My boy Wink's gonna dominate Hopkins tonight.

[doublesuited]

And it ain't gonna be close.

116-112, 116-112, 115-113 all for the NEW universally recognized light heavyweight champion of the woooooooooorld...

Ronald "Winky" Wright.

:happy

[The Kurgan]

He'll dominate him, but Hopkins will get the "We love you, old man!" decision.

When did Hopkins ever get a gift decision.:huh

I'm going to pick Hopkins by UD.

[GazOC]

I'll go for Hopkins by UD. Wrights got a great style but a lot of it is based on imposing his underrated strength on an opponent and I can't see him being able to do that to the bigger Hopkins.

[The Kurgan]

It's not the boxer who gets the gift decision; it's the boxer who isn't going to get the right decision. As you'd expect from a hard-working defensively talented boxer who lands a lot of punches, Winky get fucked over a lot by the judges. He'll get screwed up by judges who will feel sorry for Bernard getting his ass whipped, and will say "Well, he stole the rounds in the last 30 seconds."

[Rumsfeld]

He hasn't.

The thing is, Winky's great defensively, but there are ways around it. Hopkins will figure out the jigsaw puzzle known as Winky; Hopkins is versatile in his game.

When he figures Winky out, I'm unconvinced that Winky can make the appropriate adjustments. Winky will look better in the early rounds, maybe taking 3 of 5 before Hopkins systematically dismantles him for a decisive victory.

[Orishaman]

I kind off doubt it...but is a pick'mn type of fight

[jimmie]

Since when is 115-113 not close ?

[doublesuited]

Since when is 115-113 not close ?I figure one judge's bias will make it 115-113. Besides, just because it's 7-5, it doesn't make the fight close.

See Mayweather/Castillo II.

Or when Ike Quartey beats Oscar De la Hoya by 3 points and they give it to Oscar by like 5 points :-( Ill say it agian why are 80 year old men judging fights in loud enviorments at midnight ?

[Orishaman]

Hopkins has never been dominated. ..neither does WW

[Words]

Roy Jones Jnr did, surely?

[Conan]

Winky may have a tight defense, but thats it. He is really stationary and Hopkins loves stationary targets. I see bernard picking him off at a distance with right hands and start roughining him up in the last 3 or 4 rounds. I pick Hopkins by an easy decision but if Wright decides to open up and attack, he is going to get ko'd. His footwork is terrible and off balance when he attacks. I can see Hopkins dropping him similarly to the way he dropped Robert Allen in the 3rd fight.

And his balance is solid, with his weight always distributed on both legs...

[doublesuited]

Naz took 4 rounds off of Barrera, and he still pretty much dominated.
