Hopkins vs. Ornelas official thread
Well this fight is coming up in about an hour. I know everyone expects a relatively easy night against the decidedly outclassed, but very durable Ornelas. It looks like it's 2 hours so hopefully they show some of the undercard. Pretty sure They will show all 2 minutes of Jones/Green as these fights were to be a set up for the rematch. Who knows, in stranger aeon's do we see Green/Ornelas?

Re: Hopkins vs. Ornelas official thread
I think Hopkins may actually show some ring rust. Ornelas if nothing else will be steady pressure
Re: Hopkins vs. Ornelas official thread
Here we go announcers talking about the question of the future of Hopkins after RJJ losing. Undercard about to start Danny Garcia vs. Enrique Colin Light welter prospects. WBC youth Light Welter title on the line, not sure why a 27 year old is fighting for a youth title. Steve Smoger is the ref so Kumate time.
Colin 23-4-3 (19 KOs) from Mexico 139 lbs.
Garcia 14-0 (9 KOs) from Philly 140 lbs.

Re: Hopkins vs. Ornelas official thread
Wilson impressed the hell out of me against Huerta in his last fight, I've been waiting to see him again since then. He is wild, fast and hair trigger reactions.
