Joe 173!!!! Hopkins 173!!!! (With VIDEO)

[Tito BHB]

Everybody talks about the mind games from bernard, And its usually pretty evident when he gets under a guys skin.. Couple guys said ( I think it was setanta commentators (PFTT) )That you know floyd got under ricky's skin and you could see at the weigh in that ricky startec buying into the hype and it affected him come fight night etc..
They also said pretty confidently that they doubt this would happen to Joe and that he'l be business as usual.. But frankly i think they was wrongg

See joe at the weigh in.. He was head to head he was pushing in a bit smiling.. bobbing side to side, wouldnt stay still , talking...

And Bhop.. Just stood there, Looked joe in the eyes.. And looked mean.. Not a flinch, steady on his legs..

I could see that Bhop had the mental advantage there.. As per usual..

Thats my opinion anyway

I dont agree. Calzaghe was exactly as he was against Kessler. He looked on edge, he looked menacing and was itching for a fight. He's probably just sick of the waiting. He is after all a fighter. Hopkins has no edge.

[JT Rock]

Yea I DISagree Joe is pretty animated and confident and is the master of harnassing his energy in a positive manner right now he is just like a caged Lion looking to get at Hopkins thats all

Not to mention according to all the publications the only fans that are gonna be there are Calzage fans fron Wales so it will be like fighting at home for him anyway

There is no way that Hopkins got into CAlzaghe's head.Calzaghe has been around the block more than a few times. It looked to me that Hopkins was the one who didn't know what to do.

I dont think there was ever anyone like hopkins on Joe's block..

But we'll see come fight night

What are you talking about?

Hopkins is just a tricky fighter and an old one to boot.

And for certain Hop ain't ever come across anything like Joe Calzaghe either, but if you had to pick anything similar like mobile fast handed fighters....say like RJJ or Taylor, errr they beat him..
