Comments Thread For: Shumenov Remains Tight-Lipped On Plan To Beat Hopkins

[Citizen Koba]

perdiction;

Beibut Shumenov will present a very thorny problem for popkins

Only if the contract allows for him to glue thorns onto his gloves.

This is the type of opponent Hopkins histroically does well against, a slow plodder with no head movement, flatfooted, no defense of any kind who relies on winging hard power punches.

Easy Popskins UD.

Shumenov needs to stay busy, and keep the pace up, and use the jab alot..

Taylor and dawson were extremely effective vs hopkins doing that..

As soon as you slowdown, and start trying to box,, Hopkins has won.. the slower the fight the better for hopkins..
Shuemov needs to stay very active and have a high workrate and busy jab

This is also classic Shumenov: wait until a legend is almost 50 and hope he catches him on the fade. Wouldn't have fought Hopkins at 45
