I'm not surprised the Jones/Hopkins fight didn't work out. The combined stubborness of those two guys is just off the charts.

Didn't see this matchup coming, the 170 weight limit would definitely seem to favor Hopkins. He had to work with a trainer to bulk up to 175 from 160. 170 might actually be a more comfortable weight for him.

I wonder how going up to 170 might affect Winky's future. I was looking at Winky as a possible opponent for the winner of Mayweather/DLH at 154. If he goes up to 170, it'd be asking a lot for him to drop 16 pounds at the age of 35. But then again, just because this fight is at 170 doesn't mean he HAS to weigh 170, he could always come in lighter.

It's an intriguing fight but obviously has the chance to be a real snoozefest. Hopkins is a deliberate slow paced fighter, and Wright does best against guys who come right at him like Mosley or Tito. Hopkins obviously won't do that.
