Calzaghe Fans Get Ready For Loss Number 1

[cpcompany]

This is no easy fight for Joe going into the lions den and fighting the co promoter of the show in his own back yard is a big RISK...

let just hope if he does win and it aint a given that Joe gets the props he so rightly deserves from all and non of this Hopkins aged overnight etc

may the best man win with no controversy

COME ON JOEEEEEEEEE

This is something not many people understand. America is a place built on diversity and differences, when you come here people will not be singing in unison or in rhythm. Just as many Americans that are voting for Hopkins will be matched with people who are voting for Joe (Americans), unlike if the place of the fight was in total opposite (Britian) when 99% of the arena if voting for Joe. Hop has just as many haters here as he has fans (attitude), and althought he has the title of CO PROMOTER he has no advantage here.

its all down to who turns up mate and who is fighing who... Co promoter is an issue for sure IMO

as for Britian rooting for Joe that would prob be down to the fact that not many Amricans would turn up to root for there fighter but i doubt Hopkins would get a bad reception... Kessler didnt and i dont think Lacy did... hell i remember Johhny Tapia coming to the UK to fight the tail end of his Career and never have i seen such a welcome on his entry fo any UK fighter

there are some good fans over in the UK mate that respect all boxers dont get them mixed up with the football thugs that have jumped on the Hatton Bandwagon

But hasnt boxing has always had a bit of a following with football lads/casuals in the UK?

I remember a huge brawl at the NEC arena between Man Us crew and Birmingham Zulus a while back. Who the boxing match was between escapes me though.
