HOPKINS VS. JONES II WEIGHTS & PREDICTIONS ARE IN!

PhilBoxing.com




The official weights for tomorrow night's stacked Hopkins vs. Jones fight card are in along with a surprising variety of fight predictions from those who know best-other world champions, most of whom have fought one or both Hopkins and/or Jones.

"I think if Roy still has it, he can win on points. Either way it will be close and I would be surprised if there is a stoppage."

-Joe Calzaghe, Unanimous decision over both Hopkins and Jones


"I like both of them, but if I would have to bet I'd pick Roy because of his slickness and speed. Bernard is crafty but I think Roy is going to be sharper and quicker in this one. Roy in a decision."

- Winky Wright, Decision loss to Hopkins


"Jones has more speed and more power than Bernard. Jones by decision."

- Glen Johnson, Jones KO 9th Round



"Roy will outbox Hopkins and win eight rounds to four."

- James Toney, Decision loss to Jones


"Roy Jones will outbox Bernard. Roy in a decision."

- Buddy McGirt, Former World Champion
