    Hopkins might get outboxed, might get this and that or get embarassed worse than Lacy or ANYTHING, but no way this fight is gonna end in stoppage or KO.
    No way Hopkins scores a KO, and only a very slim chance Joe does. That slim chance I speak of is only if Joe lands a long volley of clean punches and the ref stands in. No one touches the canvas in this one

      I'm picking BHop, but primaily because i like him better then Joe. For my man Bhop to win, he needs to be active & throw tons of counters. He can't be stagnent like he was for him vs Taylor I. If he is, its gonna be a win for Joe by a huge margin. Come on Bhop, your a legend, don't let us down, you old bastard. haha

        Euros post earlier in the day than Americans. It won't still be 87-13 tonight. 65-35 is more likely

          Exactly. Joe might land a big combination, but that's all I see happening in this first as far as Hopkins getting "hurt" by the slapper.
          I ain't really got anything against Calzaghe he just slaps .

            When Calz was young he hit for power. He knocked guys across the ring. But now he slaps, pulls punches, and even throws little arm punches like in the Manfredo styoppage. That was really just touching Peter's face and discouraging him

              Yeah, that was a bull**** stoppage. Manfredo is a bum, but those punches wouldn't hurt anybody. All he was doing was just touching him gently(Sounds gay.. ) And that British ***** ass ref stopped the fight. Manfredo wasn't HURT. You don't stop the fight when someones not hurt.. That looked like amatuer sparring to me, and Manfredo - I repeat: Wasn't hurt.

                No he wasn't hurt and the stoppage was terrible. But Manfredo was clearly way out of his league. He just froze up. Mentally that flurry destroyed him. How many unasnwered punches did Joe throw? Thirty?

                The bigger mistake than the stoppage was that fight ever taking place

                  It was a matter of time before Manfredo was KO'd. The stoppage was ridiculous but it was a matter of time.

                    Yeah, Manfredo was out of his league. But personally I'd rather go 8-9 rounds maybe before getting KO'd and not getting a bull**** stoppage when you already known for being a reality star boxer.

                    I actually think Manfredo would have lasted atleast 5-6 more rounds.
                    Manfredos got a decent chin, and Calzaghes power is about as deadly as Sergio Moras! haha and Manfredo ate some good flurries in their two matches so I wouldn't be suprised if Manfredo would have went 7-9 rounds.

                      As I said, matter of time. Those would've been 8 or 9 one sided rounds.
