Bernard Doesn't REALLY Have To BEAT Calzaghe

[Bhopreign]

All he has to do is make Joe look different then we are accustomed to. That's Bernard's strength, in taking another guy's strength from him. What are Joes? Workrate, that being said Bernard just has to slow him down, and make him miss. Bernard has it in Joe's head that he will work Joe's body and he will, but look for Joe to at least hit the canvas in this one and perhaps stopped. When Winky was missing all those punches, Hop won the fight basically because nobody had seen Winky look that sloppy before, its about composure and judges judge based on that so much.

Normally we wait until after the fight to start making excuses.

If you think that all Joe got is his workrate, or more importantly, if Bernard thinks that way, he is in for a big trouble.

I know what Joe has and its not the granite chin many want to think he has.

Maybe, but that's not what I was talking about.

But Hop is better at every other thing, expect Joe has more speed, so speed and workrate thats it. Hop is better in every other category.

Joes chin is granite he also has superb upperbody movement and footwork.

Bernard only has to make it close the Vegas judges will do the rest.

Joe is a slight upgrade from Winky perhaps. Man you guys just dont study this like I do.

Including footwork? I don't think so.

Joe sees the picture much better then Nard, he can hit you from all the weird angles, he can make you exchange when you don't want it and all of his boxing manner is built on not letting you do your thing.

This is how he got to Lacy.
