    My take on Zag's vs B-Hop..

    Might as well.

    I think the old junkyard dog is going to pull this one out.
    I see Hopkins hitting Joe with a big counter, or a lead right in the early rounds.
    Maybe slowing down Joe's punching output.
    The **** gets ugly, and B-Hop knows all the tatics.
    Calzaghe has some good flurries late, but get's hit with a bomb or two in the 10th and 11th rounds.

    I have been wrong before. What do you think?

      Calz outworks Hopkins on route to decision.

      Hopkins is in the ascendency early on in the fight timing that right hand. Joe will come back into it and instead of boxing with Hopkins he will close the gap and simply outwork Hops who will have success with right hands but the sheer volume of activity and the fact Joe is the aggressor should win him the rounds.

            Good stuff. That's all I wanted from this. You get a brew.

                I completely agree with this.

                  I have tried to get motivated for it but I just cant
                  Maybe it's because I am not a fan of either of them and I know Cal has his years on him and Bernard is getting to be pre-historic.
                  I don't see this fight being as exciting as it is supposed to be..
                  5 or so years ago I would have been all for it.
                  I'll prob. watch only to @ Hopkins when he loses.

                    If B-Hops didn't have a big mouth nobody would be interested.

                    No if and no buts, he is the most boring fighter out of all the elites. Whilst Calzaghe struggles against guys who simply don't fight.

                    There is no way in hell this would be interesting to anyone who wasn't a fan of either boxer.
