    i can't see how you had wright winning, Hopkins controlled the tempo, landed the harder shots, eliminated wright's jab, Halfed wrights punch output, and was better on the inside, i had never seen wright look so uncomfortable in there. Wright uses his jab and high output to win fights, he used his jab to outbox trinidad and a high output to beat Quartey, in the hopkins fight he had neither. he did throw more than hopkins but not with enough consistency to win rounds, his best success was in the middle rounds but he tired and lost the later rounds.

    I had wright winning this one by a point,Looked to me like most of Bhops punches hit gloves. But i think ill re-score it later and post again.It was one of those fights i mean i watched it few times gave it to B-Hop by a point then wright then Wright again. each time by a 1 point margine.

    Its easy enough for me to see Wright winning, He was landing more than Hopkins(including power punches, but HBO got that really wrong on compubox). People are saying Hopkins was landing the harder shots, but he only did so a handful of times, most of the time he wasn't even trying to throw hard punches. Sure Wright was off balance when he was coming forward, but because of his jab(which did land 30% of the time) Hopkins wasn't able to counter effectively at all, and when he actually did respond he was only able to hit Wright on the gloves, and on the inside Wright was landing the sharper blows with his straight left. I think neither of them were particularly effective, but having Hopkins up by 5 rounds is ridiculous.
