This Fight is going to be a LOT harder than both fighter's think.. When it's all said and done. Both Joe & Bernard will have A New found respect for eachother Guranteed. It's gonna be a toss up, Hopkins looks to be in excellent condition. You Know Joe's gonna be in top form aswell. Neither one is considered "Young" by boxing standards. Both fighters are going in equal IMO. Hopkins experience, makes up for the age advantage Joe might have. Gonna be a tuff but very Foul filled bout... (My prediction) Can't wait until Sat.
I pick Calzaghe close decision, but Hopkins is a rough, tough man, he'll try to intimidate Calzaghe, been in with better comp. than Calzaghe overall and usually makes the other man fight HIS fight. Interesting fight alright.
My conclusion was that HBO really love Calzaghe. Manny Steward and those other commentator guys really go to town when they talk about him. I don't think it gave us any clues whatsoever about the fight specifically. It was just some glorified celebritizing.
I can't make a call on this one..yet. I'll have to pick one side or the other before the week for the prediction league.
you americans are seriously underestimating calzaghe, even though I want hopkins to win I just dont see how he can do it at his age.
hopkins has been doing it for years! nate campbell won title at 36 calzaghe is 36 and he won the kessler fight against a young 28 year old kessler age doesnt play a factor to a bernard hopkins
