      Hey, I appreciate a "Gatti-Ward", "Zale-Graziano", "Hagler-Hearns" type of fight as much as the next guy; but I also love it when two brilliant tacticians engage in a battle of fistic wits.

      No, it's not going to be "exciting" from a rock 'em, sock 'em Robot perspective; but it's gonna be brilliant and I can't wait to see this engagement of pugilistic chess.

        Same here. I'm curious to see who gets the upper hand. I think Winky is going to take this one, personally...

          I think this could be an okay fight actually. B-hop has a somewhat different approach at the new weight. HE isnt as clingy. And WRIGHT is a more offensive fighter now.

          I think there could be some pretty good action.

          If its in the garden then i can't wait to go.

            They maybe be tactitions, but brilliant tactitions? I consider brilliant tactition to be a fighter that flows through the ring and has perfected his punchs and stance and knows the ins and outs of the ring. Imo, Winky and Hopkins, are technitions but they don't always make there work look like an art form, somtime mudded.

              Yea same. Winky has been waiting for this fight on the big stage for a long time now. And both fighters need this win for their legacy.

              Winky will become a SHOE IN for the hall, instead of just ur ordinary Hall of famer.

              And B-HOP beats a GREAT fighter still at his best. Tarver was never good enough to be HOPKINS... period.

                  To be fair i thought the weight issue did weaken Tarver. And it was a closer fight then most, imo.

                    HOPKINS can be sloppy an awkward against a lot of styles, But Winky Wright makes it look easy. He is a brilliant tactitionist for sure.

                    Again, this is gonna be an okay fight. Definetly wont be the worst fight of the year. far from it. Its not gonna have great action, or even good action, but it'll be nice and solid and i predict the championship rounds will be very exciting and have some very good action.

                      You're picking the fight to end by stoppage? Are you serious?
