Newsflash for hopkins....calzaghe may be fighting in new york against him but hes quite naieve if he thinks that the crowd would be anything but pro calzaghe. Im not sure of the capacity of the stadium/arena it will take place in but id imagine that at least 3 quarters of the fans would be rooting for joe. Firstly youd have his incredibly vocal welsh fans who'd love to travel across the "red sea" () to see him become a legend and then you have the italian new yorkers whol be sure to fill up the majority of the rest of the seats. Joe may be out of wales but hopkins should be made aware that the arena will be exactly like the millenium stadium has been for the past 5-6 years.

On a side note, anyone who doesnt think that many will travel to watch joe in new york...reports on sky sports today showed today that 72 thousand ticket applications were made by hatton fans to go to las vegas! Now thats just insane...britain surely has the best fans in the world.
