Winky wins this for me. Although he is the smaller man, I don't think B HoP has the style to prize open Winky's defence. I don't think he has the power to bring Winky's guard down either and Winky is also dam active with that ramrod jab and straight left hands.
B Hop's weakness right now is that he is far too inactive. He let JT win rounds when all JT would throw is a jab or 2 and a straight right hand because B Hop would do nothing but stare. What happens if B Hop throws 2 or 3 punches and lands them all and Winky is throwing 50-60 and lands fewer? This is going to be very tough to score.B Hop may very well land those sneaky right hands as leads or counters but how effective will they be? How clean will they be? I just don't see what B Hop can do to win.
I have to admit,I was slightly pessimistic about this fight when first announced and I'm not super excited like I am for say Taylor Pavlik but it will be a great fight between two excellent fighters. Personally,I don't think it was a good move for Wright. Win,lose or draw,will his next fight be at 175?He;s far too small. Will he move to 160? At this age,all this yo-yoing in weight cannot be good for him. And would still have rather seen him fight JT again,they have unfinished business.
