""WILL HOPKINS PULL FINAL TRIGGER ON ROY?
Las Vegas, NV- Neil Young?s lyrics about the end of rock and roll careers in ?Hey Hey My My? could equally apply to boxers?: ?It?s better to burn out than it is to rust.? We?ll forever remember the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain as young men, their early demises forever freezing their youthful images and actually enhancing their stardom and legends. Boxer?s careers on the other hand, as we?ve learned time and again, all too often turn to rust. Although the stature of Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammand Ali have remained intact, who can forget the image of Rocky Marciano knocking an old Louis through the ropes? Or of Robinson carried back to his corner after almost collapsing in the heat against Joey Maxim? Or of Ali helplessly taking a beating at the hands of his old sparring partner Larry Holmes? For six years, we?ve witnessed a rusted once-great in Roy Jones, Jr. take unnecessary beatings to the point where our only hope for him Saturday night against Bernard ?the Executioner? Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KOs) is to escape without permanent damage.
END IS NEAR FOR ROY?S CAREER/GOOD HEALTH
One reason stands above all others as to why Jones has little chance this weekend against Hopkins: Fighters don?t get un-shot. While Hopkins has preserved himself with less abuse on his body and brain, in large part due to his technical mastery, Jones? career was effectively over when he leapfrogged to the heavyweight division for his WBA title win in 2003 over John Ruiz, followed by dropping over 30 pounds back to light heavyweight. Almost no one, especially an aging fighter, can endure severe weight losses. Antonio Tarver, who famously questioned Jones? excuse-making in their rematch, has never been the same since he put on 40+ pounds to take on Rocky Balboa. Like Jones, Chris Byrd had no legs under him when he dropped to 175 a couple years back, nor did Oscar De La Hoya when he returned to 147 against Manny Pacquiao. Perhaps he didn?t quite know it yet, but when Jones went to heavyweight and then back to light heavyweight, his career was over, just like that.".....

makes a ton of sense to me...
Roy is shot for sure, but Hopkins isn't the best puncher so maybe a late stoppage. All depens on how shot Roy is... if he is really shot maybe he will even not be able to take the first real hit...
hmm I could not find a good line on Hopkins in early rounds(just spend a few bugs o the first), that the reason why I mainly stick to my nice double chance in the late rounds... in uncertain situations it is very often the best decision to stick so a save play with low risk but hughe upside... I know DC do not work out that often but within the last few month they happend a lot (at least to me). In the end who knows... maybe Roy can survive all 12 rounds and we get a close dec. or a draw? :0corn
btw. Do you guys know if/when 5d will offer more lines on Haye?
I am wondering the same thing. I am hoping they offer odds on Haye decision and Haye KO.
:toast:
Just to have some indications...
A lot of books already have Haye by Ko/TKO/DQ... currently at around -160
and Haye by Dec. at around +250
I am really looking forward to this weekend could be a nice one.
btw. Ghost you may have a look at Arnaoutis (straight +300 or by dec. at around +550...) maybe worth a small play besides the Draw
