Can't see Hopkins having any chance in this fight, Joe will batter that ugly mug for 12 long rounds. In fact Bernie might end up better looking than when he went in.

yes but Nard wasnt supposed to have a chance against Tito or Tarver coming off two losses to taylor and we know what happened there.

I like the part where the alphabet belts are made redundent. top fighters dont need them.

How can Hopkins take out a Supernatural missing link In human evolution?

Is it not for the RING title?

Yeah but the Rings like the WBU, no mandatries and too leaniat on champs and are HBO's slave.

when has bernard ever been battered for 12 rounds? he's still got his great defence. calzaghe will be throwing and missing, if he wins he wins purely on volume, and that volume has to negate bernard's counters.

I think that's right on the money. This is in no way going to be the walk in the park some people think it's going to be.

Calzaghe 1,000,000 -1 to KO Hopkins. Hopkins 10-1 to KO Calzaghe. Points win by Joe 7 rounds to 5 in a horrible looking fight. Joe may have to get up to win, its going to be his toughest yet.

I'm going for Hopkins on points.

Well never TBH, BHop has always been far too cautious to take risks in a fight he looks like losing. I'd like to see Joe put on a performance like that, but I guess BH will fiddle his way to a points defeat, and not take too many punches.
He's not winning though - he can't hurt Calzaghe and he's not outworking him either.
