    Even tho I agree that hes extremely skilled defensivly wise, his come forward looping hooks and horrible balance when trading make him look like a weird boxer,

    dont jump on me, hes a top fighter and a hard one to fight but damn I dont like watching him, I prefer 1000X times watching floyd.

    Yeah, I've never seen Winky fluttered like that. He was letting BHop get in his head with all the clinching and bully tactics. Winky is known for his accuracy due to him never throwing any hooks or uppercuts or anything that even remotely leaves him open, but damn.. he was throwin them yesterday!.. and he was missing, looking mighty foolish in the process... everytime he missed, he had to clinch to avoid being hit on the inside.

    That's why the fight was so boring. Wink came to BHop and Hopkins clinched everytime Winky landed. And everytime Wink got frustrated, he would try to throw a power shot that would totally miss Hopkins, leaving him open, forcing him to clinch as well. The two just exchange clinches all night long..

    Winky was at least trying to make it a fight. The smaller, weaker man walking down the larger one.

    Also, Winky has been in superb shape during the SSM and Tito fights. He looked flabby yesterday. When he moved up, I thought he'd gain more muscle. Instead, those Krispy Kremes they showed him eating on the Countdown show really showed last night!

    More muscle or not, he still would have been a stationary target.

    Hopkins, at least nowadays, is more ugly to watch.

    Yeah . . . throwing hooks and uppercuts . . . because he's desperate. :D Bhops never allowed him to settle down and employ his game plan, Winky was completely controled by Bhops.

    That's fighting smart. Do you really expect a 42 years old Bhops to figure out in a slugfest? :lol: :D
