Ol' man Hopkings gets ready for Allen again...and Oscar.

[MightyWarrior]

Training as hard as ever by the looks of it. Good picture.
The odds on next week's big fights are so long it's not even worth betting, unless you've got a spare million quid that is.
Is Vitali v Lacy on this show? Best fight of the night if it is. A real matchup of the world's two best super middleweight prospects. I think the American's might be in for a surprise here.

It's PPV in the UK, but you can pick it up free to air on German ZDF as well.

German ZDF ?....

You need a big porn dish I take it ?..

Once Hopkins looks 'great' beating Allen - DLH will punk out of the fight !!

Mark my words !

He only announced it to take the gloss off of Mosley Vs Winky !!

Another ESB quality post there.

Lacy's fighting on the Ouma vs Phillips card, so it doesn't look like we'll see that one over here. Shame really, should be more competitive than the Hopkins and DLH fights (which really doesn't say alot does it).

Did anyone see ringsde a few weeks back, with Allen saying he had Bernard's number? Some fighters are real bullshit artists.

Yeah baby!!

I think DLH may have problems with Sturm, he was bullied by Vargas at Light Middleweight and struggled at times with Mosley and Castillejo at the weight too. Hopkins however will have no trouble dismantling Allen IMO, a total mismatch and shows the weakness of the Middleweight division. As for Hopkins-DLH, i see Hopkins winning big maybe even stopping DLH late on - see Hopkins-Trinidad. A controlled beating, Hopkins is just class.

Any boxing on tonight? Man, it's dead since Sky got rid of most Saturday night fights.

[steve689]

Nope don't think so...the telly is brown bread as usual

[REAL_DEAL]

Not tonight

[REAL_DEAL]

:P

[jamesmcdonnell]

Damn! Hopkins looks in even better shape than usual. Allen is going to get whupped.

I think Oscar is going to have a hard night's work against Sturm, he might even lose, Sturm is no great at middleweight, but he's a pretty big middleweight and he's got decent skills.

That picture reminds me of Flava Flav from Public Enemy

I see the Sturm fight as being similar to the Castillejo one, Oscar dominated the Spaniard, he won every round and dropped him in the last – as ever his speed and jab were the keys.
The main concern I have about the German is he has decent hand-speed himself. He was a top class amateur and like it or not a 'world' titlist.
De La Hoya will win a comfortable decision.
As for Hopkins-De La Hoya – Bernard is rightly the favourite but I feel this is gonna be a very close decision.

How do you come to the conclusion that they are the best SuperMiddle weights?

Alright, I'll 'mark your words' :

E- See me (for a good kicking).

Oscar doesn't "punk out" of fights, who's he ever ducked?

He means they are the two best prospects in the world.

[stujones]

Fight of the night for me though is Lazcano vs Castillo.

[MightyWarrior]

I think Oscar is going to have a hard night's work against Sturm, he might even lose.

I'd say there's more chance of me banging Kate Beckinsale live on the BBC 6 o'clock news, than Strum winning.

[steve689]

Yes Lazcano-Castillo appeals to me too, i back Castillo by the way.
