That Make Up The Core Of Southern Boxing Discovering

Hopkins V Shumenov Forecasts!

Saturday we are dealt with to a light heavyweight spell between Bernard "The Alien"
Hopkins, (54-6-2, 32KOs) and Beibut Shumenov, (14-1, 9KOs) live from the DC Armory,
Washington, District of Columbia.

Hopkins opened as the wagering favorite in the fight and now sits at around -225 at most
books after his line dropped. Presently, you can score +175 on Shumenov.

The O/U on the bout is set at 9.5 rounds, with the over coming in at -450 and the under at
+300. Hopkins by KO can be found in at +900, while Hopkins by choice will cost you -165.
Shumenov by KO hits the mark at +550, and Shumenov by decision lands at +335. The
probabilities of the spell being declared a draw stand at +1800.

Still rebounding from a dull choice loss at the hands of Chad Dawson in 2012, Bernard
Hopkins extended his win streak to two in a row late in 2013 with a dominant beating of Karo
Murat in exactly what was an exciting (yes, interesting) and outstanding performance.

Hopkins, real to his word for as soon as, was in fact looking for the knockout in that spell and
what resulted was a drubbing for the compulsory challenger Murat, who lost via extremely
wide, consentaneous scores.

"The Alien" is an immensely skilled boxer who is still performing at a world class level, quickly
one of the best in the sport today, even at the amazing age of 49. Pressing 50 years old,
Hopkins is still capable of being the superiorly conditioned fighter in addition to having nearly
exceptional ability and experience on top tier of the sport.

For some reason, Hopkins continues to maintain his outstanding defensive and boxing ability
in addition to his slick counter punching capability, even in the face of tougher hitting and
surely more youthful challengers. The future Hall of Famer has broken the record for winning
and protecting a world title at such an advanced age (beating out the previous record holder
George Supervisor) and thinking about the efficiencies he has been putting on, in spite of his
age, I believe it is foolish to bring up his age as a considerable factor at this time.

Bernard was clipped a little more commonly versus Murat (likely due to, as he himself stated,
taking more threats in an attempt to notch a stoppage) and was likewise stunned and come
by Jean Pascal but there is absolutely nothing to suggest that his brain is mushy or anything
but finely matured!

Beibut Shumenov recently demolished formerly unbeaten Tamas Kovacs four months back
in Shumenov's very first and just battle of 2013. Shumenov has won six straight considering
that suffering the only loss of his occupation thus far at the hands of Gabriel Campillo back in
2009, a loss that was later avenged by means of split choice.

Beibut was at one point a extremely appealing prospect in the sport and he has actually
accumulated a unexpected amount of good experience in spite of his low number of bouts as
a professional, with wins over Montell Griffin, Vyacheslav Uzelkov, Danny Santiago and
Enrique Ornelas within his 15-fight career.

Stylistically Shumenov is a good fighter with decent punching power however he tends to do
his best work when playing the role of assailant. Shumenov does a good task of packing
some power into his hook and right-hand man and is fairly technically sound, but he does
have some clear drawbacks that have caused him to have a hard time a little bit in the past.

For starters, aside from being a fairly slow fighter as a whole, Shumenov's protective abilities
are not entirely excellent. Both his lack of speed and defense were on display in his 2 very
close fights with Gabriel Campillo and his protective liabilities were exploited by Vyacheslav
Uzelkov throughout their fight (Shumenov even hit the canvas in the preliminary).

The truth that this battle ares happening I believe is a testimony to smart promo for Bernard
Hopkins, who will take a WBA Super World and IBA title from Shumenov with a triumph on
Saturday night.

I have slightly doubt that once again, money is being available in on the underdog Shumenov
not because of Shumenov's capabilities and real chances of triumph on Saturday (which are
not really high at all), but rather because of Hopkins' alarming looking age.
Hopkins holds practically every advantage in this battle aside from raw boxing power,
however because very same vein of thought, Bernard is the far more resilient fighter,
therefore I doubt we will see him be from another location rattled versus his young
opposition. Yet someone else dominant and impressive success is likely in the cards for "The
Alien", who places on a great efficiency Tail end need to be found at the bottom of the post
