Calzaghe v Hopkins at Thomas & Mack Centre APRIL 19TH CONFIRMED!!!
http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/News...confirmed.html
The fight will take place at light-heavyweight and will be screened by HBO in America and Setanta Sports in the UK.
"This is a dream come true," said Calzaghe, who has patiently chased a fight with Hopkins for the best part of a decade.
"People always ask me 'When are you going to America?' and now they've got their answer. I won't be taking Hopkins lightly, but I believe I have the tools to beat him."

Hope Hopkins wins and he could with it being in Las Vegas their was some wide scores on the Hatton vs Mayweather night the Ponce De Leon springs to mind saying that the Lacy vs Manfredo was'nt the best either.

I'm looking for a big Joe win,I don't mean to sound disrespectful and it most likely won't happen but I want Joe to whoop B Hop bad for 2 main reasons: 1.) B Hop has a big mouth for a 5 punch per round,5 clinch per round guy 2.) Joe still has guys who doubt his talent, even though he made them look foolish by beating Jeff and Kessler. Beating Hop would be the icing on the cake.
Re: Calzaghe v Hopkins at Thomas & Mack Centre APRIL 19TH CONFIRMED!!!
I think this whad become of the recent months almost inevitable for both fighters to avoid as the money would obviously be there and each guy had practically talked themselves into making it happen.
As always, I'm confident Calzaghe will do the business once he's called upon, but disappointing that this is a non-title bout in terms of Calzaghe, as there'll have to be at least one more fight afterwards so he can retire as the undefeated two-weight world champ.

I have never been a big Calzaghe fan as many of you know, but Hopkins is atrocious in his punch out put and cheats like a B******.. I hope Calzaghe kicks the fuk out of his punk azz and retires that geriatric prick

Misread the question i didn't see the *Ring Magazine Belt part* my bad JT.
Re: Calzaghe v Hopkins at Thomas & Mack Centre APRIL 19TH CONFIRMED!!!
glad to hear its finally confirmed and set in stone, its a good arena there fighting in.
as much as i'm a b-hop fan i don't like what he said it was never needed. i hope he wins but it's goner take a monumental effort for the old warrior to pull it off, joes hand and foot speed toped by his heavy workrate will i feel prove to much for hopkins, however b-hops got great tactical ability, and sound skills with great big fight expirence, its personal, its usa legend v uk legend, both long regineing champs, should be a good fight
but joe maybe to much for old hopkins
