RAZOR situation? WINKY & BERNARD

[Addison]

I've spent some time debating this with myself, and I still have few answers.

I've added a poll to get a better sense of things.

I liek Hopkins after seeing how he handled taylor and tarver, I actually WANT hopkins to win for the first time in my life. Hopkins by close UD in an extremely boring fight.

[realheavyhands]

hopkins donr use a jab.. and winky has the most effectiive in the game

[TheEvilSaint]

this fight's gonna be boring as all hell, IMO.

winky shouldnt be fighting at LHW.

hopkins by UD.

[Addison]

hopkins donr use a jab.. and winky has the most effectiive in the game

Yes, that's an excellent point.

It makes a tremendous difference in this fight.


Winky is so good at making people fight his fight.

Bernard is a guy who refuses to fight someone else's fight..

I can't call this one. I just can't.

winky shouldnt be fighting at LHW.

hopkins by UD.

Yeah, I can see what you mean.. It may be a sleeper.

I sincerely hope not. But it has great potential for that.

[freedom213]

yeah damn sure it will be boring..
it wont be a worthy PPV
unless they put another big name
on the card!

it's unanimous! we all think it's going to be boring, but, ya never know.....
i want B-Hop to win but like you guys i think it's going to be boring as far as fighting is concerned, but fight strategy wise the fight is interesting. it's going to be a chess game in there and two of the most calculated players are facing off against one another, and that's how it's going to be, a chess game unfolding in front of our eyes.

i'd like to see hopkins more aggressive like he was against tarver, and i'd like to see wright open up more like he has been in his recent fights, those two elements bring a shred of hope for an exciting fight, other than that, i think it has the possibility of being a boring 12 rounds.


i'm pulling for hopkins to win by decision.

I couldnt disagree more

Winky threw like a 1000 punches in his last fight and when he tries to do that against a hopkins who is not cutting to 160 he will find out the difference in power a naturally bigger guy brings. I think this fight will surprise a lot of people with both guys leaving it all in the ring in an attempt to secure a big boxing legacy and showcase their respective abilities. At the end of the day Hopkins is too big, too smart and too good for Winky to climb that hill.

OK even if it turns into a game of stratego it will be interesting as hell to see who can impose their will and strategy

[oldgringo]

I think it'll be a good fight for any purists. I think Hopkins is just the better fighter outright. I think he'll get to Wright more than anyone has so far, while largely taking away the effectiveness of Wrights jab. Remember everyone who thought Jermain Taylor had the best jab in the middleweight division? Yeh...Hopkins made it a non-factor. Wright's is better than Taylor's is, but I think Hopkins will know how to adjust accordingly.

It'll get interesting when Wright gets used to Hopkins punch and starts walking him down more in the second half of the fight. That's when we'll see these two great fighters at their best. Anywho, Hopkins by close, clear decision.

[psychopath]

I'm picking Bhops via decission.

Bhops is a an elusive boxer and can change style fronto depending on what the opponent does. Winky won't look good against Bhops because Bhops is not the kind of fighter who keeps attacking while movng forward. Winky will be drawn out of his fighting plan because he will have to chase Bhops.

Maybe the fourth time I'm gonna post this . . . expect a ****i'n sleeper.

[RisAri0]

Hopkins wins because he carries plan a, b, c, d in that ring...and since Winky holds no power to even hurt him, not to mention Winky is 2-dimensional...B-Hop is going to make his way inside, and...I predict winky losing due to stamina in late rounds....folks, I'm afraid B-Hop is going to make this turtle (hopkins name for him due to his defense) drown....I expect Bernard to take a few pages out of Ricky Hatton's book...smother n punch, smother n punch...using his size against him...

Hopkins by 10-12th rd. TKO...

*and lets not forget Winky is a southpaw...which heavily favors B-Hop..
