Bunce: "The One Thing Enzo And Joe Are Underestimating Is Hopkins' Power"

[thegreatone1]

Bunce is selling it, on the BBC he said if Joe turns up he wins now hes selling to the Setanta crowd hes pulling this.

Hopkins does not hit as hard as Lacy or Kessler and Joe will not underestimate what Hopkins can do.

[.Mik.]

He said he would like to do the fight when they both had a HW title, which is ****** for two reasons.

1) Haye would knock him out cold

2) He aint gonna win a world HW title

Now now. He said that its not even worth considering until he has a HW title. He's hardly going to say "Nah, this'll never happen because my career has been **** and even now is on as much of a 'decline' as you can consider a career that has never hit any heights, whereas Haye seems like he might do quite well, so he'd never face anyone as lowly as me".

personally i think b hop and freddy roach have underestimated 'slapzaghes' power. He's faught heavier fighters more consistantly than bhop.
Plus this has gotta be hopkins last fight, he can't fight forever.

GO JOE!!!!!!

Let them keep thinking Joe slaps. It's a good thing. Should Hopkins get knocked out (unlikely but not impossible) they'll all look ******.

Yea, but audley believes it, cos he is real delusional.

Remember when he said he had the skills to transcend boxing?



Ps. I did ask you in another thread but you might have missed it, whats your prediction for tonight?

[TIGEREDGE]

I like Steve bunce he speaks the truth which some brit doesnt want to here, I really hope Enzo and Joe doesnt Underestimate B-Hops power like Billy graham/Hatton and the whole Hatton fanatics did Mayweather.

We need more boxing expert/journo like Bunce who arent there just because of been patriotic.

i like him. he does speak the truth but he also talks a lot of ****. he said the other day that when oscar foughts bhop, oscar was considered the toughest man ever

[Pullcounter]

hopkins isn't going to land enough power shots to win the fight though

Depends on a couple of things.

My most likely prediction would be a fairly comfortable Calzaghe UD.

I do think that there is a possibility of a late Calzaghe TKO.

However, I think that there is a risk of a boring fight, marred by Hopkins running around and using a lot of hugging and headbutts and taking a robbery decision on hometown decision.

[Mr. Ryan]

If they don't think Hopkins can punch, then they will be sorely mistaken. Hopkins can punch very well. He doesn't go for knockouts because that expends a lot of energy, but if need be he can take a guy out.

I was speaking to one of his sparring partners and he said he was shocked at how hard he hit with 18 oz gloves.

[Scoooter]

Does anyone think Hopkins hits harder than Kessler?
