    I've gone back and forth on who I think is going to win but have settled on Cloud UD 12 including some damaging moments for Hopkins where he looks hurt, I don't rate Cloud but Hopkins is shot to high **** when it comes to his offense.

    Ofcourse i'd love to be proven wrong :yep

    Cloud knocks the old boy out or Hopkins finds a way out when the going gets tough

    I hope

    I'll be sitting in the eighth row. Would love to see a KO.

    Cloud UD

    Close to a 50/50 fight for me.

    Pick em fight but I can't pick against Hopkins even though I think he will lose.

    I don't think they'd rob Hopkins, because he's Hopkins! They gave him the win against Pascal so... yeah, yeah, I know, Pascal isn't American like Cloud, but still!

    If it goes 12 rounds, Hopkins will most likely win and get the win too.

    Cannot see someone as limited as Cloud knock Hopkins out either.

    However, if he can knock Hopkins down and then lower his level of activity, I can see Cloud getting the close UD.

    Pick'em, but Cloud really is quite limited and if Hopkins cannot beat a limited fighter like Cloud anymore, then maybe it's time to think about retiring.

    My pick: Hopkins split decision.

    I get the feeling it will be a long, drawn out affair, with many close rounds difficult to score. Cloud takes a decison, possibly an SD whilst Hopkins cries robbery.

    I'll be rooting for the old timer in this one, though.

    Have they had the mother****ing weigh in yet?

    Hopkins wont get a win on the cards! do you guys really think they give a close fight o hopkins? he is to old! of course they give it to the young lion who has a better future than an old hopkins. hopkins has to outclass cloud in order to win! and i dont believe he can do this.

    Think the old man frustrates and beats Cloud in an ugly affair... Unless there's a robbery for Cloud...
