Yeah, it's tonight. Guinn should knock him out, but on the other hand he could end up sleepwalking again and Hawkins outworks him for the upset like he nearly got against Tua. With his chin and power, Guinn should've done so much better. Hmm, kinda reminds me of Tua in some ways now I think about it...
Guinn was nothing like Tua, he had a good chin yet moved better and had faster than usual hands but ofetn never let them go.. Guinns KO's almost always came from very good combinations and openings.. He was a better technician..
On the other hand, he's also guilty of wasting his power due to lethargic efforts in the ring and lack of focus. And that's Tua to a tee. I did say some ways after all!
Too bad they couldn't find a better opponent for Guinn than Hawkins. He's lost six of his last seven fights, and he's coming off a KO loss last month to Virchis.
At least we've got live FREE boxing to watch. Good ol Friday Night Fights is back. !!!! Guinn by decision......
Guinn was never all that powerful, really. More of a guy that would outwork you, but once he got lazy, that was out the window and the power wasn't there to fall back on. He looked pretty good against Eddie Chambers last year, was in better shape but just didn't work enough to get the win. Hawkins is a clear step down from Chambers and a nice chance for Guinn to try and salvage some kind of momentum at this late stage of his career rather than just being a stepping stone in every outing. Hawkins isn't all that much fun to watch, he'll stay on the outside, so if Guinn is lazy, this fight could be a snoozer. Alonzo Butler would've been better.
When the show opened, Teddy Atlas said, We should have done a better job putting this show together. Meaning they were lacking quality fighters. Teddy says what he feels, regardless.
