Bro, would you mind putting that video up? It sounds very interesting.

I can do it.

Hopkins won't know whats hit him, he's hasn't ever boxed anyone like Joe. Jeff Lacy all over again baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

the only thing that Lacy and Hop have in common, is that their both black and from america.

I have no doubt that Hopkins is in for a long night, but that is not to say he won't find a way to win.

His experience in "big fights" may be a factor, but to me it comes down to whether or not Joe C. can deal with Hopkins best weapon - his head. If Hopkins cuts Joe C. early, he will be able to use his rough and tough inside work to get a stoppage on cuts later in the fight.

On the other hand, if Joe C. is able to keep Hopkins off of him, he should be plenty busy enough to keep Hopkins from landing much.

On paper it looks like a "Decision Win" for the younger Joe C. - but Hopkins always has that "X-Factor" --- we shall see.....

open the poll damnit I have to vote

let me say I've only picked against Bernard Hopkins three times in my life. He lost two of them to Taylor and ended up beating Tarver. I picked Tarver because I thought Hopkins didn't throw enough punches anymore. I have learned one thing about B-Hop and that is that he never takes a fight he doesn't believe he SHOULD win. He does not see himself as the underdog at all and definitely has a plan. I came down to the wire before the Wright fight and finally went with B-Hop, but Calzaghe throws a lot more punches than Wright and will make Hopkins fight every minute. I think Calzaghe is going to edge this one 115-113 based on workrate. Plus, Hopkins needs to lose so he can finally retire. He will never quit as long as he is winning.
