[MATT YOUMANS Review-Journal, 25-24-2 (overall record)]
Today's best bet: Bernard Hopkins (+130) over Winky Wright
In a tough fight to call, and one heavily favored to go 12 full rounds, it makes sense to bet the underdog. Bernard Hopkins is 42 and coming out of a brief retirement, but "The Executioner" is stronger and more comfortable at 170 pounds than Wright, who has not fought above 160. Hopkins can attack and break down Wright's defense.
