Jones and Hopkins out to settle old scores

BERNARD HOPKINS says Roy Jones Jr is a “desperate man” as the two ageing veterans try and settle an old score in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Jones defeated Hopkins to win the IBF middleweight title way back in 1993, and despite the bad blood between the two, the rematch has taken 17 years to put together.

Many now say the time has passed and the two should not be fighting, especially Jones after he lost five of his last 10 fights including a shock first-round stoppage by little-known Australian Danny Green.
