Good observation Jim i have said this countless times that Calzaghe will have a rough night with Hopkins. Because Hopkins can off set Calzaghe's rhythm with clinches and foul play, plus slow him down. I hope Calzaghe doesn't just come straight forward like he has done in the past in other rough tough fights, trying to beat Hopkins with a barrage of punches and just trying to outwork him because Hopkins is much too clever for that, i think Calzaghe should use his jab more in this fight. Taylor gave Hopkins hell with his jab, and Calzaghe has a solid jab which showed against Kessler if Calzaghe fights smart by using his jab and his excellent array of punches to the body and head and doesn't get too involved on the inside allowing Hopkins to clinch and use his dirty tactics to off set him. Then Calzaghe should win a tough but clear cut decision.
