"To truly dissect Maccarinelli I had to understand Enzo Calzaghe's training philosophy, that involved studying tapes of all his fighters, including Joe.
One thing became glaringly obvious - all their camp try to touch with the first jab, lean back, then fire their combinations. However, this often leaves them terribly off balance. Hopkins has got terrific footwork, drifts to the left and counters, drifts to the right and counters, can even shoot whilst stepping backwards. He's going to rough Joe up and mug him, big time!"
