Weigh in Talk....
Hopkins 173
Joe 173
The weigh in is 22.30 UK time you can catch it on the HBO web site. ;D
Is it not on the news or setanta?????
I hope Hopkins tries to maintain some decorum at the weigh in. I have worries that he might try some of his funny business before this fight gets near the ring. :-\
I hope im wrong...
He got a hefty fine after what happened at the weigh-in against Winky. So I'm guessing Hopkins won't start any pushing and shoving this time, because he won't want to get fined again.Quote:

Joe Calzaghe 173 lbs.....
Bernard Hopkins 173...
:D
Both guys come in dead even at 173....
Joe rehidrating quickly starts drinking from a bottle...
buffer is back also btw
Sylvester Stallone, Shannon Briggs, Schaffer some Cunt I mean Frank Warren, RJJ, MAB.
All on hand for the weigh in.
Joe looked really relaxed......b-hop looked really angry. I can't wait !!! Man who didn't hopkins bring with him for the fight, he'd probably find a way to use clubber lang in his corner if he could.
I thought Hopkins was gonna push Joe... But that cunt FW seperated them...
Apparently, Clubber Lang "pitty da foo'" who goes up against his bro. And both of them weighing in at 173 hopefully means that neither of them is weight drained....or at least they shouldn't be.Quote:

Really looks like Joe is looking forward to this one ;)
Man I'm so hyped for tomorrow; I hope Joe smacks Hopkins silly{though I still think Hop will win:(}
I don't get the bad feeling for Frank. I think he does as good a job as he possibly can under the conditions he operates in.Quote:

OMG!
What did they do to his voice? ;D
I know, it has nothing to do with his surgery. Video was funny because it distorted Michael's voice ;D

Everybody talks about the mind games from bernard, And its usually pretty evident when he gets under a guys skin.. Couple guys said ( I think it was setanta commentators (PFTT) )That you know floyd got under ricky's skin and you could see at the weigh in that ricky startec buying into the hype and it affected him come fight night etc..
They also said pretty confidently that they doubt this would happen to Joe and that he'l be business as usual.. But frankly i think they was wrongg
See joe at the weigh in.. He was head to head he was pushing in a bit smiling.. bobbing side to side, wouldnt stay still , talking...
And Bhop.. Just stood there, Looked joe in the eyes.. And looked mean.. Not a flinch, steady on his legs..
I could see that Bhop had the mental advantage there.. As per usual..
Thats my opinion anyway
I dont agree. Calzaghe was exactly as he was against Kessler. He looked on edge, he looked menacing and was itching for a fight. He's probably just sick of the waiting. He is after all a fighter. Hopkins has no edge.
Yea I DISagree Joe is pretty animated and confident and is the master of harnassing his energy in a positive manner right now he is just like a caged Lion looking to get at Hopkins thats all
Not to mention according to all the publications the only fans that are gonna be there are Calzage fans fron Wales ;D so it will be like fighting at home for him anyway
There is no way that Hopkins got into CAlzaghe's head.Calzaghe has been around the block more than a few times. It looked to me that Hopkins was the one who didn't know what to do.
I dont think there was ever anyone like hopkins on Joe's block..
But we'll see come fight night
What are you talking about? :rolleyes:Quote:

And for certain Hop ain't ever come across anything like Joe Calzaghe either, but if you had to pick anything similar like mobile fast handed fighters....say like RJJ or Taylor, errr they beat him..Quote:
