Hopkins wins in unanimous decision vs. Wright

Winky Wright suffered his first loss in 8 years to Bernard Hopkins last night at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

A head butt by Hopkins, 42 in the third round opened a deep cut over his left eye which dogged him for the remainder of the fight.

"I think I won the fight,"said Wright, 35, who went the hospital to have his cut eye stitched and skipped the post-fight press conference.

Bernard Hopkins retains his Ring Magazine light heavyweight title.

Looks like a big $$ rematch is on the cards..
