    Calzaghe but no Pryce

    How might this be a factor in the fight a sparring partner down.... i know its only the lats few days but still.... im guessing not ideal.
    I hope the step up in weight brings some power back to Joe, thats the only thing that worries me is if he doesnt stop BHOP he becomes subject to judges and BHOP tactics.


    Still only a newbie as you can see ...

    Calzaghe probably will get robbed if this fight is close at all. And when I mean close, I mean close as in its obvious Calzaghe dominated 7 rounds out of 5. Calzaghe is fighting in the states, they will try what ever the have to do to steal it away from him. He can't give up one round because thats how ****ed up the scoring is in America. Americas scoring is almost as bad as Germanys.

        Reid/Ottke anyone? I know that was in Germany, but trust me when I say the scoring isn't much different in the states.

          It could be very costly come fight night because he may not be as prepared as he wants to be and you have to be prepared against Hopkins.

            And what about the lack of a psarring partner?? Well he has one i have heard but thats Nathan Cleverly (think thats how its spelt) who i think could definately be one to watch.

              It won't have a chance of been like Reid/Ottke mate because Joe will win every round, seriously, I'm THAT confident he'll dominate Hopkins

                I think the sparring issue is more a problem for other other one of the pair he spars with!!! They normally take two rounds each, swapping and still struggle!!!! I think that Enzo Mac has taken on more of the sparring to make up for the loss

                    Yup, I posted a thread several days ago with the original BBC article on this. Bradley was supposed to arrive yesterday, not sure that's even happened. Enzo Mac is there and might do him some good to mess with diff styles.
