    I wish i was paid off... lol..

    Oliver I have known for 15 years and his son since he was five, i just know that when a Big Bulky Rugby player turned fighter takes on a formet heavyweight champion at any age, Its game over... The title here means absolutely zero... Hopoate is in for a struggle and its 23 years of heavyweight seasoning plays a couple of easy padded record aussie bouts.. Only one outcome, Oliver probably will cry some serious tears too, sad that he may have to once again **** up some clowns record and even hurt a kid who is not even close to knowing what he is going to be up against.........

    BigCat... I read a lot of your post and remain aware of the greats you've rubbed shoulders with..... very, very impressive list of names, and a reason to be respectful to you mate.

    **** McCall.. I hope Hoppa knocks his block off.

    Peace out Brotha'

    Imo McCall, even in his mid 40's, will be too much for Hoppa to handle and i see Hoppa being stopped after 5 or so rounds after giving his all. Credit to Hoppa for getting out of his comfort zone after defeating Mirovic and taking on tougher fighters overseas. Hoppa doesn't have half the natural ability of Solomon Haumono yet he leaves him for dead with his desire to succeed and test himself.

    fair enough Bigcat....i dont expect Hoppa to win but who knows....he is a quick learner so maybe he will pad his gloves margarito styles eh? :yep

    like someone said....hoppa is giving it a go, and i dont think Ollie will be doing too much crying over Hoppas record.....unless that record ends up with his name on the wrong side of the ledger if he loses.:-(

    I guess the odds will have to like 150-1..... so im putting a buck or two on Hoppa just in case :rasta

    Head to Head
    McCall
    1.75



    Hopoate
    2.05


    Is it just me or can anybody else believe how ridiculous these odds are?
    McCall 1.75? what the ****? I'll be taking a piece of that action.

    I have to admit, if i was a sports better, i would have to think seriously about putting a few grand on McCall. Hopoate only at $2.05 is astonishing.

    Yeah I said maybe strength. If Hoppa can't bull McCall around the ring the way he does everyone else he won't stand a chance. He can't outbox McCall, he can't win trading with him so his only chance is to smother him and wear him down. Can't really see it happening though. McCall KO4!

    These are the craziest fight odds I've seen all year. Plus money on an over involving a fighter with arguably the best chin in half a century, and two to one favorite odds on a heavyweight who hasn't fought in almost two years.

    I give up.
