Hopkins-Calzaghe- Will there be a knockout?

[sparked_85]

The Welshman will probably get a late TKO with hopkins. Like the Manfedo fight but this time with no typical fraud english limey ref involved.

That stoppage was horrible.

He stopped it just as that fight was getting ****ing hilarious.

Round 4 would have been hysterical, Joe could have hit him with every shot in the book, and a few random ones he just made up.

That ref ****ed over 30,000 spectators and many millions more watching.

Oh crap I misread. I thought Ko said no and I picked that.

I meant decision.

[Pugilistic™]

it should end with a decision, a ko is very unlikely

[Burner]

I think B-Hop stops him.

[STEELHEAD]

I predict a come from behind KO by Hopkins in the lucky 13th round, n00b.

I Picked K.O.

2 ways.


Calslappy is too much for B-Hop and possibly gets a stoppage.
This is a lrge test for hopkins.. Slapmaster throws alot of punches, and he's no dummy. If Sir-Slapsalot finds his range early*(which is hard against hopkins as we all can see from previous fights)* and can get to the body I think Age will start to show and it will be blamed on how old hopkins was. TKO-9

Hopkins is a King at counter punching... And "Slap happy Hands" throws alot of punches.
Does no one think B-HOP will land any counters from the massive amount of punches "Slapping Dragon" throws. If hopkins can respond fast enough to the openings that "The Slapin King" creates It might be counter punches that end the night. KO-8-11



I love hopkins and hope he wins.. BUTTTTT I'M LEANING TOWARDS CALZAGHE TO MAKE THIS HIS SHINING MOMENT .. AMONG MANY.

I voted a KO. As I have posted in an earlier thread I think JoeC will slap B-hop silly for a late stoppage.

I just cant see an old hopkinosaurus being able to land enough leather to get Joe in trouble. Joe by stoppage late perhaps by mercy from the ref.

if you guys are interested i'm giving 2:1 that calzaghe/hopkins fight goes to the scorecards.check out my bet prop in

aside from hopkins/wright, i've never seen a fight less likely to end in a stoppage than this

[MAXWELL_]

figure this will be a chess game.
hopkins is good at controlling the pace. and will try to throw cal off his game plan.
cal by decision!

Number one weapon against a southpaw is the lead right, and nobody throws it better than Hopkins. Ask Winky, Tarver, and every other top ranked southpaw that was ranked at or near the top when Hopkins fought them.

Surely you admit there's a very large gap in class between Calzaghe and those two?

Try age, dude. Hopkins is 43 years old. Ten years ago Calzaghe would have no chance in hell. I'm so tired of fighters lurking on the old. And why do they get so much credit for it? Is it people don't realize you shouldn't be fighting at 43?
