Wont be that bad. Winky comes to fight and will pressure Hopkins.. He will force Hopkisn to fight inside.

maybe if it were 15 rounds, neither guy is gonna step it up until the 9th or 10th

They are going to be so busy feeling each other out every round, I can hear the boos coming down around the 3rd round and then somebody lands a nice shot and the crowd gets loud in excitement but quiets down because there is no follow up action and the boos begin again, I can even visualize Larry Merchant saying something about how boring the fight is, in typical Larry fashion, and Lampley trying to cover up for him or change the subject lol.

Winky is so right when he says stuff like people just make up stuff about him. All of us have seen Winky fight a ton but yet people will still tell you that Winky is this boring guy who is just a counter puncher and gives no action. What are people watching? He's had like 10 straight fights where he's come forward the whole fight and he throws alot of punches. He never feels a guy out or anything. He'll come right at them. I dont know if he'll do it this fight at 170 but he probally will. People forget that Hopkins use to be a bull dog and he's just started this counter punching crap since he got old but if Winky comes at him then he will get to counter. I think it will be a very good fight. I think it could have alot of action but even if it doesnt then I will still love it because its 2 pros who have mastered the sweet science and its a shame that alot of idiots dont appreciate that anymore. I hope Merchant isnt on the card just incase

When Winky comes at fighters its usually against undersized opponents, against people his size or bigger I see winky doing alot of counter punching and backing away from the action, I never said Winky fights where boring, I actually enjoy them because I enjoy good boxing, but he doesn't press the action like a Pacuiao, Cotto or Mosley, he's not going out there looking for that knockout he is boxing for a decision like Mayweather, he is a good boxer he uses his jab to keep space and set up bigger shots, and he extremely smart, with great defense. I will enjoy the fight, but when I say any chance of it being entertaining I mean is it really PPV worthy?

It all depends on what you wanna see. If you wanna see an all out war then don't see it. This fight is gonna be a true boxing match. If you are a true boxing fan and you understand the true nature of boxing you will not be disaapointed.
