Calzaghe vs. Hopkins

[Frutos]

Big fight this weekend, anyone care to offer their thoughts/predictions?

Personally, I think Calzaghe will win, and fairly comfortably at that. I think he may well even become the first to stop Hopkins.

Prediction: Calzaghe TKO11 Hopkins

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Calzaghe to win by 6th Round KO

 

[the hitman]

Tough one to call really but if im pushed ill pretty much agree with your TKO11, frutos.

If Hopkins is to win, he will have do so fairly early on because his age will start to show.

Im expecting a very evan start to the fight with Joe's dominance starting to show after 6.

Not really a fan of Calzaghe but do hope he beats that ****.

Hopkins will never be beaten by a white boy.......but he will be beaten by a latin welsh boy!

TKO in R11 is a good shout.

calzaghe all the way! anyone know approx what time the fight starts on satanta?

about 3-30 to 4am ish.....

I predict calzaghe to win on points but win alsmost every round. Hopkins is dirty and defensive and i dont predict a good fight.

Will still watch though in the hope calzaghe smashes him up.

I reckon it will go the distance. Points victory for the taffy.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

79 birthdays between them, bless them, angry old men.
Go on Joe batter him, son.

 

[Ernest]

I can't see this being an exciting fight and with Cortez reffing anything could happen and Hopkins steals a points decision.

 

[Napper]

points , calzaghe split

 

[wehatepalace]

I'm gonna go with Hopkins, Just reckon he may pinch this on points

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Calzaghe's volume of punches and work rate will be more than enough to take care of an ageing once very good fighter, but whose career has been on the wane for a little while now.

Calzaghe in the 7th

 

[desprateseagull]

Big Joe in 7. he is younger, and I guess fitter (in a health sense, mind..)

also not carrying as much BS around as the other guy..

 

[Captain Haddock]

JC in the 9th!

 

[csider]

Funny on tv interview t' other day. Hopkins pal said something along the lines of 'you will beat the english fella with the funny accent'

JC in the 5th. Gonna have a bet on that one.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that JC will need to knock Hopkins out because he will not get a points victory in Vegas.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No post yet asking for the free TV feeds for the fight?

 

[Questions]

Hopkins retires on stool at end of 11th protesting to his men that he is ok a minute later.
