Bernard Hopkins vs. Joe Calzaghe

The fight's about to start on HBO. Is anyone else watching?

Should be interesting to see how Bernard fights after his last bout. Calzaghe is undefeated and is going to fight his first bout on American soil (from Wales).

I have Hopkins winning with a KO in the 10th. Should be a good fight though.

 

Keep us up to date. Got the DVR going, but would love some round-by-round.

 

No problem.

Hopkins hasn't fought in a while and I didn't know he was 43-years-old. Calzaghe looks relaxed and ready to go.

 

I really want fellow Brit Calzaghe to kick Hopkins arse.

 

Pro-Calzaghe crowd in the Thomas Mack Center. Hopkins was booed when he entered the ring.

 

Brits travel well, especially crazy Welshmen.

 

Hopkins knocks Calzaghe down in the first round with a cross. Calzaghe gets the standing eight count. Trickle of blood forming above Calzaghe's nose.

 

Round 2: Calzaghe warned for a low blow. Uneventful round. No big shots. Referee had to break them up a few times.

 

Round 3: Each fighter lands a few solid punches. Hopkins stumbles but regains his composure. Sly Stallone sighting in the crowd. Calzaghe warned for rabbit punching.

 

I have always spoken out against punching rabbits.

 

Round 4: Both boxers trade pretty good punches, Calzaghe gets caught with a left-right combination. Cortez warns fighters for unlawful tactics. Calzaghe gets caught with a rabbit punch again.

Hopkins up so far.

 

Gotta give it to him. The old man can still box.
