1st off let me start out by saying I want to wager about 1/2 my bankroll or my full bankroll on B-Hop +105, B-Hop by decision, B-Hop by TKO,KO, or DQ (Huge longshot) & try for a little risk aversion by betting the draw. My bankroll right now is honestly tiny compared to people on here and I made it all out of playing poker on Bodog.
 
Now onto the reasons why I like Hopkins:
1) In the Daily News boxing write Tim Smith wrote that Hopkins is in amazing physical shape, possibly the best in his career
2) I think Hopkins will be a lot more active than Winky even though this fight will be a snooze fest!
3)The height and reach advantage will be key
4)Winky's moving up in weight, when most boxers move up in weight they lose that pep in there step. Hopkins has already defeated Tarver at 170 at the age of 42
 
Basically the whole method behind my madness is that the more active fighter will win the decision and I feel Hopkins will attempt to be a little bit more active especially after the Taylor decisions!

Well in reading the covers article it seems like Winky wants to be the more active of the 2 but if thats the case I see B-Hop countering him with big punches all night!

you've convinced me. jk, i already like bhop- you should check out hbo's countdown to the showdown for this fight...hopkins does look like he's in unbelievable shape.
bhop 9-0 vs south paws in his career
do'nt like bhop in a dq or ko though - winky has never been ko'd in more than 50 fights and he's smart enough not to get dq'd

Like I said I know the TKO,KO, DQ is a longshot but for 10 to 1 im down to throw like 10 bucks on it!

Like X to win a dec.  Can't see Winky letting himself get caught, but BHOP stays busy enough to get a S dec.

X now fights in spurts. As in he does not fight the entire 3 mins. of a given Round. "Winky" is much closer to the full 3 mins left in the tank than B.Hops is. So I could see where X wins the portion of the Round that he does fight, but "Winky" wins the majority of the Round 7 outta 12 times on at least 2 Judges scorecard's. Not umpossible by me.

GLA!

I wouldn't take either fighter by stoppage regardless of the odds.

Like I said the more active fighter would win the fight and Hopkins was more active especially in the last 3 rounds! I honestly had it scored as a draw or 7-5 Hopkins I thought Ledermans score card was correct except I thought Hopkins won the 2nd rather than Winky. I honestly was ish'ing bricks the last 30 seconds I killed my Vodka Tonic in the last 30 sec of the fight and when I heard winner and still champion I erupted my account balance is @ 200 now and I deposited 20 on Mon., so this was a good victory!
