Calzaghe's hands

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

there the hands that will be punching/slapping Hopkins around the ring

I love it... Yeah... I don't remember hopkins ever being "slaped around"... In fact, I've seen Joe having all kinds of trouble wih guys like Sakio Bika, who did some slapping around of his own... Hmmmm. I don't know... Maybe I'm wrong.












Yeah, I'm not

I will give you one whole rep point for that

1 POINT!!!!!!.....I think your going to have to change your name from Pride of Boston to Generosity of Boston...

It was meant to be a slap in the face like joe's punching...

Trust me bif, the hands won't be an issue...

Since he broke his hand the last time he puts very little steam on them. It doesn't matter whether there's steam on them or not though... You get slapped enough you swell

We saw what 12 rounds of steady slapping could do to our left hook throwing friend

A large factor in Joes lack of hand problems as of late is his use of Grant Gloves.
Traditionally Joe always wore Everlast gloves, but they resulted in one of his worst breaks so he switched to Grant.

The switch very nearly got him in trouble as he put a Londsdale sticker over the Grant symbol of the gloves

I know...was being sarcastic...I rather have a full dose of negative rep then one positive one...the slap hurt worse then all of the ones Joe gave Lacy

Calzaghe's hands were bothering him in the Sakio Bika fight. They are gonna hurt even worse fighting Hopkins. It is likely that Hopkins is figuring out the best way to break Calzaghe's hands. Maybe with his elbows, perhaps when Clazaghe throws one of his wild uppercuts. He has probably been practicing lowering his head at the precise moment so that when the pulpous handed fighter throws a punch it lands on the hard part of the noggin. Whatever Hops game plan is, I think it's safe to say that trying to breaking calzaghe's hands will at least be a part of it.

I find that very difficult to imagine. Its seldom that trying to break an opponents hands has been a means of trying to get the win. Maybe trying to force a cut through head butts I can imagine...but to conciously think that a viable means of winning is to break a hand. Nah, can't see it. Not that I dont think Calzaghe may have hand issues in the fight. Its happened before. Calzaghe doesnt unload with power like he used to though. When required he can up the power as we saw in that bruising body shot that got Kessler but in general Joe looks to win rounds with his high output rather than put the hurt on his opponents. Im hoping the hands play no part in this though, because Calzaghe deserves this opportunity and it would be nice to see him play out the end of his career as I always thought he could.

You've seen to many movies...This is not the bare nuckle era

"I know Joe has bad hands, and we're going to take advantage of that," the trainer continued. "When a big punch comes, Bernard will dip his head and get hit on the forehead and Joe's going to hurt his hands. My guy knows how to do that. Bernard is a textbook fighter. His chin's down, his hands are up, his feet are always in the right position, and he's never off balance," Roach also stated.

To many movies huh. Hmm.

And to add to that, I guess Freddie Roach has seen to many movies too.
