Hopkins will lose due to stoppage by cuts and swelling. Calzahge will cuff the "F" out of Hopkins' face and theyll stop it...........Rockin'

[Mr. Ryan]

I sincerely doubt a knockout is going to happen here. Outside of Manfredo, Calzaghe hasn't been knocking anyone out. Hopkins doesn't fight a fight that produces knockouts anymore. He's content to separate himself from opponents by countering, taking their confidence and winning rounds by default.

If anyone is going to score a KO, it's Hopkins. He's more likely to catch Calzaghe with a shot he doesn't see then the other way around. Calzaghe exposes himself a lot more than Hopkins. Hopkins' best punch, besides the right hand, is his right uppercut and I see this being an effective punch with Calzaghe who comes in square at times.

How would Calzaghe score a knockout, by flooding Hopkins with punches? Would Hopkins just stand there and let Calzaghe just wail on him? I don't think so....

Thats exactly how it will happen. Hopkins has slowed considerably, add that to the fact that Calzaghe likes to come in with quick slapping/cuffing punches and then roll out. Hopkins will be a step behind the whole fight I believe. It will be a stoppage though, not KO.................Rockin'
