Hopkins RJJ round by round

[lefthook31]

Guys are getting taped up. Fight should start in about 30-40 minutes

[lefthook31]

Undercard has been pretty good. Rocky Juarez Jason Litzau fighting now. Litzau fighting a suprisingly composed fight from his usual wide open brawling style.

[lefthook31]

Litzau cut by a headbutt. Fight was stopped. Cut was below the eye, kind of a BS stoppage as Litzau was fading badly and wins the technical decision.

[lefthook31]

Here come the old farts. Jones walking out first

[Caponecartels]

Jones walking to the ring.

Seems a little tense.

[Caponecartels]

[PhillyPhan69]

are you doing the round by round or am I?:?

Don't want to see ya get your thread stolen, but its always nice to get more than 1 persons veiws

[lefthook31]

Round 1 both guys tenative and tight, look slow as hell. Round 1 to Jones barely.

[Caponecartels]

that last right hand that landed for Jones won for him imo.

[lefthook31]

Round 2 Hopkins
Still not a lot of action. Jones already falling back to the ropes and looking slow. Hes cut on the left eye and fighting with his hands very low. Jones seemed to get hurt a little.

[lefthook31]

Jones has to be more active, Hopkins is looking for one big shot

[Caponecartels]

Round 2 goes to Hopkins.

All Jones did was jab and a lead left hook (which missed).
Hopkins was much more active, even pushed him back to the ropes with a right hand.

[Boxed Ears]

Round 2 Hopkins
Still not a lot of action. Jones already falling back to the ropes and looking slow. Hes cut on the left eye and fighting with his hands very low. Jones seemed to get hurt a little.

Oh, jeez. In the second round?!

[lefthook31]

Round 3 Hopkins barely

Jones looks like a sitting duck with his hands very low and he looks very slow. Hopkins cant pull the trigger either. Both guys look like total garbage. Jones really needs to keep his hands up.

[Caponecartels]

Another Hopkins round.
If Jones was little hurt in Round 2 he seems fine now.

Hopkins throwing some nice one two's.
Jones HAS to throw punches.

[JohnThomas1]

Hopkins not ignoring the body.

[lefthook31]

Round 4 Hopkins barely again

Jones trying all his old tricks but in slow motion. Hopkins is coming forward Jones is trying to catch him with the little check hook thats not working really.

[Caponecartels]

Round 4 to Hopkins.

Dug some good body punches in the first part of the round.
Jones finally opens up in the last 40 seconds, but to no avail.

[JohnThomas1]

Jones wins this round

[lefthook31]

Round 5 Jones
Hopkins fighting dirty hitting low headbutting and leaning on Jones. Jones landed the cleanest punch of another shit round. Jones just cant pull the trigger and Hopkins is really tenative. Terrible low blow that wasnt seen.

[JohnThomas1]

Hopkins got a blatant low blow when the ref was blindsided. Hopkins near 4-1 for me.

[Caponecartels]

Round 5 for Jones

Jones threw a couple of lead rights but none landed.
Hopkins was content to hold for most of the round, with Jones throwing multiple uppercuts.
Hopkins doing some nice bodywork near the end of the round.

[rekcutnevets]

just gave my 1st round to jones

[tommygun711]

sounds like I'm not missing anything spectacular. thank god.

[JohnThomas1]

Hopkins hit in the back of the head and down.

[lefthook31]

Down goes Hopkins on a wuss move from getting hit behind the head. Sissy move here comes the fight doctor. Hopkins laying on the canvas. Didnt look too big of a deal.

[JohnThomas1]

Illegal blow.

[Caponecartels]

Hopkins is a quite a fucking actor.

[JohnThomas1]

Point deducted.

[lefthook31]

Jones and ref Weeks laughing at Hopkins. Ref takes a point. Hopkins acting surprisingly hurt.

[JohnThomas1]

WOW! Hopkins goes berko!

[Caponecartels]

One point deduction for Jones.

[JohnThomas1]

Ref struggles to split em at the end. It's now game on.

[lefthook31]

FIghting after the belll Hopkins hitting him while the ref is in the middle. ITs finally exciting. :lol: Tyson Holyfield 2!!

[tommygun711]

Hopkins is a quite a fucking actor.

:lol

[My2Sense]

Fucking Hopkins being a bitch... as usual. :roll:

[Caponecartels]

Who the fuck was that?

[Caponecartels]

Anyway...

That was a 10-8 round for Hopkins

[lefthook31]

Roy rejunvinated by a crazy end of the round Jones deducted a point obviously lost the round. Hopkins hits at the end of the bell

[lefthook31]

My computer is really slow Jones looks so horribly shot and slow and Hopkins still needs to foul the hell out of him. Hopkins is comfortably ahead. Wins the round

[Caponecartels]

Hopkins Round.

[lefthook31]

Jones could win this fight just by flcking a jab. Hopkins is doing nothing but just enough to win the round.

Hopkins hits jones on the back of the head and Jones does the same Down goes Hopkins again. :?

[lefthook31]

Hopkins being a super bitch

[JohnThomas1]

And another.

[Caponecartels]

Oscar fucking worthy Hopkins.

[lefthook31]

I guess Hopkins wins round 8. THis is really a terrible fight. Hopkins is looking to get Jones Dq'd after he initiates the fouls.

[tony mush]

where did the other thread go?

[JohnThomas1]

Close round, maybe Jones. Hopkins winning comfortably.

[lefthook31]

ROund 9 JOnes

Neither guy throwing much of anything or taking chances. Jones landed three good righthands and thats about it.

[lefthook31]

Hopkins down again this time from a low blow. Hopkins should be dq'd for being a total bitch. Hes acting so bad what an embarrassment. Hes got a corpse in front of him and hes just being a bitch

[Caponecartels]

Hopkins round.

Or maybe Jones.

who gives a fuck.

[Caponecartels]

Lowblow.

You fucking bitch Hopkins.

[lefthook31]

Round 10 close giving it to Jones for Hopkins horrible acting even though he won the second half.

[djanders]

Hopkins round.

Or maybe Jones.

who gives a fuck.

:lol:

[lefthook31]

Round 11 Jones calls time out from a Hopkins headbutt:lol:

[Boxed Ears]

This sounds like maybe the most pathetic fight of the year.

[lefthook31]

Round 11 Hopkins for Jones doing nothing. Hopkins looking to foul on the inside.

[Caponecartels]

Seeing Duran in the crowd was probably the most interesting thing
I've seen in this entire fight (barring the "brawl" that happened a couple of round back)

[lefthook31]

Round 12 Jones

Maybe Im giving Jones a little extra credit for being so shot and Hopkins not being able to do anything about it. Hopkins is so insecure its pitiful. This is worse than not fighting Jones for 17 years its going to haunt him forever.

Hopkins UD

Jones wins for being a real competitor for having nothing left.

[JohnThomas1]

Hopkins wins easy.

[JohnThomas1]

Decider anyone LMAO

[lefthook31]

Jones 1000000% should retire.

Hopkins should strongly consider it, he looked terrible. The crowd is booing Hopkins during the interview.

[TheGreatA]

Embarrassing performance by Hopkins. Just not a good event for boxing at all.

[Caponecartels]

who the hell is this 38% who though Jones won?

[lefthook31]

Not sure whats wrong with Hopkins but hes horribly insecure about Jones. Hopkins says he wants Haye. Haye will probably decapitate him.

[TheGreatA]

The Haye fight will be over by the first rabbit punch. Not a wise choice of opposition by Hopkins although I guess that winning a heavyweight title is the only thing that can motivate him at this point.

[Caponecartels]

Well folks that sucked.
On to waiting for Mayweather-Mosley.

[doug.ie]

i've seen worse fights....and hopkins was great..a wiley old fox, every trick in the book...i cant help but admire him....

[anarci]

Embarrassing performance by Hopkins. Just not a good event for boxing at all.
Sounds like the fight went as predicted, thats why i didnt bother buying it or looking for anyone that had the fight.:-(

[ricardinho]

Anarci... out of the entire 12 rounds maybe 60 seconds total could be called quality. Hopkins played it safe...and Roy did not even try

[bodhi]

Not sure whats wrong with Hopkins but hes horribly insecure about Jones. Hopkins says he wants Haye. Haye will probably decapitate him.

Well, Jones is the only one, bar the guy in his debut, that really beat him in his opinion. Maybe that got into his head. It sounds as if he was desperate at least.

So, Hopkins finally looked his age?

[Meast]

I only caught the end as I fell asleep, judging by what I've read I'm glad

[Kalasinn]

Thanks for the round by round lefthook.

[lefthook31]

So, Hopkins finally looked his age?

Yes big time. I think Hopkins should retire. He really was way out of character. You could really see how far Jones was gone. When a fighter starts to skip and wobble on his feet like Jones was doing it was clear his legs are totally gone. The fact that Hopkins couldn't capatilize on that should be a clear indication that he should stop himself. He's going to rewatch that fight and be very embarrassed. I think he did more damage to his legacy than helping it by fighting, fouling and acting like he did.

[frankenfrank]

Oh, jeez. In the second round?!
with wright it was the first round.

[Stevie G]

I was n't even interested in watching this one. Sad.
