    Middleweight clash between Long standing champ Hopkins and the dangerous, durable McCallum.

    Who takes it?

    I really like Hopkins here.

    That long and wide lead right hand to the body McCallum threw won't work against this guy. When he does go to the body he's countered by Hopkins. Bernard by about 2/3 points on the cards.

    Bernard wins a close one. Mike is a great technician as well.

    I like Hopkins. Even if McCallum begins to get the upper hand Hopkins will reach into his bag of dirty tricks and pull off a win.

    I’d favor Hopkins here in a fight that could resemble an uglier version of McCallum’s scraps with Toney

    Highly technical fight that would be tough to call. The only guarantee too me would be that this fight would definitely go the distance.

    I am quite confident Mc Callum takes this by close decision based on his jab.

    Not too sure. Bernard has some slick sneaky lateral movement that would trouble Mike.
    But Mike has those smooth combinations and is faster then Hopkins.

    Hopkins decision in a sometimes sloppy affair.
