What tactic will Hopkins use tonight?

Grab alot... counter some... if he gets tired pretend to get hit in the balls... rinse and repeat...

 

Grab, throww a little shoulder, grind head, spin him and move away. Look for shots on way out. Repeat. over and over.

 

you gotta say though the way he propels his head like that must be pretty frieghtening

 

Headbutt-rabbit punch-low blow combo, and then finish it with a full-nelson to armbar submission

 

same tactics as tarver fight. You have to remember BHOP doesn't have the 1 punch KO power, so i can only see him winning on points.


Anyone know what time in the UK the fight is?

 

3am gmt

 

I'd imagine at some stage he feigns injury in typical Hopkins fashion.

 

Haha, you guys are rough on Hopkins. He didn't win 51 fights with headbutts and rabbit punches.

 

yeah man but dont worry hopkins will ride off into the sunset with his head held highest

 

Haha, that's what I'm hoping for.

 

dont worry itll happen, bhop is one of those ones that history remembers better than their own era. enjoy his career while he is hear and learn from the man, you are witnessing something special.

 

headbutts

 

Would you say he is the best boxer of this era?

His name gets brought up a lot in that discussion, I've also heard Toney, Floyd, Pacman and Roy Jones thrown in.

 

I personally would have it between hopkins, pacquiao, mayweather and jones.

However, i believe that if Hopkins wins tonight, that he will have one or two more very special things happening in his career before he goes. And if all goes well and he does, then yes, he will be the best of this era.

 

Ya I think that's about right.
