Hopkins vs Ornelas on 12/2: Bernard's Tuneup Set

[anthonysoprano]

Where in Philly??

Hopkins is going to get bashed like crazy for this fight, and it's hard for me to defend it. Hell, the Roy Jones fight is bad enough. The only way that I'll give Hopkins a pass for fighting Roy Jones is if Chad Dawson doesn't beat Johnson impressively even though the Hopkins-Jones fight is already set. And I think Hops can beat Chad.

Is HBO going to make this a network main event? God, I hope not. I guess it'll give me something to watch on a Wednesday night. Wonder how this is going to work out..

Not very familiar with this guy, must be a sign of what to expect in the fight...blowout.

[S.G.]

Its a tuneup...da hell ya'll talkin about it like its supposed to be a legitimate opponent?

I aint neva even seen an Ornelas fight...

[MANGLER]

Never seen that guy. I'm surprised Bhop ain't usin somebody who at least got a name for his tuneup.

Might as well fight a guy on Danny Green's level. Roy's taking a much tougher fight. I saw Rubio lose to Ornelas (on my card at least). Ornelas is tailor made for Hopkins.
