    :yep

    All of this analysing Calzaghe vs. Hopkins is old, and while I have my reserves about the fight and what I will think happen, the HBO program has me pumped up for this fight.

    In forgetting pre-fight bias, you have to look at the names of the two combatants -

    This is Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Calzaghe we're talking about here. At the very least, we have two legendary fighters, one a universal legend and the other a newly cemented british legend sharing the ring and it'll be fun while it lasts.

    I really hope we get a good fight out of this, in the end. Hopkins' training camp looks really good, so does Calzaghe's.

    I'm going for a Calzhage TKO. Or at the very least a wide UD. Hopkins has had difficulty against boxers with high workrates (aka one British-Italian mofo).

    But I'm betting on the underdog so I might just put my vcash on Hopkins.

    :huh

    If you're that certain of a Calzaghe win then it makes no sense you put vcash on what you presume to be the loser.

    Because he's the underdog and he just might upset Calzhage. More VCASH for me. Convoluted logic I know.
