After 17 years they will face each other again. Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins.They face off again tonight at 6pm PST for a re-match in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. Jones wins in a 12-round 2 decades ago. And also from that fight gave me his world title.
During their Prime, they were both greats. Jones is 41 and Hopkins age 45.With Hopkins recorded 20 belts. Jones on his glory days defeated James Toney and Reggie Johnson and other great athletes on his The Roy Jones Jr. vs Bernard Hopkins Online Fight will be the deciding factor not on the Belt but for Pride and Glory.Now, belts don't really matter at all, but pride is on the line.
Jones is considered the underdog in this fight with 4-1 odds, however, and there's a little worry that someone will get seriously hurt in the match. Still, it should prove to be an exciting fight. A few thousand people showed up to the weigh-in yesterday, and they're expecting a packed house when the gloves go on tonight.
