    damn, I'm startin to get a lil nervous.

    I don't think either man could get KO'd, but you just never know. anything can happen, the sport can be very unpredictable at times.

        It's been TKO's for Joe, mainly.

        2007: Manfredo Jr.
        2006: Lacy -- should have been a stoppage.
        2005: Mario Veit (second meeting).

        For Bernard:

        2004, De la Hoya (KO).
        2002: Daniels (TKO).
        2001: Trinidad (TKO).

        His last "proper" KO before DLH was back in 1996, Joe Lipsey.

          I very highly doubt that this will end in a knockout, but it doesn't hurt to say it will to pump the fans and media up.

            Joe getting knocked down on a balance issue is a possibility.

            But if anyone gets hurt it'll be Hopkins. A corner stoppage is a very high probability. Hopkins chin is almost as good as Joe's, but he hasn't been hit as much as he will be Saturday

              neither guy will even score a knockdown in this fight much less a knockout.

                    A ten count or the equivalent (like Pavlik-Taylor I which was technically a TKO but that's as proper as it gets)
