Hopkins Calzaghe Press Conference Video & Photos

Don't belittle Hopkins! He only learnt to walk upright this morning......

 

A lot is made of Manfredo, but who was he supposed to fight?

The ambition was to unify the division eventually, and negotiations of that sort always take a while. It was a keep busy fight, and at the same time it continued to get him press in America

He could have fought mandatory, Robert Stieglitz, but what the ****s the point. The Yanks don't pay attention unless you bitchslap one of their boys around

When alls said and done and Joe retires, he will invite his ever increasing list of Yank victims to the Newbury gym. They can't run forever. Hopkins, Pavlik, Lacy and Brewer will become sparring partners for Gavin Rees. Manfredo will sweep the floors

 

MasterCalzaghe will be most upset when he discovers someone else has been using his account.

 

The tagline for the fight sucks ass. Battle of the planet, in the planet hollywood ring? It's obviously trying to promote planet hollywood, but damn, i mean, come on.:roll:

I sure hope that's not the final tagline for the fight.

 

I get the feeling that the whole event will be a damp squib... tagline and all

 

I don't see it. This is gonna be a great fight I think.

 

I agree. People are such pessimists.

 

Aww what happened?

 

Shall I assume that comment was accompanied by the normal sarcastic undertone that comes with most posts on this board?

 

Joe ran over his cat

On a serious note, make sure you watch Ajose tomorrow dan-b

I rate that kid, he's got a future in this division at world level

 

Where are you watching this?

 

JC gave up the belt as TV didnt want to know about a fight with Steiglitz. And frankly, I cant blame a TV company for that. He cant be expected to fight for free... without TV thats just about what it would be.

And Dan, stop being a dick with the Tocker Pudwill thing. As you well know he was a late replacement for a very good fighter.

 

Pretty sure it's on Skysports Friday Fight Night

 

Yup 9.30pm. Top man.:good

 

Guess it made a change to Joe pulling out ay?
