    That's what I noticed in the Kessler fight - Calzaghe's left arm is not making contact with his body and so when it comes out it is not compact, it's an arm countering, scoring shot - Bernard is most sure to counter much sharper and stronger. Hopkins now more than ever is all about negating his opponent so that he performs in the worse possible way. You have to have a lot of mental fortitude to do your thing and not get dragged into Mr. Hopkins mimics, provocations and distractions.

    B Hop. use his great ring movement and excellent use of angles to make calzaghe's jab a non-factor. Same way he took away winkys jab. When calzaghe gets in close hold an bully him and counter him with his sharp accurate right hands when Calzaghe drops his guard. Throw UPPERCUTS then slide to the left. Reset and try to do the same and make Calzaghe have to jump in to score. Thats about all he can do. Calzaghe just needs to not get physical or try to outsmart Bhop and he will get the win.
