    WAR or BORE: HOPKINS vs CALZAGHE

    Will it be a great fight, or a boring fight. I think this is another one that could be absolutely anywhere on the scale

      War. Believe it. Calzaghe will not let Hopkins force people to sleep.

        yep yep, it's what he does.

        He stops a fight from taking place. We'll get served up a scrappy **** fest that is hard to score.

          In any case it will be technically interesting.

          Will there be extended flurries, two-way exchanges, and dramatic shifts in momentum? Nahh, not so much

              its a notch above average in terms of "war" or "bore".

              i think its going to get pretty tactical for majority of the fight and i think in spots you will see calzaghe lure hopkins into an exchange or two.

              just the magnitiude of this fight (2 top 10 p4p fighters...AND NOT ON PPV) will make it exciting anyway.

              I'm still surprised this wasnt a ppv fight...thats great for me.

                Really hope I'm wrong, but Hopkins' fights usually bore the hell out of me. The only way I can see this being exciting is if Hopkins is losing badly and forced to fight from behind.

                  If Joe solves the puzzle early it will be a one sided beating by Joe.
                  Depends whether he gives Hopkins any opportunity to dictate the pace.

                    It might be somewhere in between war & bore...medium rare maybe? I don't think it's going to be a total stinker, I actually think it's going to exceed expectations!
