Calzaghe "I don't do rematches"

mario veit was mandatory for his WBO supermiddle weight belt thats why he fought him twice.

 

Hopkins ain't that old right ?

 

Hopkins ain't that old right ?

The man is 43 years old and still taking on the very best in the world unlike Joe.

 

Thats a load of crap................
The ref that night (cortez) gave hopkins every help possible. any other ref or any where else in the world , hopkins would have been deducted points or even DQ.

 

Yeah, go ahead an elaborate on that if it's a true statement.

 

Joe Calzaghe = the most hated champ in boxing. This thread is a shocker.

 

So you didnt see hopkins repeatably clinch, use his head, fake low blows, moaning to the ref all the time..... And what did cortez do...NOTHING

 

Since everyone is longing for a Calzaghe - Hopkins rematch, I really wonder what makes them think the fight result would be any different. Is Bernard going to let his hands go more and leave himself open to counters? Is he going to pressure Joe and save Joe the trouble of having to find Bernard like he did in the first fight. Is he going to try and set the pace against Calzaghe? Perhaps work the body more? Will he be able to adjust along with Joe as the fight goes on? I'm very interested to hear what people think. What will Bernard do when Joe takes away his jab and nullifies his right hand once again with superior angles and footwork? Fascinating.

 

what a great post atsch

 

i honestly think joe has the measure of him now. i'd predict a wider decision . calzaghe is the best in the world at adjusting his fight plan according to who he's fighting, he was improving as the first fight went on, and i think he'd continue where he left off.
hopkins would be that little bit older as well.
none of this is by any means certain of course, just my opinion but i couldn't see anything but another calzaghe win.
my thoughts are, whats the point in them fighting again ? they're both getting on, both have millions in the bank, the firstr fight was hardly a classic.

 

:huh? This is this stupidest statement I've ever read.

Joe just beat Hopkins. And now he's fighting another guy who also beat Hopkins. And Hopkins comes out on top of this equation how exactly?:think

 

You go ahead and point out specific instances where points should have been deducted - then we have something to talk about. Hopkins was providing alot of distractions, and nobody appreciated it, but it has to be specifically excessive to warrant deductions and Hopkins was spreading around the bad behavior doing different things. Faking low blows doesn't merit deductions, BTW, so let's not waste any time on that.

 

also, why would joe want to spend another night getting butted and elbowed ? i know i wouldnt.

 

If Calzaghe loses a close decision to Roy, then I'll bet that he'll want to do rematches.

 

Thats fine. I wonder if Roy beats him maybe he will ask for a rematch. Hhhmm.
