Is the Ref gonna allow Hopkins to use this in the ring?

Fatigue because he is 86 years old, but not because of who he was as a fighter in his younger years.Hopkins will be competitive for the first half of the fight what Im looking forward to seeing is rounds 9-12 when Joe just keeps throwing and throwing...Nard will be forced to fight at a pace he has never fought at before EVER and those last few rounds could possibly produce a stoppage or a knockdown based upon pure fatigue.

Tell me about it. Philly has so much potential but never lives up to it, athough way back in the day it was a top city.
It starts with the people, even though the Mayor is a big part to blame, but still, the people vote him in.Comment

One thing you can't argue is that Hopkins is one of the best fighters from rounds 8-12. He really makes his marks in the late rounds.Comment

Worst Fight of the Year.
This fight has Worst Fight of the Year all over it. It's going to make Taylor/Hopkins II look like a slugfest.Comment

Tarver made the same joke and actually brought a walker and a wooden rocking chair to a press conference. He also bet $250,000 he'd knock Bernard out in 5. Remember how that turned out?

Point being, never count out old man Hopkins, even at his ancient age of 68.
Calzaghe may very well win, but Hopkins is a freak when it comes to his health and conditioning. The man is a machine and is in better shape at his old age then lots of guys 10-15 years younger.Last edited by ИATAS; 01-11-2008, 12:19 PM.Comment

You are wrong twice.
1) Hopkins is 42, nearly 43.
2) we wont have to count him out, the ref will do that after Calzaghe KO's the old fraud.
Calzaghes workrate and vastly underrated punching power will wear the old man down before he puts him down in the 9th and proves to the racist **** he will lose to a white boy
