Not to sure if its 100% but I was looking in Boxrec and said that he will be fighting a guy named Enrique Ornelas 29-5-19kos for Dec 02. Anyone heard of or seen this guy fight?http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...1078&cat=boxer

IMO he deserves a gimme after the competition he's taken on back to back in the last couple of years, plus it's basically a tune up for Jones, Johnson, or Dawson for next year
I agree. After his long layoff he needs at least a warm body to shake off any rust he has accumulated since the Pavlik fght.
Long layoffs don't seem to hurt Hopkins for some reasonQuote:

I like Ornelus,a very tough nut to crack.Not exactly positive but think he's Andrade's Cousin or half brother?Always forget which.
Hopkins does not have a huge amount of time left but surely a stay busy fight leading to bigger things.Ornelus went life and death with blown up and faded Mckart,brutal wars and was mostly out boxed by Rubio....same Rubio who was dominated by Kelly Pavlik.Unless father time falls over Hopkins suddenly and he breaks his leg entering the ring I think he'll trounce gritty Ornelus.
Bit odd to see him in a fight like this but I guess he figures he needs to maintain at least some form of activity.
Thats a stay busy fight..which can sometimes be dangerous...this one won't. Yes, Enrique is Librados brother, he is a decent boxer and always game. He is not close to B-Hops level though, B-Hop should stop him.
Hopkins is a freak of nature. He´s Archie Moore. He´s cost me some serious money several times and I´ll never bet against him again, if he fights until he´s 65
Hopkins deserves a warm up for Jones Jr. but I'm not interested really. Hopkins has been getting more and more tedious in his Mayweather style cherry picking since Tarver. I'm not all that impressed that his biggest win in recent years was over a MW who had no business at LHW either. As much as Hopkins didn't look a day over 38 and a half, Pavlik fought like an idiot that night.
I will watch Jones Jr against Hopkins though, because Jones Jr is going to bring it and whip that super old rear end to kingdom come and that shall be the end of B-Hop the super bore. Amen.
