this fight has gotten very personal,both guys have fiery temprements,im expecting some kind of fireworks at the final press conference&weigh-in.
To be honest i never had calzaghe down as the fiery type but i think that hopkins will bring it out of him. I hope something kicks off. I love the scuffles and banter that occurs at weigh ins etc.
Most likely. I think that both make the other uncomfortable which will lead to some highly skilled brawling.
Hopkins is going to try to upset Calzaghe...that's part of Hopkins' game. Make Calzaghe want to kill him, then sit back in the pocket all day, countering, frustrating, and annoying Calzaghe...
Huhh? Calzaghe is as macho as Eric Morales. You tag him hard and he just goes wild on your ass. Watch Brewer, Bika, Mitchell....
I expect the fight to be a chess match for a few sessions before a rough intensity developes and both men don't give and start to push for respect.. I can't split the two.. I think its a technical classic.. I know both men aren't he backing down type..
The weigh in is about the time that Calzaghe starts changing personality into some mental scary ****er, all Hops has seen uptil now is nice guy Joe. You`ll see fear his Hops face come the weigh in i guarantee it.
There could well be some fireworks at the press conf. and weigh-in! I reckon Hopkins would be happier with all that stuff. Play mind games. Calzaghe won't back down in the ring, he'll fire back with interest.
Joe has shown in fights with Bika, Mitchell and Brewer that when he is tagged and at his most vulnerable he does have a tendancy to flurry with his chin in the air. I hope he is not that wild , it may be the last thing he ever does against Hopkins...
