Pre fight horse shit

[amat]

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.

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.

Well that might be true, but Calzaghe has come into his best in the last 4 years. He was a lot more careless and less skilled before that.

In turn Hopkins has matured into a great fighter, far from his young gunslinging days.

So this time may be the best to see the two against each other as a spectacle.

Taking into account Hopkins' hard head, Calzaghe's hands, Calzaghe's speed and Hopkins' age, there's a myriad of possible storylines that we could see.
(Another storyline is of course a lullaby of a fight.)

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.

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.

Nice one. I'll be paying so i can record it (shhhh don't tell fox). My brother was taken to hospital yesterday and may not get to see it so i will be able to get a copy to him if he's too unwell. He's back home this morning though so should be fine.
