Never bet on a fight that you have an emotional stake in. All the fans of Joe who are so sure he is going to win, need to do themselves a favor and keep their money in their wallet. If you could use your head, you'd know this is a near pick em fight, despite what the odds makers may say. The good money is on Hopkins at nearly 2-1, thats a good bet. Joe at -220 is not good money.
If I had to bet even up, I'd pick Joe, but this is a close fight and there are several factors favoring Hopkins:
Joe is moving up in weight
Joe is fighting in America the first time
Joe is a southpaw
Joe has the type of workrate that plays into Bernard's hands
But he also has some things going for him:
He's younger
He may have a speed advantage
He may have a strength advantage
He definitely can fight the full 12 rounds at a pace Hopkins will have trouble matching
This is why I don't usually bet on fighters I am emotionally invested in, because I tend to overlook all the facts. I did bet Floyd vs. Hatton, on Floyd, just because I thought the odds were way out of whack, Floyd should've been a much heavier favorite.

id say Hopkins has the strength advantage considering hes been a LHW for longer and he has the harder punch

I'm calling out Bookkeeper, where are you man? I'll take any bet you want, I got B-Hop. Make a bet buddy or you just all talk?
You should already know that when it comes to making predictions that you are NO CONTEST, do the people on this forum know that you predicted Pittman to beat Sturm a couple of weeks back, I will take your bet with whatever stakes you wish to play by, I would really want to do a ban but that would not be fair to Saddo who wants as many people as he can get for the forum whether they are trash (You) or not. I say a name change is in good competition
