Hopkins-Shumenov Malignaggi-Porter & Undercards RbR Discussion Thread

[Hitchslap1]

I've analysed this fight and I think Shumenov wins because he's too strong for Hopkins. I think Shumenov has the power to hurt him. Even though I had Hopkins beating Calzaghe, he seemed to tire in the later rounds. Hopkins was 43 then. And Calzaghe's punches are soft flicks compared to what Shumenov hits with.

I can't wait til B-Hop schools Shumenov and silences the doubters.

Don't know that much about Shumenov , but I think there's a sneaky, dirty, crazy old man waiting for him down a dark alley. Maybe the sneaky,dirty, crazy old man is an alien. Maybe he's an alien executioner...fack, I'm making myself paranoid with this ****! Looking over my shoulder now...lemme' go put on my tinfoil hat!

Joking aside, imo, at this point age can rear up and overwhelm Hopkins at any given moment (and the better the opponent, the more likely it is), but he wouldn't take this fight if he didn't see something that he could take advantage of.

My standard pick anymore for B-Hop is win by controversial decision.

I'll go with that.

WAR HOPKINS!!

He's not looking past porter , he's looking through him

[DARKSEID]

Hopkin's Defense is flawless, I think it's the best in the sport.

I would have to put Rigo ahead of him, but B-Hop is a close second.

What are people's thoughts on Porter-Paulie? Who wins that one?

really a toss up leaning towards porter, ppl forget he had a draw with julio diaz. he likes to kinda rush in, doesnt have devastating power and i could see paulie using the jab keeping away from porter getting inside where he likes to rough u up

i could also see paulies older legs failing him, porter is alot younger fresher, throws a lot of punches. if hes able to get inside, paulie will not win.
