Hopkins-Jones,can Jones win?

[ElTerribleMorales]

Yes I believe Roy can win.

He has to use his speed and combos to out work Hopkins from the outside and flurry when they get on the inside like he did against Lacy.

Also he must avoid the counter right hand of Hopkins, which Bernard will be setting him up for all night.

If he can do that then I think he can decision B-Hop.

He is STILL faster than Hopkins.

And Hopkins has not fought someone faster than him in a 5 years.

but Hopkins still has his timing, something Jones clearly doesn't as was evident against Calzaghe

[God.in.my.corner]

I give Roy a 10% chance of winning.

Roys already made his bed. He will be off to sleep again.

[Stale_hotdog]

No way no how Jones even has a chance to win this. His only hope at avoiding another brutal KAYO is if the fight gets canceled or if Hopkins slips on a banana peel on his way to the ring.

[Master]

I hope Roy pulls the victory and B Hop will be vengeful, bitter and twisted for the rest of his life.

[killersheep]

Hopkins could get DQed, I think that's Roy's best shot.

Absolutely, that is the best possible result. Jones has kind of muddled on through these past few years, but Hopkins really looked quite mediocre last time out himself. He has a chance in this and isn't facing a cruiserweight. It's an old Hopkins with a low output and a tendency to sleep for at least a few rounds in all of his fights.
