    I thought it was easy to score. I had it 8-4 Hopkins. Winky's jab wasn't landing and his punches had nothing on them while Hopkins won the inside fighting, landed the harder shots, and just made look Winky somewhat amatuerish.

    because Hopkins had already moved up to LHW. Fighting at MW would have meant losing 15lbs of muscle in a short period of time. Not a smart move, and Hopkins is a smart guy

    Not at all, I need to score it again but off the top of my head I had Hopkins clearly winning that fight by as many as 3+ rounds. I didn't see it as being close.

    I think it was a beautiful exhibition of how you negate your opponents jab and workrate. Hopkins took away all of Winky´s strength and beat him. I like that fight.

    I thought some of the early rounds were pretty close and difficult to score, but Hopkins started to dominate the second half of the fight IMO.
    I had it 115-113 Hopkins, although some early rounds could have gone either way.
