WHO WON THE FIGHT IN YOUR BOOK - Hopkins / Wright

Every time there is a close controversial fight.... lets hear your opinion.... How did you score it and who won? Who cares, very uneventful fight. Starting a thread about this is like trying to get people to say good things about John Ruiz.

Doh. I meant to vote for Hopkins!LOL

Hopkins was more active inside against Winky than he was against Calzgahe. And his rough tactics really got to the smaller man. Hopkins won convincingly I thought.

Wow, this is a lot more one-sided than I thought it would be. You are all making me lose confidence in my belief that Winky won the fight. :(

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 10 09 10 09 10 10 09 09 10 10 10 10 HOPKINS 09 10 09 10 09 09 10 10 09 09 09 09 WRIGHT amazing, you and i are only 1 rd/pt apart, yet we had 5 rounds scored different! LOL... and note I say "scored different" rather than "disagreed on..." because as you said, there are several rounds where I'll probably score different if/when I watch the fight again (though to be honest, once was enough). I thought Winky clearly won the 4th round, I thought Hopkins clearly won the 1st, 3rd, 6th,9th and 11th. Seems like most people seemed to score those that way as well, and somewhat disagreeing on most of the rest of the rounds. After the fight I went to BoxingScene to look at Rick's score card as he was doing a round-by-round and wanted to compare it to mine.. and noticed that he disagreed almost every round with HBO... my score card was closer to his as well... I don' know what Lederman was watching.. :sad:

there should be a "draw" option which i think would have been an appropriate decision for this fight

scorecard: hopkins won rounds 3,7,8,11,12 wright won 1,2,4,5,6,9,10 115-113 wright....minus like 5 point deductions hopkins shoudve gotten..

I thought winky owned him. I think you guys watched a diffwerent fight than me or somthin lol

Winky was doing great but then gassed out starting in the 10th.

Hard fight to score, not a lot of clean, effective punches landed due to the subperb defense of both fighters, and probably partially due to bad offense...

I had 115-113 hopkins.

Lederman is an idiot, he's always wrong. I find myself disagreeing with him more then agreeing, the only fight he's called right lately was Williams vs Margarito, but he gave Tony the 10th round, so even in that he screwed up. How did he have Winky ahead by 2 rounds after 6?? Is he on crack?? The british announcers had Hopkins 5-1, I had Hopkins 5-1 or 4-2, to have Winky ahead you have to be delusional. lol at not giving the 10th round to margarito you really dont think he won that?

Saw the fight this morning and had Hopkins winning 116-112.I thought the cleaner punches where landed by Bernard.

Bernards favourite combination is a thumb in the eye followed by the other thumb in the other eye. Regardless, I had him winning 116 - 113 (the last round was even, a lot of noise was made but neither guy really landed). In fairness there were 9 close rounds which could have gone either way, but Hopkins won most of them through ring generalship and never really looking uncomfortable. Hopkins clearly controlled four of the first six rounds, Wright came back in the seventh and eighth but then seemed to gas a little and start just lunging in. I also thought that Winky's slapsy defense failed him in this fight.

bernard's best punch is the headbutt, he shouldve gotten at least6 points dedducted, fucking bitch needs to learn how to box....

I saw a slipt decision either way or a Draw...I honestly thought the judges wouldn't rob neither guy and call it a Draw..A UD was bullshit..

I had it 115-113 for B-Hop as well. I mean it could have been a draw or even Winky winning by a small margin, since it was close and hard to judge. It seemed to me that the fight was fought at Bernard's pace and style so I give him the slight edge. The fight turned out the way I thought, not very exciting and more of a high speed chess type of fight. Maybe not high speed chess because both men seemed slower, but more of chess match I guess.

115-113 Hopkins, ufff Winky is so boring Fo real, he is.

Lederman was terrible last night.

I had Hops by 2-3 rds some were too close to call. Hops just came on strong by the half way point and Winky seemed to fade.
