Hopkins tactics against Calzaghe

[Crazylegs77]

Hopkins main objective....make it UGLY

Assume fair judging, no fouls from either side and 100% from both guys.

If we assume those things, which is unsafe, he has no chance at all. I don't think he could win more than two rounds with fair judging and reffing, as well as no fouls

I'm sure Calzaghe is expecting this as well so I'd also expect him to have his own plan for dealing with Hopkins tactics

The Calzaghes have never had a plan in 80-90 fights, amateur and pro, and have never lost.

They won't have a plan

[FRKO]

There's no point in having a plan, those guys have got it right. Better to be adaptable to any situation.

But really, WTF. Too many people speak like they know how to win a fight better than Calzaghe, as though he's some bumbling moron who doesn't understand what it takes to beat Hopkins. Boxing forums are ludicrous. We get people who've been a fan of boxing for a year or two, explaining in detail how a professional boxer who's been eating, sleeping and ****ting boxing for 26 years needs to win a fight with a 43 year old man. Trust me, Calzaghe and his father have been studying Hopkins for at least a decade.

Hold, headbutt, elbow, shoulder, push, headbutt, hold and repeat. It will be the ugliest fight you will ever see on the highest level. I predict booing from about the 3rd round on.

Karma and five-star this mother****er

Right back at you, sir.

[Sin City]

more and more of the same.. head butts and rabbit punches.
expect plenty of those.

I think he'll do a lot of lateral movement causing Calzaghe to come foward then counter and making Calzaghe's weakness shows.

After he hits he'll tie him up and he'll make it rough on the inside frustrating Calzaghe. Hopkins should not come foward and he needs to make Calzaghe come foward at all times.

[KingTito]

I think he's gonna try and make Joe follow him around the ring and counter punch the **** out of him.
