i don't know about the ko, but speedwise he doesn't have to worry about a lot even if he gains weight because Adamek isn't a speed demon.

What he does have to worry about is Adamek's late workrate and late round power.

Hopkins could get a UD but I doubt the knockout cuz Adamek can take a helluva shot.

I have a feeling this fight will be Hopkins's best in a while. I really expect him to beat up Akamek pretty badly.

Let's not get carried away here. Remember Hopkins was a MW...

He is passed it, and although still good, no way, at 44, should he be moving up and facing the best CW.

Hopkins UD.
he'll school another younging.

He never really loses much anyway, so that's not as much of a factor.

He walks around like 180+ish, and slowly loses it over weeks. He's always roughly on weight, guys so fit. If the fights signed, I guess he could already be 185.

He previously said that's about the weight he'd aim for, which is silly becuase he's come in for a 175 fight at 183ish fight night.
