    Hopkins for me. This is a boxing match and he's quite masterful in those scenarios.

    Tricky 1, Kalambay presents many of the things that may cause Hopkins trouble, with his great defense, jab, speed, movement. Hopkins is the more all round complete boxer and certainly isnt at the same speed disadvantage he had against Jones and he was past prime against Taylor.

    I see this being pretty close like McCallum-Kalambay, I give a slight edge to Hops but wouldnt put money on it

    Tricky style for Hopkins, because he will have to come forward...But it is also a tricky style for Kalambay! The man from Philly will grind him down and win over twelve. Hopkins is a fantastic defensive technician. Hopkins is great at parrying jabs to get inside position.
    Solid decision for Hopkins...
