Bernard Hopkins: "I Will Punish Calzaghe Slowly"

[RAESAAD]

He's going to do something ******. He's lost his mind at the prospect of this fight. When the reality comes in and Joe has swept the first seven or eight rounds, Hopkins will do something akin to the Tyson ear biting incident.

LOL....I don't think he'd go that far. He is not ******ed like Tyson. But I can see some headbutts and elbows flying.

Yeah I guess you're right. Hopkins does have a temper though

i hope no one come up with the excuse that joe is a blown-up smw when this fight is over......he said himself he is comfortable at the weight

There are no size issues here. Now Hopkins did make his fame beating smaller men, to an almost laughable extent, but Joe is not such a man.

Oh great....

Bernard is my favorite fighter out there right now, but he cannot win this fight throwing 30 punches a round and that's what I see happening. "Punish Calzaghe slowly..." = "I will fight my fight, and I will not be punching that much."

Calzaghe is going to take a comfortable UD here, I think. His style is the worst possible match for Hopkins at this point of his career.

[THE REED]

yeah... too slowly... which is why youll lose.

[-EX-]

Hopkins by death...lol

I think Bernard will do everything he can to win(IF he really wants to win this fight). He may use every trick he knows to score and hurt his opponent. He's gonna have to make Joe miss by either moving a lot or keeping it in the center of the ring. I'd rough Joe up a lot during clinches and hit opposite the side of the ref like he's done before. Don't be suprised if Joe looks somewhat different after the fight after a few headbutts/low blows/etc.

Bernard might try to make it a streetfight if he can't do it boxing wise.

[BrooklynBomber]

If be punishing slowly he means boring Joe to death than he is proably right.

Bernard is a great in fighter, but I think alot of people have overlooked that skill in Joe. He is no angel on the inside, rewatch some of the Lacy fight in the clinches, he does alot on the other side of the ref too.

I like Bernard, he is a real character, but i think Joe has too much for him.

i'm not one to overlook joe i think he is very good fighter. i just hate when keep talking about his offense and that's it. whoopy you threw 1000 in the match....i would be really impress if they all landed. everyone keep saying bhop only throw 6 punches a round if you are talk about the Taylor fights i agree but since then his number has increased.the crazy thing is they used to say this about now say it mayweather bhop is boring? to people who is used to watching action packed fight with blood come out(gatti). please stop using the excuse he always fought smaller men now u just discredit everybody that ever box by making that statement. when the opponent signs that contract he is saying that i feel like i'm comfortable at the weight, i can beat this man, i'm going to bring a game. this what they get paid for. i honestly think this fight can go either way but i rooting for my boul bhop. at the end of the day they both are great and somebody got to lose and that person fans is going to be mad(it was a robbery) ever lose is not a robbery. that like me saying racism each time somebody white come at me crazy.

i just can't for apr 19 it going to be good
