man come up 2 weight divisions. And there you have it, the more comfortable man made it count.

    Hopkins hasn't fought a proper LHW in ages and I think it might show in this one. Jones Jr is still quite a bit younger and that handspeed is still there. He protects his chin far better than in recent fights too.

    Which is why I think he wouldn't go for a 60-40 split to the winner. He's been at the bad end of decisions he certainly felt were unjust. 50-50 and 60-40 to a winner by KO is fine by him.
    To the brave belong all things.

    yawn

    Sorry. This fight does not really interest me. Is there a point here I'm missing?

    I see Jones leaning on the ropes. Hopkins having to move forward into range. Jones may throw a few punches, Hopkins counters, and I fall asleep thinking about how good this rematch could have been 13 years ago.

    Only way this fight gets interesting is if they decide to 90-10 split the fight for the winner the way fights should be!

    may have a combined age of 83 but they are still the best 2 guys in the division.

    Yes this would of been a hell of a lot better 7-8 years back. But just like lewis-tyson its one of those matchups that whatever the current situation needs to happen just to finally clear things up.

    This SHOULD be the very last hurrah for both guys and i hope the winner and loser goes out on a crown of glory and puts all they can into one last big fight!!
    one dangerous horrible bloke
