Just rewatched Wright-Hopkins

I think that Winky was actually doing better on the inside, in the first 9 rounds Hopkins was hardly able to counter anything on Wright, and he wasn't really able to get around Wright's guard as effectively as Quartey or Taylor were able to, which really makes me worry about his fight against Calzaghe, because I don't think he will be able to keep up with the pace Calzaghe will set.

IMO Hopkins made Wright look unbalanced, unable to land anything telling & wondering when the next attack was coming.

I thought Wright was being outsmarted at long range & bullied on the inside
