    Calzaghe has balls the size of churchbells to fight Hopkins in Vegas, Hopkins home turf. Calzaghe must know that he referee and judges will be very much against him, yet he took this fight. I just hope he will not be cheated, but Calzaghe can win this fight in spike of having to fight he judges and ref.

    i agree 100% the only thing that worries me is B-Hops defence and counter punching. The judges seem to love it - he doesnt waste any punches and makes every single one count. Im worried that he will be able to block alot of Calzaghe's flurries and come back with precise shots at the end of Joes combos. He has adapted really well to his slowing workrate- doing enough to win rounds and fighting consistantly over the 12 rounds

    Calzaghe should win this fight, but will he get a level playing field?

    Will you be able to watch this fight?

    Ole Popkins has to be respected, this fight is going to be closer than most think.

    Yeah the Pig n wiss shows all the big fights in Brisbane but its PPV for me at home...it might cost $40 but I spend more than that on cabs, beer and food.

    At home is good but I enjoyed the atmosphere at the Pig n Wistle...then again I think it had a bit to do with my seating and company.

    We'll have to stick around after it, or depending on what time it finishes we should pop over to the SCG and watch Souths and The Tigers play.

    Looks like a good afternoon of sport. :good
