i have a hard time seeing winky beating hopkins, period, but especially at this weight.
i watched some of the workout video too, and i saw two things that hopkins is going to use against winky. after using his lead right hand, once he's in he usually ties up or moves off to the side, i see hopkins coming right back with a left hook after throwing the lead right.
and i also saw hopkins do a little feint with just the right hand as he jab alluding to throwing the right to the head and came downstairs with it to the solar plexus, something that looks like a small adjustment in his arsenal.
winky is the man, i like him a lot, hopkins has been a favorite of mine since i can remember.
i gotta go with hopkins by UD.
p.s. i liked what hopkins said in the second part of that interview about his training being his lifestyle. that is a huge advantage over almost every fighter today. i know for a fact that winky goes up in weight between fights and likes to get his drink on. not that that could be a factor but it is something to consider.Last edited by deuce_drop; 06-22-2007, 03:14 AM.Comment
