    Boring for the neutral

    From my point of view it will be exciting to see Joe put a whooping on that snaggletoothed, racist thug

    If Calzaghe controls the tempo---exciting.

    If Hopkins takes over----change the channel-type boring.

    I think Joe wins so I go with exciting.

    Exciting watching it live, but I've a feeling that it won't be being watched too many times on Youtube with that element of surprise gone.

    It's the anticipation of who can impose their style on the other guy. Will Benard be able to shut Calzaghe down? Will Calzaghe just simply make a mockery of Hopkin's craftyness and pepper away at him with his usual array of punches?

    It's a purists dream.

    If you find the punch and grab intriguing then this will do it for you. For the rest of us it's going to suck.

    Two boxers = boring and tacticle fight ... I like boxing but i'm not putting my all into a KO.

    I think that Calzaghe more so than Hopkins will start off showing respect and may not get into a groove. Hopkins has been in this position before and won't let the moment get to him and the fact that its going to be on regular HBO is nothing more than a regular fight.

    Its something big for Calzaghe because is his first fight in the states and he has to make adjustments to the crowd and the atmosphere.

    Bernard is going to fight is same fight and make it an ugly fight ...

    He might for the 1st round and a half, after that he'll let his hands go. Calzaghe doesn't try to steal fights, he's a warrior as he showed in the 12th against Kessler, having a brawl when he could have got on his bike.

    A contradiction - but I know what you're getting at.
