Hopkins has looked like **** for a long time. Big deal. It's a big part of his fighting style. He's going to maul poor Calzaghe.
The point is, he gets away with it against a blown up LMW, or a nobody like Tarver Against the elite his lack of stamina and punch output is going to be ruthlessly exposed. Hence the odds How much did he lose you against Taylor?
I already mentioned the odds. Closer to fight time though when the odds on "Calzaghe by decision" comes out that would probably be the right bet if you are betting Calzaghe IMO.
I'm going £500 on Joe by decision. Even the Yank judges with their stars and stripes ultra-bias edition sunglasses won't ruin this one for me. I see it as a 80% chance I might put a bit of my vCash on Joe by stoppage mind, that's a 20% chance and I'll get a good price I suspect
The only time Joe will be going to school is in retirement. He will give inspiring, motivating speeches to the youngsters on how to become an an unbeaten, 2 weight world champion
well assuming i have anything in my bankroll after this weekend's fight (i have roy for a huge number), i'll probably place a hundo or two on hopkins to win based primarily on the odds, which i don't feel reflect his actual chances for winning the fight... he should probably be a 3-to-2 or 2-to-1 dog, so i figure it's a good value bet
