Two of boxing’s greatest practitioners will toe the line on July 21st, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins and Ronald “Winky” Wright. This fight does not necessarily shape up to be the most exciting fight, but should be a real tactical war. Both fighters should be hungry and after one more significant win.

Bernard Hopkins is a future Hall of Famer and defended his middleweight title 20 straight times. I have rolled in his Entourage plenty of times and I know he is a very hungry and is as intense as they come (If you watch tapes of Hopkins fights from the late 90’s its easy to pick me out in his Entourage; I am the handsome, young, sharp dressed guy, usually Versace or Armani’d down, also the only guy who is not African American). Hopkins is a tough customer that can almost always find a way to win with his rough and tumble style. He is a defensive master who has patience to wait for an opening then strikes. His boxing style is a lot like my Game.

Dope Bernard Hopkins Video, Gangstarr

Hopkins has power, but has usually knocked out opponents by grinding them down. He should be physically stronger than Wright, but I think his mental strength is what is going to give him an edge.

Another Dope Hopkins Video, CNN

Winky Wright is a defensive master with a venomous jab. He keeps his hands very high, but is also adept at slipping punches. He has two big wins over Sugar Shane Mosley, a dominant victory over Felix “Tito” Trinidad, and a good win over Ike “Bazooka” Quartey. With his airtight defense he has looked very dominant over otherwise great fighters.

The Prediction

Although Hopkins final days have to be soon (he is 42 years old), I think he has one more great performance left. If there is anyone out there that can solve the puzzle that is Winky Wright it is Hopkins. He is really going to have to be aggressive, but willing to exchange, and rough up Winky. On the flip side, Winky might dominate Hopkins. But I think Hopkins win over Antonio Tarver proves that he still has plenty left. I see Hopkins taking a hard fought decision. That is of course if the judges see it that way. The Rest is Up to You………

Side Note:

Let’s hope Arturo Gatti stays retired. The only category that Gatti beat Alfonso Gomez in was “better hair” during their fight last Saturday. Having “better hair” is important for a Playboy out on the town, but in a boxing ring it doesn’t matter too much. However, Gatti was swooping a pretty fly girl after the fight so the night wasn’t a total loss…
