Who knows.

I see Hopkins taking RJJ if he wins on saturday, thats why im gunning for Winky as i feel this is an easier fight to make. |

Punch Power: 2017 | | Re: Winky's weight rise a one off The only thing that concerns me about Winky not winning this fight is a bogus decision and the weight. If the weight's not a problem and he does what he always does he should comfortably outwork Hopkins.

Punch Power: 738 | | Re: Winky's weight rise a one off He's treading on new turf on sat, i think it totally depends on the outcome of the fight and how comfortable he feels at this weight.

However that kind of animosity could well escalate into a personal grudge between the two so I too see Hopkins vs Jones Jr 2 very much on the cards.
