Hopkins-Shumenov, Porter-Paulie Predictions

So is Hopkins playing mind games with Shumenov? You think he's trying to get in his head and put him off his game? An angry Shumenov could play into Hopkins' hands.

 

Dunno man. Maybe Hopkins was intimidated by Shumenov's dystopian post-Soviet 1000 yard stare and was trying to get his own psychological edge back? Either way the guy's got a slightly wild herky jerkiness that might throw Hopkins off - interesting fight

 

I've bet against Shumenov as part of my boxing accumulator, but I'm rooting for him, tbh. I wonder what was said between them when they went face to face. Shumenov was definitely wound up though.

 

10-3 on Shumenov by decision. i might put one of my high roller 4 quid bets on that.

 

Go for it. Lets hope if he is a deserving winner he's not hard done by by the judges.

I've got John Murray, Quillin, Hopkins, Quigg, Callum Smith and a few other guys who are fighting for English titles etc on my acca. Not great odds though.

 

What are the odds? Where do you do boxing accumulators, btw?

 

William Hill.

Well I've got eight fighters in my acca at just over 8/1. I was tempted to go for KO/Points bets but decided just to bet on the fighter to win.

 

i wouldn't even bet that long, personally. I gamble like an accountant.

 

But Hopkins grew up in a rough neighborhood. Shumenov should be intimidated!

 

Yes, and as most 'Muricans will tell you, they ain't never seen a central asianananana that could fight, drive, or do fuck all. They used to stack fucks like Shumenov 10 high in Koh Ree Ah.

 

That's what I thought too!

 

Not sure what to make of Quillin. He's decent but I'm not overally impressed. I know Konecny moved up in weight for this fight and is tough, but Quillin looks much bigger and has more weapons. Don't think Quillin has great power.

 

Streams anyone?

 

From what I've seen of Shumenov, he's pretty average. Hopkins should beat him rather easilly, unles he has improved since I last saw him (vs a russian, that floored him), or that bernard is on an off day like he was vs Talyor and calzaghe.

 

quilan gets hit to much

 

If I was Golovkin I'd be trying my absolute best to get a fight with Quillin.

 

I predict all the younger fighters will win tonight. I picked Quillin (obviously i't over.) I believe Porter will outbox Paulie and beat him by a wide decision.

And I believe Shumenov will beat Hopkins. Shumenov stops him in the 9th.

 

Broner at 140 is a good idea, he may have some punching power at that weight. 147 was just too much.

 

Shawn Porter looks like a cornball brother. I hope Malinaggi schools him.

 

I think Shumenov is made for Hopkins. Hope I'm wrong.

 

Indictment on Shumenov or Hopkins?

 

Malignaggi cut in the first 30 seconds of the fight. Under the left eye.

 

Was he cut by a punch or elbow? Porter 1st round for me.

 

Paulie getting tagged by the jab.

 

Paulie taking a serious asskicking. Getting tagged with everything.

 

Wow, this is crazy :: Porter really wants to take Paulie's head off! Paulie was hurt often in round 2.

 

Porter looks like Mosely.

 

You can see why Kell Brook would rather face Malignaggi ::

 

Porter was really impressive.

he's praying in the corner, what a homo

 

My goodness. The violence. :scared2:
