Team Haye: "Hopkins Is Going To Mug Calzaghe, Big Time!"

[ИATAS]

lol, I all of a sudden have a new found respect for Haye. Hope you get that heavyweight belt, champ!

[Addison]

no im not

im just saying its possible and if he is he is not in the wrong for it

I disagree, honestly. It's lame to pick an outcome based on race or national origin. True sportsmen don't get down like that.

It's more than possible though, I agree there.

[.Mik.]

Are you for real?

So only those superior to Calzaghe are allowed to try and dissect Calzaghe because anyone else who is inferior to Cazaghe is silly for trying?

that is absurd.

You've got to understand Adam Booth to know where that comment is coming from and how he is making it. Its an arrogant statement with little behind it which serves to do nothing but show up Booth's ignorance and limitations as a trainer. Suggesting that beating Calzaghe is as simple as knowing a punch combination/habit that many of Enzo Calzaghe fighters use is nothing but naive. Saying that its an exemplification of why Calzaghe will be defeated by Hopkins merely shows that Booth doesnt know enough about Calzaghe to know what he's talking about.

Particularly when Haye has glaring faults in his game which he'll swear blind he's aware of, but that he uses to lure in his opponents because he's fast enough to do so. Well Calzaghe is faster and much more technically proficient than Haye ever will be.

thats pretty perceptive

Haha, I love how David Haye isn't even supporting Joe. Then again, why would he? It's Countdown to...

EXECUTION TIME

And I love how you obviously haven't read or taken in who that quote is attributed to.

Team Haye is ******ed, no offense but Calzaghe has many different styles. He fights different in each fight, He didn't fight Kessler the same as he fought lacy. Calzaghe has no one style, he has fast hands of course but his style is never the same and isn't predictable.

What this guy says is not wrong, but Joe doesn't just execute a basic plan. Kessler saw some of the same things and each little tactical observation led to about two clean punches before Joe adjusted (the most obvious being that when Joe throws his left you can hit him with an uppercut if you take a hal step back, but there were a few others).


Also any punches 'Nard lands on Joe only work in Joe's favor. If "nard were to land nothing flush he'd shell up and make it ugly. Any clean punches landed however will open up the exchanges. Joe has better rythm in flurries and combos and is faster. The more punches thrown (and landed) the better for him.


The best thing that can happen to Joe is that Hopkins lands a lot of clean counters. That won't make him hesitate. If he's proven anything it's that. That will only move the fight in a direction he'll excell in

Interesting post Addy, I'm going to study the Calzaghe fights I have when I get home from work.

Maybe Team Haye should concentrate more on Haye's glaring defensive liabilities, that are about to become that much more amplified at HW.
