Hopkins comments seem to echo the same type of thinking. Peterson being home may fight more with reckless abandon than normally. We'll now in the first round perhaps. If it begins a feeling out process, as most do, it will be a slow war of attrition beat down administered by Kahn. On the other hand, if Paterson goes in guns blazing to gain respect, it could end before the final bell as he lacks the firepower to dismantle Kahn. Kahn will use his power and accuracy to gain the upper hand, and possibly a TKO. Baring an Ishida/Kirkland shocker, Kahn wins and moves up, unless he takes on Rios as Roach has requested.
