Hopkins-Wright lets have some expert Analysis.

I think all that Hopkins has going for him is the size, but Winky will win a clear cut but sad (cause of Hopkins retirement) UD. Boxing is a young mans game, and there are no ol'timers day in the ring!

 

Hopkins is going to simply break Winky's guard. Not with power, but with smarts. That's what the man specializes in... breakin' his opponents down and taking them apart.

Winky has one style, Hopkins can change and adapt. If Winky can do the same, he'll have a chance. If not, Hopkins is gonna win by a UD or even a KO in the later rounds.

Check the man's record against southpaws...

 

I know his record against southpaws, but now he's goin up against Winky Wright. At the age of 42 coming off a 13 month layoff as well.

 

I think this fight will be very similar to Wright-Taylor, I think many people will be surprised about how exciting this fight will be. I think Wright will win UD

 

winky has never been in with someone as physical as Bernard Hopkins... there's not really anybody in the game as physical as Bernard Hopkins these days, maybe Hatton, Winky likes to stand and pose, this will work in Hopkins' favor because it will allow him to time the right hand by the middle rounds

 

Hopkins is just not busy enough to trouble Wright.

These are the types of fighters Wright excels at beating. One at a time methodical boxers are right up his alley.

I think with Hopkins' experience he keeps it respectable. 8 rounds to 4 in favor of Wright.

Of course the GBP kick may be in, so we'll see. But that is my official prediction.

 

i like both fighters but im rooting for hopkins. although i think he loses in a close fight.

the way i see it is winky press the action as much as he can because he will be stupid to let bernard set the pace. winky will heighten his punch output, never mind if he misses most of em, because activity always impresses the judges. bernard manages to make it close because of his ring craft and size advantage. but i really dont think bernard wins.

 

I dislike Winky and am rooting for Hopkins, but to me this is where the road ends for Bernard. Old, inactive, and fighting a guy who will outwork him. I'll actually be in Vegas, but tix are too expensive for this.
