Round 1

Round 2
Hopkins is proving to be a hard target to hit as he keeps away from Roy Jones Jr. Hopkins with a body-head combo. Hopkins ducks an overhand right and there is more dirty fighting inside a clinch. Roy drops his hands and shuffles while Hopkins lets him do it. Jones is backed up by a right from Hopkins but he clinches to survive the round. Hopkins 10-9

Hopkins charges after the restart and they fight for a good ten seconds after the bell. Round 6 Hopkins 10-9.
Round 7
The punch was incidental from Roy and Hopkins has already gone low on Roy twice, but Hopkins is crazy enough to convince himself that Roy is fighting dirty right now. A lot of feinting and posturing happened on this round. Hopkins has his right cocked and Roy has his left hand low but Hopkins isn’t throwing it. Hopkins seems to be looking for a kill shot. Hopkins is more aggressive now than usual. And again Round belongs to Hopkins 10-9.
Round 8
Into a clinch and Hopkins works the body, which in his brain ranges from the abdomen to the knees. The crowd is booing, as they have been since the first round, the great dirty battle as it may seem. Hopkins with a right that doesn’t quite land flush but Jones backed up against he ropes. Jones is moving and defending but not throwing punches. Into a clinch and Jones hits Hopkins behind the head again and here we go again it’s like playing a song over and over again. Hopkins goes down to a knee and milks it again. No points but a warning. It’s really a good job from Weeks because Hopkins is just trying to get points deducted, not genuinely reacting. Plus, Hopkins hit Jones illegally but as usual, the referee didn’t see it what’s up with that. Round 8 Hopkins 10-9.
Round 9
Jones just isn’t throwing enough to factor into the scorecards, he just plays plain defence and no offence at all. Jones needs a knockout for him to win now. Jones lands a nice right but Hopkins immediately counters with a flurry of about six clean punches. Any time Hopkins gets hit he responds with aggression. Round 9 Hopkins 10-9.
Round 10
Ill play that song again for in this round it started with a clinch again, Roy lands a borderline low blow and DOWN GOES HOPKINS! Ref rules it an accidental low blow but Hopkins is acting like he’s been castrated. Hopkins has landed at least two shots lower than that one on Roy and he’s completely acting here; trying to get a point deducted. Roy is just not retaliating in any way other than feints. Hopkins 10-9.
Round 11
Hopkins hits Jones with what is ruled an accidental headbutt. Jones is cut over his left eye. More booing rages the stadium. Jones takes hardly no time to recover and the fight is restarted without much of a rest period. Unlike Hopkins, however, Jones doesn’t respond with any vigor upon the restart. Round 11 Hopkins 10-9.
Round 12
Hopkins is fighting like he has this fight in the bag, and he does. Jones isn’t throwing at all. Hopkins is steady and plodding. Jones is inactive and oblivious. Round 12 Hopkins 10-9.
