Hopkins plan will be to throw 10-15 punches max per round for the first half of the fight.

Then once Calzaghe becomes bored and tired of chasing him Bhop will land a head butt off the ropes and cause a cut over Calzaghe's eye in the 5th-7th round.

At this point Hopkins will then pick up his pace to 20-30 punches thrown a round and even make Calzaghe look bad a few times.

But none of this will matter because Calzaghe will be throwing 2-3 times as many punches as Hopkins does a round with a similar connect ratio.

Calzaghe will win a frustrating UD. He will probably win by at least 3 rounds on every card.

And Hopkins will say he was robbed and laugh all the way to the bank.


This is why I am thankful for sopcast. Paying to watch Hopkins is a waste of money!
