    There's no way B-hop can be underestimated in this fight, I think he's paying a little too well in my opinion.. One thing I noticed in the Kessler fight, and B-hop's said it to, is that Calzaghe takes alot of risks at times (i.e dropping his hands, etc.) and I'm not sure whether someone of Hopkins' experience is one to try risks with.

    But in saying all this, I still think Calzaghe will finish the fight with his hand raised on a Majority Decision. I'm looking forward to this fight!

    Thanks for the link , What i find intresting in this fight is the two completely different ways in which both fighters are preparing for the fight , Hopkins has his dream team set in place with the very latest sport science to hand working in tandem with some of the best boxing trainers in the world today . will this be enough to beat Calzaghe who is very much an old school fighter in regards to training ? Will the older fighter with the new school training have enough to beat the Younger fighter with the old school training ? I reckon no ..Calzaghe's skill stamina and all round will to silence the idiots who belive you can only be considered a great of the sport if you fight and win in america wrong will be enough to cruise Calzaghe home and return here with the Ring mags Ring title @ L/Heavy . Enjoy the fight lads ....

    Yeah, he did have his hands low during the Kessler fight. I just think that it's a risk he can afford to take. Hopkins isn't going to be able to hurt him imo, though he will land his fair share of shots on him. Though it wont be enough.

    Shows like these are made to make the boxers look much more evenly matched than they actually are.
