Now I look forward to his match with Hopkins since it will be the 1st time I sit down and enjoy a fight of his from a fan standpoint instead of watching to hope he loses.. But I hope he dosent lose and dissapoint me, I assure everyone though I wont jump ship if he loses to Hopkins.

Anyone else feel the same?
Yeah I feel the same but it was the Lacy fight that made me a believer.

Everyone knows Joe cant resist showing off and playing to the crowd but I wonder if he'll get chance to do it with B - Hop. He did it vs Lacy cuz the atmos got to him . I think in the States, with massive support in his biggest he will have to try and show boat at some point . It will be wierd to see someone playing with a guy as good as Hopkins .
If either of them play to the crowd and show-off, I would think that would be territory for Hopkins to play in.

Joe's real good, but I just see Hopkins frustrating Joe to the point of getting careless, and ko'ing Calzaghe. Should be a barnburner though.
I just think Hopkins is going to shine on this night; though I am hoping for a Calzaghe win. Going to be an ugly, inside fight.

Should be interesting to see who the crowd wil root the most for; and if it will affect Joe's mental state, especially if he gets in deep.

For me; Hopkins by late ko.
