    Hopkins beats Wright in a more entertaining fight than the boxing world expects.

    Wright must force the issue, thus making Hopkins work at a pace he doesn't want to. You can put your bottom dollar on Wright coming forward all night. Hopkin's fairs well against southpaws, although Wright is without question the best rubik's cube he's ever shared a ring with.

    Hopkins abandoned his jab against Tarver. He threw as many jabs over the entire 12 rounds as I can count on my two hands. It was all power punches from either side, with the straight right hand being the primary weapon.

    Wright's strategy will mainly be based on backing-up Hopkins with the jab. But Hopkins' boxing brain, maybe the best over the last 15 years. He'll take 3-4 rounds to suss and analyze the battlefield.

    Wright, the bull.

    Hopkins, the matador.
