If these 2 meet up again by march, who wins this fight? I think Hopkins schools him even more and makes look more ameteurish for a UD in the rematch.
I am tired of the phrase "schools him"... Is it at all possible to "school" someone when you lose on points?
Only way to beat Nard is by getting in some love taps and thats it. joe cant land clean shots on Nard let alone knock him out. I think next fight would be even but I give the slight edge to Calzaghe its just his inefficient work rate that puts points up.
Depends on whether or not Hopkins goes all offense like he did against Pavlik. If he resorts back to Old B-Hop from 04 to recent memory, Calzaghe STILL UDs him.
Hell are you talking about,they fought at 175 limit(LHW) and both weighed 173. Anyway would Bernard lose twice to the same white boy
I agree it's not possible to school someone when you lose on points . It's also not possible to "dominate" a boxer when you get dropped and take a split decision win. Both sides of this discussion have used hyperbole to state their cases.
I'm not sure how this one will go, but I'd give Hopkins a better chance if he has Nazim Richardson playing a prominent role in his corner again, unlike the first fight when Freddie Roach was the primary guy.
