Bernard "Executioner" Hopkins vs. Ronald "Winky" Wright

[Josh]

Saturday night. Who do you guys have?

I want Hopkins to take Winky down.

 

[paulxcook]

Is this UFC or some other form of MMA? Or is it boxing?

 

[Josh]

Boxing. Catch fight at 170lb instead of usual 175-pound light heavyweight limit. Two great fighters, with I think over 105 fights between them. Hopkins is 42 and Winky is 35 I believe. Should be a battle.

 

[waggy]

it could go either way. but will be one hell of a fight. i would love to get it. just going to be busy while its on =(

I'm expecting winky to win in a boring fight. Taylor edged out hopkins twice but barely managed a draw vs winky.

That's my thought. Winky keeps Hopkins from landing the big punch, and throws twice as many punches to win a decision.

Winky has really good defense and his jabs are money.

Yeah, both fighters are very conservative, I wouldn't expect any fireworks.

De la Hoya/Mayweather pt 2

I think B-Hop's quote at the press conference (I can't lose to anyone named Winky) will be more exciting than the entire fight.

BTW, what's with this trend of hiring Freddy Roach right before one fight? Do they really think he has some magic technique to teach them that'll make them win?

 

[NGC_604]

Roach is one of the top trainers in boxing. Hell, he even made that scrub De la Hoya almost look like a real fighter.

Winky will win though. It will be UD, but he'll win.

Unless I can watch it on TV I don't care.

I am a boxing fan. but NO way would i pay for a PPV. boxing just is not that great anymore.

while i want to see that fight. not worth $60 for the one fight.

update?

gotta represent philly and hopkins. :thumbsup:

 

[eelw]

*ding, ding, ding* FIGHT!!!!!

 

[EvilYoda]

I'm on the road, but ESPN is showing Hopkins 2 out of 3 rounds? How's the fight going for those of you watching? Wright has a cut over his eye, from what I understand.

 

[eelw]

Hopkins headbutted Wright. And there is a lot of holding done by Hopkins. Overall, very boring fight.

 

[eelw]

Okay, going to the scorecard. I think it's going to be a split decision.

 

[eelw]

Surprisingly, Hopkins with the unanimous decision.

 

[Qacer]

Tsk..and I was rooting for the hometown boy, Winky.
