Okay, so BWin has the odds for the April 19th showdown and Calzaghe is a HEAVY favorite. Here're the odds: JOE CALZAGHE: 1.35 or -285 or 7/20 D 23.00 or +2200 or 22/1 BERNARD HOPKINS 3.15 or +215 or 43/20 And just another question: are you ready to put your money on the fighter you're backing?
IMO the ref is worth 2 points either way in this fight and until we know who the ref is it would be unwise to bet on calzaghe at those low odds. i see a very close fight anyway and get a ref who lets the fight be a spoiling /ugly fouling affair , which is very likely with the 2 styles then IMO hopkins wins it.
I will be putting my money on Calzaghe. He will easily take this fight imo. Far too busy for old Hopkins,,,,I just don't see how JC could lose this one
Oh yeah! I like Joe in this fight but the odds are good for Hopkins. They definitely made it hard for us. I'll probably hesitate to the end and unless I'll be absolutely sure that Calzaghe will win this fight I'll probably put some money on BHop. As I put money on him in the Tarver fight. Speaking of Tarver, I put money on him in the 2nd Jones fight... :good
Hopkins all the way. I'd love to see a knockout but realistically it will probably be a close UD & if I'm lucky might see Joe dropped Kabary Salem style where he won't be hurt but just caught off balance. Seeing the "old man" drop Joe would be sweet.
It all depends on whether the ref lets Calzaghe punch with an open glove. If the ref doesn't let him the odds on Hopkins look very good.
You can get 8/15 there from William Hill. Ive got £150 on Calzaghe to win. Which is about 3 times the amount I have ever bet. I hope to **** Joe wins.
If you like the Hopkins odds then take them soon, in a fight like this the odds will close as the fight approaches.
Boxing's the worst sport to bet on if you can't afford it given there are only two men involved & either one can lose suddenly.atsch
