The BBC are a fornicating joke.

To be fair Jones didnt box Hopkins ears off, it was reasonably close, I recall making it 7-4 Jones with one round even.

Its all about opinions though.

Lets hope Hopkins makes his swansong appearence by putting a stone on and correcting the matter. :lol:

Hopkins beats Jones now (in my opinion)

Yeah i agree it wasnt an ear boxing as they say, Hopkins rallied late and definately won a few rounds, he did better than Toney did anyway.

i scored the fight 10 rds to 2 :wink: actually i may even have had it 11 rds to 1 but no no i'm pretty sure i scored it 10 rds to 2 :D

jones was a clear winner in my book and i thought 8 rds to 4 was well to close.
