and a few quid on the draw @ 16 - 1
De La Hoya is bringing in an estimated BILLION $$$$ this year to vegas (FACT) so add that to Cortez reffing and the draw seems well worth a go.
Do see a stoppage but the clean cut KO seems unlikely imo as both have solid chins.
Im seeing this fight go down exactly like Hattons fight. Hopkins frustrates JC through the early rounds, not getting hit, holding etc and pot shotting him. JC gets tired and desperate later on and hopkins puts him to sleep. Watched JC vs Kessler again earlier on and JC was pritty much all out at the end, you could see he was hurt and (*IF*) Kessler had a little more about him could of finished that fight the winner. I think you will all agree that Hopkins is a absolute genius, master at spoiling the other fighters rythem and game plan (i know im sounding like a fanboy, but it is what it is).

Im wimping out on betting a little bit but im so gonna regre it if im right and dont bet, will keep you updated if i go through with it!!
