Look, look at his stance. That looks like some kind of kung fu stance man

I am unsure about him personally.
I think he has an excellent jab I just feel he needs to be taught to bring it back properly, that is the biggest flaw and worry I see.
He is upright & he has no inside fighting ability as such but I think he has the potential if he tightened up to be a very good long range boxer.

When hes allowed to work at his pace, he looks superb. Porter on the other hand will bumrush him and he really does fall apart when hes not allowed to dictate the pace or keep his preferred distance, that is my worry.
I do think Porter stops him though I do have a lot of questions about him and he really has not fought anyone with any noteworthy power.

Who do you have in the main event? B-Hop close decision?
Not seen much of Shumenov but he looks made to order, I'd describe him as strong.

I favour Hopkins by wide decision.

Shumenov is just the epitome of average.

Fights at a slow pace, should be easy for Hopkins.

This will possibly be a truly abysmal fight.

Interesting how confident Shumenov looks though. He practically stands there totally still at times baiting you to do something.

Shumenov giving up his height already. Hopkins can throw a right hand over that left easily

Yes, sure...

Hopkins-Shumenov Malignaggi-Porter & Undercards RbR Discussion Thread

Round 1

Shumenov is watching Hopkins, hands down. Shumenov advances, jabbing up at the mouth and straight into Hopkins' navel from the waist. Hopkins circles and feints with the jab, keeping his left arm crossed over his body. Shumenov jabs at the body and Hopkins knocks it down with his own left. Shumenov is watching on the outside. Hopkins does nothing. Double jab up top by Shumenov, a few inches shy of Hopkins' chin.

10-9 Shumenov - Hopkins literally never even punched

OK that was just horrible, neither guy did anything but I gave in to Shumenov based on activity

[TRTboy]

As great as bhop is he is 49 yrs. old. Shumenov is not an easy guy to box. I see shumenov beating bhop UD.

1-0 Sumenov

He always does this... this is the way he fights

He's a freaking statue in the ring
