    Winky did attack Jermain and Bernard but he chose his openings at the center of the ring and behind that turtle defense of his to time Taylor with that right lead, drive him back to the corners and score straight lefts there. He was more enraged and outa control against Bernard after the weigh-in "incident" and the headbutt but he did throw some precise lefts that found their mark. I am watching boxing for lesser time but I do agree about Calzaghe throwing more and from different angles, switching body and head attacks but he will be very exposed to some shots. For instance, when he goes to the body with a right, he's open for a left hook upstairs and when he steps in with a left cross, he can get nailed with a right hook or a straight right... And if Hopkins comes back with heavier shots, I don't think it will be a shutout. I feel Calzaghe will be very pleased to win by any margin but he will have to punch with some authority, not just triple up Hops' output.
