Pre fight horse shit

[:::PSL:::]

Patience. You're right, this fight is predictable. I'm also getting tired with the trash talks and hypes between these two fighters. But the fight is almost there and the best thing about it is.. it's FREE!

[Greig]

I don't mind trash talk if it is backed up.

With Hopkins I'm always drawn to the second Jermain Taylor fight. In the lead up he kept going on about how he wasn't going to leave it in the hands of the judges blah blah blah. The result? A fight even more boring than their first (and that is saying something).

"Are you willing to die?"

Uh, how exactly Bernard? I've got more chance of contracting terminal cancer in the ring than you killing me...

It's hard to be the executioner on 10 punches a round.

LMAO! Great stuff. He had me believing he was going to chop off Taylor's head. lol

I just want the fight to get underway now. Im bored with Hopkins meandering monologues about overcoming the odds.

This isnt going to be a toe to toe classic because Hopkins will try to spoil. It could be very interesting watching just how Calzaghe dismantles Hopkins though.

Take out all the pre fight horse shit and come back sunday morning, 100 topics about Hopkins being a no good, old, cheating bastard. Hopkins MD.

What do you mean it's not PPV?

I think it might be a bit of a chess match in the first half of the fight and Calzaghe outworking BH in the last third or so.


It does not have to be a toe to toe slugfeast to be a good fight though.

That just about sums it up for me Porkypara

If Guys like Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali abandoned their tactics and gameplans in every fight, they would not be viewed as great.

They employed tactics that allowed them to overcome the fighters in front of them.
Hopkins, with these fighters in mind, will attempt to employ any tactics necessary to beat Calzaghe.

This may result in a great fight, but not in the commonly perceived context.
A great fight for me is where one fighter overcomes another equal or greater foe, using intelligence, guile and strategy along with his physical abilities.

This fight excites me for that reason.

Exactly, it sucks. I think Greig is in WA. Might even be cheaper to fly over there to watch it with him on his non PPV, maybe. No guess not.

[Greig]

I'm pretty sure this fight is on Setanta and my brother in law has it, so I was going to go round there to watch it.

I either do that or go to the pub. Last one I bought was, funnily enough, DLH-Hopkins.
