    B-Hop says he'll 'Sugar Ray Robinson' Winky...

    saying he's going to appear invisible to Winky, and winky not knowing where to expect his punches....I read that in an interview on b-talkdotcom...

    what do u think he's going to do to winky?...to be honest I think he'll really take winky to deep waters...winky was already breathing heavily in the mid-rounds vs. Quartey, and he 'opened' up more for the crowd reaction and going for stoppage (ur only as good in ur last fight)...Winky says he'll do the same thing vs. B-hop which I think is a bad idea, but boring if otherwise...and once Winky opens up, u can expect Hopkins to look for that opening like it was a flying saucer from Independence Day...I hope Winky's a big favorite so I can bet on Bernard to execute....he's going to box and pot shot winky all night and ever so often clinch n hit for good measure...winky doesnt have enough power to even make Bernard wince....I just don't see how Winky can win, I mean yea he has excellent defense with a nice jab, but no 'umph' behind it...plus hopkins can make any pressure fighter frustrated...

    man I'ma enjoy this fight from a purist standpoint...

    I can't believe so many people think hopkins will get beat... and give him no chance

    I think Hopkins will win a close decision ....

      I think he'll shift his body in side to side angles and try to puch straight threw Winky's elbows. He won't keep his pace consistent he'll switch up the timing of his punches. That's what think.

          Honestly, I'm torn on this one. I don't think Bernard Hopkins is going to Sugar Ray Winky though.

          There's a good argument for both fighters in this one, you obviously can't count either out.

          I want Winky to win it, and predict he will via a close, boring ass split decision.

            Hopkins will win a close decision (115 - 113 or something)

                well...more like a light-light heavyweight fight considering its 170, but probly won't matter anyways....and I always thought Winky just had decent speed, if anything his quickness comes from his short distance fighting style...he appears fast only becuz he's in close....and I'm sure Hopkins knows this and will neutralize not only his speed, but winky's aggression...winky will continue to just throw combos which will eventually take him to deep waters..

                    Yeah, I always thought Winky's strength was his tight defense and solid jab, not his speed. He ain't fast for a mw, right?
