Hes gonna stop B-HOP.
No way can you stop Calzaghes work rate. Unlimited holding, nothing will work to get Joe down to throwing 50 punches a round which is what B-HOP wants.
Joe TKO/KO rounds 6-9 -
There will be no T.K.O or K.O in this fight. Its gonna go one direction and that is U.D. Joe doesn't have the power to bring anything other then that and B-Hop isn't the puncher he used to be. All I can say is that Joe will be VERY uncomfortable in the ring and will be nailed by counter right straights down the middle.Comment

I do agree that it'll be a UD though, no KO and no TKO because the ref will feel he has to give B-hop every chance of staying 12 rounds, wouldn't want to dent the old mans pride, but he will get a good battering in this fight 'a la Jeff Lacy' I can guarantee you that.Comment

Funny, you must be talking about the Calzaghe pre-Robin Reid, around 9 years ago! Since then he's NEVER taken a counter-right battering again, i.e. Kessler, one of the best right hands out there and fast too, hardly caught Calzaghe all night! B-hop will hitting fresh air.

I go back and forth about what I think is going to happen. My head says Joe will win because he's just that good...but then it comes back with "Yeah but Bernard is good at rising to the occasion..." and "Bernard seems to have no trouble with lefties..." and then "But Joe is THAT good..."
Guess I'll just have to wait.Comment

Calzaghe v. B-hop
Oh, he will be ready for it . Did you see Kessler hurt him with it? Nope, and Bernard is nowhere near the puncher that Kessler is. It will be a one sided butt slap when they meet. No KO, because Hopkins does have a good chin, Prolly because his halfway retarted brain cant be fazed due to the excessive matter between it and his scull. LOL, still cant wait for the fight.Comment
