This is the first leg of the Middleweight
Tournament Series to unify the Middleweight division. IBF Champion Bernard
Hopkins will rely on his street fighter instincts to wear down the more
refined southpaw Keith Holmes. Holmes will try to use his jab to keep the
stronger Hopkins at a distance. Look for Holmes to start strong early building
up points by out boxing Hopkins. But it won't take long for the veteran
Hopkins to take control and begin to wear down Holmes. We see this fight
as being a close, but unanimous decision for Hopkins.
