After Bernard Hopkins recently disrespected Joe Calzaghe's father/trainer, Enzo Calzaghe, the Welsh super middleweight champion has vowed to brutally punish Hopkins on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
"Hopkins keeps calling himself a living legend but at the end of the day he's still lost four fights," Calzaghe told The Sun. "He's been beaten four times, which is four times more than I have, so I don't give a sh*t what he says. He can talk bullsh*t all he likes — let's see what happens in the fight. My dad Enzo is a good caller of fights and he's told me that if I fight like I usually do, I'll beat the sh*t out of Hopkins."
Calzaghe has not spent hours of trying to figure Hopkins out, he watched his last fight (with Winky Wright) and then went to work in the gym.
"I've hardly watched Hopkins, hardly seen any of his fights. I watched his last fight, that's all, but that's all I ever do. It's all I did before I fought Mikkel Kessler as well. All I need to know is whether he's right-handed or left-handed and whether he likes to come forward or stay back — and that's about it," Calzaghe said.
"There's no point watching a load of his past fights because you can look a million dollars against one guy and then look sh*t against the next. I have a quick look at my opponent's style, then I just go in and do my thing."
