But, it's about to go down, for money, for pride, for ego and for Bernard Hopkins to exorcise a demon for long ago. Roy Jones was set to go down as one of the greatest fighters ever, but he stayed around too long and started getting knocked the F out! B-Hop has aged like fine wine, but with a boring style that has made me fall asleep for far too many rounds. That is a bad combination!
I don't know anyone that's ordered this fight and like a Black Eyed Peas album, no one is going to claim to have purchased it. But somewhere, in someone's living room, a group of boxing fanatics are huddled around a television rocking baggy jeans with "Ready to Die" playing in the background, anticipating this fight like it's 1995. Maybe these geezers will have a double knockout and take each other out of their misery.
*Update* Bernard Hopkins won by unanimous decision in what has been described as a boring fight, with brief moments of excitements and Roy Jones fighting a little dirty. The 45-year-old Hopkins saw spots before his eyes starting the 12th round and Jones was lethargic the entire fight according to observers. Both fighters were taken to the hospital after the fight in sure-shot signs that they need to call it quits. I hope they do, because I never want to see either of them in the ring again.
