[PrideOfWales]

Pretty much a done deal.

Grapevine

[eltorrente]

Really? source?

Wow I'm really looking forward to this. Everyone has such different views on what is going to happen, that it'll be very interesting. I think it'll be an ugly, hard to score fight and Hopkins SD.

Grapevine

Which Grapevine from JC or his father.

[Boxer-puncher]

I hope Hopkins loses.

[jc]

There was a ite confirming the stadium was booked. but nothing really on the fight!

[KayEpps]

I've been seeing this all day - but there's no proof that the fighters even signed contracts.

GBP President Richard S. said that the fight was close to being done and it should land in Vegas. That was the last I heard of this fight.

Joe Calzaghe UD

[PrideOfWales]

Don't hold me to this but I think it's going to announced officially tomorrow.

[Boxer-puncher]

Hopefuly Calzaghe UD.. Can't stand the Hopkins of today. He's boring and he doesn't deserve our money.

[dan-b]

How many reposts are we going to get of this?

[john b]

JC by SD

[walk with me]

Yeah on here at least, but the JC I watched kicking Kessler's ass all over my TV screen on HBO stands a hell of a chance of whipping old man Hopkins.

[ocelot]

I can't see Calzaghe winning on points in the US. Even if he wins, he won't win. Hopkins by UD.

[jc]

Calzaghe UD. Late TKO could be on the cards.

HE does i Like is chances a lot more than hattons unfortunately.

You're right. I preferred it when it was the select few against the world.

[KayEpps]

Never underestimate the powers of B-Hop.

B-Hop beats JC by UD - but in a competitive fight.

There's no way I see JC not coming to fight - but there's no way I see him beating B-Hop.

[coronacards]

This is bullshit...

April 13th is a Sunday. When was the last time a major fight occurred on a Sunday?

Also, GBP already spoke about having the fight in Vegas. Hopkins wanted the fight in Yankee Stadium, but I've seen nothing close to proof of it yet.

Im going to hold you to it!:twisted: :lol:

It'll be Sunday GMT as the East Side is 5 hours behind UK time. It will be on the Saturday night (the 12th), my apologies.

exactly... theres a billion idiots on here screaming calzaghe is the greatest in his division of all time i find that hard to believe... no... impossible for alot of reasons

if he was that good i would have known about him a long time ago ( dont say my lack of boxing following.. but if he was that good hed be way more hyped)

boxings been around something like 200 years right? no way this guys #1

and he probably does have a better chance of beating bhop then bhop has chances of beating him

but hey its bhop... hes definitely pulled some big upsets.. and so far age has not caught up with him yet

[walk with me]

i prey this is true

[peter5]

Bhop actually signed? :lol: Unlucky for him then:deal JC UD:hey

[Keihule]

I think Calzaghe has a great chance of beating hopkins, I watched calzaghe-kessler yesterday and he is a competitor. Hopkins is a bit too old.

I am looking forward to this fight.

[BewareofDawg]

Look for Calzaghe to drop a decision to Hops. Never come to the US again. Blame corrupt judging.

[guncho]

I think Hopkins will make it a very close fight but I think Calzaghe will win!

[Icemmann]

I think it would be too cold to have the fight in Yankee stadium in April. Madison Square Garden would be a bit more believable for that date.

[walk with me]

if this happens.. a Yankee stadium fight...

i PROMISE!!!

there will be a hbo 24-7

there will have to be to get all those fans over

I wouldnt be surprised normally, but this is a different animal, JC by UD, no FBI investigation after this one :lol: :good

Yeah, I think Calzaghe will win as well. But it would be real ironic if Calzaghe finally comes to the US for a big name fight and loses to a 43yr old Hopkins :deal

There's no way I see JC not coming to fight - but there's no way I see him beating B-Hop.

your underestimating the power of father time. And I say Calzaghe also gets the boost of now being able to eat the last few days heading up to the fight. That boring crap Hopkins pulled against a fatty Winky ain't gonna fly. Looks like Hopkins cash out fight to me.

[peter5]

Yeah, I think Calzaghe will win as well. But it would be real ironic if Calzaghe finally comes to the US for a big name fight and loses to a 43yr old Hopkins :deal

Ironic wouldnt be the word id use!!!:yep I know, and that shit happens more often than not, you wait all your life for that moment, and BANG, moment gone:lol: But JC is a fucking genius, so good in the ring, as the pensioner is too, but JC will wear him down, UD for JC, and Ill be there no matter what :happy

[MacManJr.]

Am I the only one that thinks it'll be too damn cold for a fight at Yankee Stadium in April?

[Shaolin Box]

Am I the only one that thinks it'll be too damn cold for a fight at Yankee Stadium in April?

ha, thats true. it may be in the 50's

[Icemmann]

Am I the only one that thinks it'll be too damn cold for a fight at Yankee Stadium in April?Look at the top of the page.



Edit: I noticed it was mentioned in the other thread too.

No, from Long Island though, Suffolk County. I actually lived in Philly for the last 2.5 years and just moved back. I'm kind of indifferent about who wins. I do want to see a "white boy" beat Hops though :deal

[fidds]

when joe beats bhop he is going to look stupid with his coments hey, when he gets whipped by a white boy.

Joe is just that bit younger and that bit faster :good plus could you honestly see joe losing 2 decisions to jermaine taylor :lol:

Damn right about that ^:good Well, Im not Welsh (English) but Ive been watching joe for years, so if its in NY or Vegas Ill be there, and JC better fucking deliver:twisted: :lol:

You been to MSG then? If so, and if its held there, Ill need to get some info on the best seats!:good

[KnockOutNetwork]

Anyone from the Northeast knows that as soon as they started talking about Calzaghe-Hopkins for an April bout, any outside venue up here was out.

April in NY? It could be snowing.

There is no way they risk the embarrassment of doing this fight outdoors in the Northeast in April.

Its going to end up in Vegas.
