This will be a close fight. My heart says Bhop might take it, but I simply think that Calzaghe will have a little bit too much for him.
Hopkins makes some good points here though. Some exaggerated, but he knows what he's talking about nonetheless.
Does Bernard have a speech problem? just wondering..
I believe he does, its called speaking the truth.
I think this fight is going to be very similar to the Tito fight, domination culminating with a late KO or stoppage.
Neither one of these fighters have ever looked like getting TKO'd. It will be interesting to see which Bernard shows up. Will he go in trying to get an early lead, then run away like he did with Eastman?? Will he try ultra dirty like Echols / Winky?? The 1000 chances to counterpunch doesn't wash though, shit I'm just looking forward to a fight between two wily vetrans. You can't count Hopkins out for a number of reasons, Joe's hands, Bernard's head, the Judges in 50:50 rounds, but I'm still going with Joe - he won't underestimate Bernard.
Does Bernard have a speech problem? just wondering..
yeah, he's trying to not speak ghetto slang and he's trying to use big words, not his strong suit....................
if he were talking like he talks to people who are close to him, other than it being all slang, you would be able to make out what he says better.
