- Jones was a 3-2 favorite.
ROUND 1: (Hopkins 24-6)

ROUND 3: Jones showed signs of tiring and had puffiness developing around his right eye 17%. (Hopkins 30-12)
ROUND 4: Jones roared back in this round and landed the best punches in the fight thus far. (Jones 32-12)
ROUND 5: Jones kept the momentum in his corner, with several flashy combinations that landed and had the crowd going “Ooohh! Aahh!” Ringside Expert Lee MacRae had Jones ahead 48-47. (Jones 24-18)
ROUND 6: Jones right eye was now 25% closed. A swift left hook from Hopkins dropped Jones for the count of “4”. Jones got up with a smile on his face and applauded the Hopkins knockdown. Hopkins went right after the clearly hurt Jones and landed several more significant blows before the bell rang. (Hopkins 36-7)
ROUND 7: Jones had his legs back and was looking for payback. The two gladiators traded punches throughout the round and the crowd stood and cheered for all 3 minutes. The left eye of Jones was now half closed at 49%. (Jones 44-30)
ROUND 8: (Hopkins 30-6)
ROUND 9: Both came out looking to land a big punch and each got in a few, but it was Hopkins who was able to snap back the head of Jones. (Hopkins 24-20)
ROUND 10: A good final round of the fight for Hopkins. (Hopkins 28-11)
- Ringside Expert Lee MacRae had Hopkins the winner 96-94. The total punches landed also favored Hopkins 244 to 180. The face of Hopkins was virtually unmarked, compared to Jones whose left eye was over ½ closed.
DECISION: The decision was close, with 3 identical cards of 96-93 all for the winner by unanimous decision….. BERNARD HOPKINS!
- Hopkins will next face Gerald McClellan for the WBO title.
