    Good stuff. More meaningful than Cleverly and Shumenov, even if Cloud should have gotten the L against Campillo.

    Close to a 50/50 fight for me, but I'll go with Cloud.

    I have a bad feeling that Cloud is going to knock old man Hopkins out cold in devastating fashion..

    Hopkins should school Cloud if he has anything left at the world-class level. Cloud is abysmal.

    I like Cloud, but he's getting schooled in this fight.

    Dawson-Cloud would be more interesting.

    Good fight.

    I favour Cloud to work Hopkins over, but it will be a close run thing.

    A good fight to see what Hopkins has left. Cloud, unlike Dawson, will let the old man play his game. Cloud's solid enough, but if Hopkins can't get by him then that's as good a sign as any that it's time to call it quits.

    Cloud's party lifestyle will be his undoing. Cloud's diet between fights will make him gas faster than a 48 year old man.

    Hopkins literally hasn't eaten a donut in 20 years.

    Normaly I don't pick against Hopkins but after the Dawson fight I think his time has come.

    I hope not. He beat Pascal after some ordinary performances lets hope he can replicate that but man he's getting old to fight at this level you may be right.

    i thought cleverly and hopkins would fight. pascal should rematch dawson. when pascal came in overweight this weekend all i can think about was dawson talking about his tight pants. now we know why his pants was so tight.

    This is a fight Hopkins can win and even dominate.

    But the more the years go by, the age thing has to come into play sooner or later.

    Interesting match-up.
