    bet on virchis-gomez.

    vlad is getting 1.5-1 and some places 2-1 odds.

    vlad is gonna ko juan carlos.
    I dunno.

    3-1 odds is pretty big. Obviously they don't give Vitali much of a chance, a lot of people think that his body will break down again and he will be injured like against Byrd, especially as he is old enough to be Bernard Hopkins' dad.

        that's wrong.

        t-97 don't take that bet.

        he's trying to hustle.
        Damn, that is kinda wrong.

        The odds are 3/1, but he will only do a straight up bet? Even Don King would give at least 2/1.

        Boxing has always had some bad people associated with it, but I didn't know it had gone this far.

          I didn't see this being a close fight.

          The rounds were close and difficult to score but overall it was easy to count 9-3 in Calzaghe's favor, I think scoring the fight for Hopkins is unacceptable in my opinion.

            In the immediate post-fight interview with HBO, Calzaghe was asked if Hopkins was his hardest fight, His answer was:

            "One of my hardest fights".

            So Flawless, quite why you have this obsession over proving that Hopkins was Calzaghe's hardest fights is beyond me. I can only imagine you have some sort of fetishistic devotion to Hopkins or a pathological hatred of non-Americans so great that you cannot conceive of a world in which they aren't "the best" at everything. Whatever.

            Unfortunately you cannot prove what you say because I have a quote contradicting yours. We're 1 and 1. I know its hard to take. I suggest you go kill yourself.

              Yeah, you both have an interview.

              But a new Flawless poll in NSB will soon look to determine whether or not the interview he quoted was the hardest one he ever faced...

                british sportscasters are yuro bums.

                wait 'til joe gets interviewed by fat ass dan rafael or god forbid ryan ********.

                hopkins did interviews with howard cossell and larry merchant.

                joe didn't have the balls to go to america and get interviewed by max kellerman 'til he was 35 yrs. old!

                  36. You Calzaghe haters don't know what you're talking about. I bet you haven't even seen his legendary war with Tyrone Jackson.

                    I think Kessler and Reid gave him a better fights than Eubank and Hopkins.
