Classic Battle Between Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins Comes to Real Life

Tomorrow night Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins will battle it out with each other in a rematch that was 17 years in the making. In their first fight 17 years ago Roy Jones defeated Hopkins via decision. Hopkins is looking for revenge tonight after trying to secure a rematch with Jones during the last two decades. Jones is well past his prime despite being 4 years younger than Hopkins. Hopkins, at 45 years old, is still a top three pound for pound fighter in the world and should dismantle Jones easily. Regardless, the fight will be interesting because of the bad blood between the two. Ticket sales are slow and PPV numbers are expected to be relatively weak but this fight is not about that. It's personal for both of them. Jones claims Hopkins only took the fight because he thinks he will have an easy fight against a washed up former champion. Hopkins isn't taking anything for granted and expects the best Roy in the ring tomorrow night. It's an interesting fight worth watching for it's historical relevance.
