Cause you're one of those sick people that likes defense, running the clock, and low scoring. . . hence your love for NFL 
I'm looking forward to it too, but I've definitely seen more entertaining matchups. Nothing but leather hitting leather here. . . these guys could probably fight 24 rounds and every round will look the same.

I don't see Winky being able to effectively jab as much as he did in his previous fights at 154. Winky had superior size against Mosley, and he effectively used that advantage in those fights by jabbing from the outside. But against Taylor, there was some inside wrangling going on because Winky no longer had a big height and reach advantage. Against Hopkins, Winky has a two-inch height disadvantage, so there's no way he can sit there and jab from the outside. If he tries that, Hopkins will be within range to counter every time. And Hopkins does a really good job of covering up after he punches, so I don't see Winky sneaking many counters in on him. Also, because I see Hopkins frustrating Winky in the early rounds, I could see Winky doing something stupid later on the fight, which would open him up to some punishment from Hopkins. Hopkins KO'd DLH at 154, and i can see him doing something similar to Wright late in the fight. Wright's been a product of great management, but he took the wrong fight here.

In my view, Winky is a product of a world-class defense and the rare willingness (nowadays anyway) to fight anybody (see Hopkins fight at 170!)
