I really think Hopkins wins as well, but not going to bet the garbage line at my book when Pinny has +163

in the HBO preview, they have a lot of shots w/ hopkins training at the Upper Darby Boxing Gym, same place I train at. It's sweet.

Spiro offering the best line for Hopkins at +165. Doesn't look like a good sign to me.

Hmm, now +200 at Greek. Tempting.

would there be any takers if I were bid at the pinny offer and offered 10 cents through the pinny offer?

eg right now the line is -170/+160 wright. would any of you care if I were willing to pay +160 to buy Hopkins or be willing to sell Wright at -150?

moses millsap · 07-21-07, 09:46 PM

I would take Hopkins at +160, but I don't have paypal.

Hopkins just kept grabbing and the Ref didn't even penalize him at all. I'm sure Wright's going to say thats why he lost that fight. Which sets up rematch.

No one's paying to see a rematch, dan. No chance they fight again.

I didn't pay to watch it tonight, and probably wouldn't pay to watch it if they go another 12 rounds.

It was an easy cash with the over 11.5, so I enjoyed that part immensely

Honestly if not for the wager I wouldn't have enjoyed the fight very much. As for the side, it was a Golden Boy promotions fight, so what did you expect. I couldn't believe the ref never took a point away from Hopkins, but was far more stunned that two judges scored it 117-111 for Hopkins!

I thought it could have been a narrow victory for Winky if the judges were neutral as he was clearly the aggressor, but you never know in these things.

Anyone playing on Winky (who is by nature a full-distance, decision winning boxer) with Golden Boy controlling the thing got what they deserved to a certain extent.

HBO was pro Winky the whole fight. UFC is laughing at this.
