Hopkins troubles him, makes the distance look fairly easy and is slippery enough to make it a close to even match. It will be a thrill to watch part II next!

Instincts off the charts. Agility with power unpredictable shots.Hopkins fought him in deep waters and had some excellent rushes where he banged away hi and lo able to back him to ropes with very good footwork determination. Both super talented but also super tough. Both took heavy shots and answered right back or just absorbed it like they didn’t feel anything. Gots to do lots of sparring rounds to get your body conditioned for that. People underestimate the super talented boxer’s toughness.

Fight was a lot closer than I remember. A lot of these fights you gotta ignore the commentating. Lots of bullshit

Gotta love the 60 yr old commentators that couldn't whip their selves out of a wet paper bag, yet they have the answers for what these pros should do. 😂

Good fight. Roy won 9-3 maybe 8-4. Competitive but Roy controlled and won.

It's so funny that the announcer seem to be totally unaware that they are looking at (At that particular moment in time) potentially two of the greatest fighters ever. I loved Gil Clancy but I disagree with some of his criticism in regards to jabbing technique. He used to make close to the same criticism when Sugar Ray Leonard would throw a jab in one of the many variations of his jabbing technique. It's almost as if he didn't realize that there are different variations of the most important punch in boxing: The Jab
