Bernard should take this. Shumenov is not as strong as some people think, he lost to a guy that Kovalev destroyed in 3 rounds.

I think Shumenov can take this only issue is, he likes to pose and throw punches, if Hopkins gets his chances during the posing, he can squeeze a win but I think Shumenov might just be too young, too fresh and a little bit too quick. Can't wait really.

as long as Hopkins doesn't get caught with a shot by Shumenov, he can and will out box him. Shumenov has freakish ko power and to be honest that is enough against anyone but it's his only shot.
he's not going to outwork hopkins, he's not going to out box hopkins, his only hope is to catch hopkins with a clean shot and go for the kill, which going for the kill or ko will play right into hopkins craft and skill wheelhouse...
I am a Die Hard Hopkins fan, but this fight kind of has me concerned, 1) the power of shumenov, 2) the gift scoring that shumenov has received in the past, 3) the fact that Hopkins can get old overnight, even though they've been saying that since the Trinidad fight!
but what worries me the most is how EVERYONE expects this to be easy work for Hopkins, even his haters, and that makes me worried, lol.
I got Hopkins in a UD as long as he doesn't try to go flashy ad go for the KO, Hopkins should school shumenov with footwork alone.....
