I think all the talk about him 'still having the style blah' to throttle Hookins is a call for nap time. You're talking about a raw ish kid who was literally just stomped through like a pile of dry leaves, mentally and physically. I don't even think he 'knows' his style and clearly hasn't demonstrated it consistently. Hopkins would be like water torture and be gaming Cleverly psychologically before the first bell. It's early for him and his true confidence, not false bravado like "we're going in to KO Kovalev" ffs, but true confidence has to be in shambles. Like every young guy tasting public defeat for the first time he needs to dig into his own chest and decide what's right for him. And stop all the non sense about relating to a Calzaghe, comparisons and find his own identity.
