Hopkins vs Cloud - Final Predictions?

Hopkins easier that the pascal fight. Cloud is a muscle bound bum who got out boxed by campillo

 

How long until the fight starts?

An hour an a half?

 

Keep in mind NY is the state that retired Holyfield after he fought Larry Donald...

if this ends bad Hopkins will end up retired which is the good news

 

Its funny that its a tough call when one of the fighters is 48. But then Hopkins isnt a normal 48 year old.
I will go with Hopkins, even at his age to pull out a UD in a fight where Cloud cant work due to Hopkins holding alot and Cloud not sure what to do.

 

Hopkins by decision if he is the same or hasn't declined TOO much since the Pascal fight, also don't rule out Hopkins getting a stoppage as he is still a decent puncher EVEN at LHW.

Cloud by decision or LATE stoppage if Hopkins has declined SIGNIFICANTLY.

One thing that i will say though whether Hopkins wins or loses this fight i think he should retire he is one of the greatest Middleweights of all time and he had a VERY solid run at LHW so he's got nothing left to prove i mean he's the OLDEST man to win a World championship in boxing history while beating people HALF his age or close to half his age.

And lets not forget AT LEAST 3 of his losses are debatable.

 

Hopkins UD.

No ifs or buts. Hopkins still has too much for Cloud to handle.

Ideal situation for the headlines is if the fight ends in round 9, whoever wins.

 

Apparently the fights off Cloud got caught sticking his finger up a domestic cats bum and has been arrested.

 

Guys... these two won't get overrun with people wanting to watch the fight. Because 1) Hopkins has a boring style.. let's face it, and 2) noone knows Cloud.

So... let's get some time slot on the table to allow at least a few people to see the fight.

How many hours until kick off?

 

What dya mean they wont rob Hopkins???? He was blatantly robbed in his fights with Taylor 1 & 2, Calzaghe & the "draw" with Pascal.
Sadly Bernard has to win this clearly preferably by KO, to ensure he gets the win

Execute Bernard Execute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cloud UD.

Hopkins is experienced and defensively adept, but I don't think he's going to be able to prevent Cloud from walking into punching range or contain him on the inside. I'm also not certain that he;s going to be able to take Cloud's punches without getting buzzed or dropped and while I think he survives, the rounds that Cloud wins as a result of hurting B-Hop should be enough to earn him the decision.

That's what I expect to occur...I hope like hell that I'm wrong.

 

He started too late against Taylor. But granted the fights were close and Hopkins could have gotten one of them.

Against Calzaghe Bernard honestly won only 1 or 2 rounds. In the rest he was completely outworked. Calzaghe's work rate was just way too much for him to handle.

 

ROFLMAO You do not have a clue do ya .. Bernard is a very happily married healthy wealthy guy who loves the fight game.atsch

 

Aww c'mon be honest How many of Calzaghe's blows were legal blows???? Take away the slaps ( inside of the glove used to be called lacing) which are ILLEGAL!! Take away the blatent low blow & the rabbit punches. Add the many that Hopkins dodged or blocked & I doubt it woul add up to 20 Not to mention the knockdown & attempted sexual assault by Slappy Jo.. Hell Yeah Hopkins was robbed

 

Your objective then?

GTFOH!!

I don't like Joe but to say Hopkins was robbed is just ****ing stupid and deluded, Hopkins won about two rounds clearly, please tell me what your scorecard was that has Hopkins being robbed..



********.:hi:
