How did they get that scoring?

Nazim hit the nail on the head in the corner when he said that Roy was only there to try to survive an say he went 12 rounds, I gave 1 round to Roy and that was the 5th or the 6th I believe.

Where you guys giving rounds to Hopkins just because? He wasn't landing the better punches in many of the rounds, and he wasn't bombarding Roy with punches ala Joe Calzaghe, and after the first 4 or 5 rounds Roy started hitting Hopkins with uppercuts on the inside pretty much everytime. Most of Bernard's combinations were just hitting Roy on the gloves and arms.

Yeah, Jones started to try and do some work on the inside after realising he was being completely nullified in the opening 4. A lot of good uppercuts were getting through. I also saw a fair few straight rights from Jones landing flush. The problem for Jones was also that he was just too gun shy. It reminded me of Jones/Tarver 3 a little in that sense. The fight was there to be won if he could have thrown a bit more because I just do not believe that Hopkins has the stamina to keep up. But those roughhouse tactics of Hopkins are just awful and can throw anyone off their game. Both guys look pretty done to me at this stage.

I only gave Roy 2 rounds, he did seem like he was just trying to survive. Shit fight, the only positive thing that can be said is it wasn't as bad as their first one.

Well I am not sure there, with all the dirty stuff and Cirque du Soleil prowess by Hopkins, it was a show of an epic size WWE-wise.

I haven't seen it yet, I crashed about 1am. What were the actual scores fellas?

[rjj tszyu]

Haven't seen it and don't want to see it. They both fought each other when they were approaching their primes and Jones won with one hand. Hopkins has clearly aged the better of the 2 but had they fought the rematch in 2001 when they were originally going to Jones would have schooled him again. It was a farce of a fight from the moment it was signed and by the sounds of what i have read it was a terrible fight and all i hope to see Roy doing from now on is promoting or rapping or whatever he plans to do with the rest of his life as long as it doesn't involve being in the ring with people that were never good enough to even mention his name in his prime.

Loopsided decision for Hopkins 117-110, 117-110, 118-109 into a circus and foulfest of epic proportions.

I second that, usually I root for the American fighters but Bernard embarrassed himself with all that acting…. A pathetic show and a big robbery….
