According to FWTV it has now been confirmed Joe Calzaghe will fight Bernard Hopkins (at light heavyweight) on April 19th in Las Vegas.
Looks like it might be two trips to Vegas in two months for me! Even though i'm in the minority, i have always liked watching Bernard Hopkins. He has an old school, methodical approach to his work that i admire. Bernard is a throwback fighter in the way he grinds his opponent to a halt whilst wasting little. A class act, in the ring at least.
And as camp as Dale Winton out. Great fights coming up lets hope were not sent running with our tails between our legs again though.
Lucky you! I hope Calzaghe gets a lot of fans out there and doesn't suffer from a lack of support in Vegas because brit fans are still paying for their last trip to see Hatton.
Amen the guy is a quality professional and has improved so much over the years, I really rate him and don't think Calzaghe will beat him.
Apparently some fans have booked their flights for the wrong date as it had been prematurely reported that the fight would take place on the 12th and not the 19th. Not good.
