Not long now til this one kicks off..

Really hope Super Joe kicks his ass.

This one has got me worried.
Hopkins is a waster, he'll happily hold and wrestle for 12 rounds as long as he gets the result. He has a habit of making good boxers look bad.
I'm with Calzaghe 100% and would love to see him getting a stoppage but I wont be putting any money on that.

[discoduster]

Yeh true, but Joe has a nice record of upsetting the critics/doubters/bookies etc..

He'll do it.

Joe should be far too busy for Hopkins though as was mentioned Hopkins is a spoiler. Watch Hopkins use every trick in and out of the book to try and rattle Calzaghe.

Hopefully Calzaghe faces Pavlik after he wins this one.

Dont forget Woods V Tarver too, a huge fight for Woods though also a tough one. Tarver has been awful recently though its now make or break for him, I take Woods on points. ;D

[Keeping It Council]

When is this fight? Also and body watching Mayweather fighting the wrestler tonight! ;D

A

[bristolboy]

The fight is April 19th, Clinton woods is on the 12th.

Nah passed on the Mayweather wrestling thingy. Wrestling makes me smile though, especially the crowd. ;D

[discoduster]

COME ON JOE!!

[manchestermike]

Well done to Joe ;D

Well, I'd like to say I enjoyed that fight, but I didn't... it was a horrible fight with Hopkins looking to spoil as much as he could. I have Calzaghe winning it by one maybe 2 rounds in the end so glad to see he got the decision. When it's that close in America you expect the judges to give it the American, but the result was right... although one of them had Calzaghe by a wider margin than seemed possible... two more big fights I think for Joe then bow out at the top ;D

[hlarmy]

I concur! Poor fight, fantastic result. I was disappointed with Hopkins - he offered very little and deserved didderly squat!

I couldn't call it, if anything I thought Hopkins was going to sneak it given that all judges were American - not quite sure how that one had Joe 5 points clear. There's always going to boxers out there to fight (especially now) so I only hope Joe gets out unbeaten to cement his legacy...

[bristolboy]

Crap fight, thought Joe was fortunate with the decision as Hopkins although landing less threw the more significant shots, though as I predicted Joe's workrate won it for him.

Joe should fight Kelly Pavlik next then call it a day, all this talk of fighting Roy Jones is a joke, Hopkins was on the slide, Jones is already finished. Dont do it Joe!!!

[discoduster]

It wasn't the prettiest of fights but the fact Joe came back from a first round knock down to win the fight is stuff real champions are made of!
