After the weigh-in, Hopkins put his hand in Wright's face and shoved him backward. Winky responded with a push and the fighters were quickly separated....more to come.[/FONT] http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2/headlines//EEluAyllykCYGoPcxJ.html This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
i question how much genuine animosity there can be. haven't they been business partners, at least under 'special arrangement', for the better part of a year now?
That's not a good sign from Bernard, I'm starting to believe in Winky more and more. I don't believe Hopkins has been this hostile before a fight ever, I'm going with Wright by a comfortable UD.
Hopkins is a legit LHW who through great training stayed at 160 for most of his career (after starting it at 175 I might add). Wright isn't a LHW though.
