Hopkins vs Shumenov, Porter vs Malignaggi Discussion Thread. April 19th.

[-PBP-]

Porter outworks Paulie. Hopkins beats Shumenov unless his age suddenly creeps up on him. I hope he doesn't dig himself an early hole like he did against Karo Murat though.

sweet pea 50 gave you props for knowing your **** on NSB radio show on tuesday.

Pea's my boy. One of the most respected dudes here. I'm gonna check y'all out on air as soon as I get the chance.

I wanted to bet on Shumenov because I think he is going to out hustle B-Hop, but I can only get +200 on him and that is not enough to break a big rule of mine, never bet against B-Hop.

Porter I think will beat Paulie because he is a more sound defender, I don't think either can hurt the other but Porter will hit Paulie more good than Paulie will hit him.

Hopkins is NOT gonna chase him down early. He wants shumy to get over confident. Set traps for him. If Hopkins is aggressive from the outset, a guy like shumy will start running and using his height and reach that way. Hopkins doesn't wanna have to do that.

I'd be surprised if Shumenov tried to outhustle him.
I don't know what him and his trainer are thinking....both of them are tight lipped... and ****ing Shumenov's wife.

I expect Bhop and Porter to win by UD.

[John Locke]

BHop and Porter will win wide UDs, Porter may even win by late stoppage.

The fraud Quillin will ease to victory as well. Probably by KO.

That is really the only way to go about beating B-Hop is out hustling him, if you try to hit him clean good he will see it coming make you miss and probably land his own shot. If a guy just focuses on pushing the pace landing whatever not buying into the whole B-Hop game trying to react to him you can have success as long as you do it smartly, anything else B-Hop will make it very tough.
