    BOXING - Hopkins vs Wright - 07/21/2007

    Saturday July 21 at 9:00 PM ET/ 6:00 PM PT on HBO PPV - Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada

    12 round LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT
    • Bernard 'The Executioner' Hopkins (47-4-1, 32 KOs) +121
    • Ronald 'Winky' Wright (51-3-1, 25 KOs) -131


    Does Winky put Hopkins back into retirement, or does Hopkins prove he still has it?

    Who do you like?

    winky gets 3 of the four first rounds but hopkins settles down and starts taking over.

    Hopkins wins via 12 round decision.

    Two great fighter's, but this fight will be almost unwatchable. I'd give B-Hop a slight edge just because it remains to be seen how Winky will handle the added weight. My gut tells me Hopkins by decision, but I certainly won't be betting it because I'm not comfortable putting my money in the judges hands in what will surely be a close decision in a fight with very little action.

    The over is easy money.

    I still think X won both fights against Taylor despite what the judges say. My book doesn't offer props, otherwise I'd take a small shot with Hopkins by KO.

    One unit on Hopkins at +135 and a quarter unit on the draw at +1200 just for shits and giggles.

    I had it 7-5 Hopkins myself, but was happy with the result.

    I had B-Hop winning 6-5-1. The fight was even more painful to watch than I anticipated (which is saying something). How two judges can score a fight 17-11 when the winner only lands 9 jabs all night is unbelievable.

    That ref should never be involved in a championship fight again. What's the point of warning Hopkins for holding numerous times, at one point declaring that one more infraction will cost a point, and then doing nothing even as Bernard continues to hold?
