markavfc40 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'll stay up. None of this going to bed then getting back up. Few tinnies and I actually enjoy the buid up to these fights plus theres a pretty decent undercard including a couple of Calzaghes left overs in Lacy and Manfredo. I'm looking forward to this fight more than any other in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Mayweather because of the extra 7inch reach! This is the biggest key. But it's publicised well enough for Hatton to have adapted for this. Mayweather wins alot of his fights from people staying well back, but misjudging that reach and catching the full effect. I expect Hatton to get right in close to him from the start, and I think Hatton can take and give more punishment than anyone Mayweather has fought before. Hatton to win, by knockout, within 6 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as he does this and cuts off the ring, i can see him winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby15 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Kind of on the subject, apparently when Bernard Hopkins came face to face with Calzaghe in Vegas he said "He'd never lose to a white person" What a cnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMarlon Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Do SSN really need to apologise for swearing at a weigh in they are showing live between two fighters who are very fired up at quarter to 11 at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Exactly Marlon - Its OK to show to blokes beating the shit out of each other but the fact one uses one swear word at a time when all those who would be offended should be in bed seems to send SSN into a meltdown.

CastleBromVilla Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 See Hopkins and Calzaghe squaring up. According to BBC Sport, Hopkins said "I would never let me a white boy beat me" !!! Get the fight on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 That weigh-in was class. Loved Hopkins and Joe squaring up and the crowd's baiting of Hopkins. Voted Hatton, I think hrhas more of an edge to him and I think he will over-rub PBF. Will be watching live in the pub,will probably need a few red bulls with the Vodka!

Get the fight on! Hopkins always pulls stunts like that, I wouldn't take much notice of it. He's too old now anyway, Calzaghe should have fought him years ago.

As a "white boy" theres a lot of things I could reply to that but I'd be called a racist. I remember Alan Minter saying he "won't lose to a black man" before he fought Hagler (badly chosen words as it turned out) I wonder if such a fuss will be made this time..... Having said that I've followed Hopkins for years and he's not to be taken seriously, I suspect he's trying to make the fight hotter than it already is - he pulled the same shit on Felix Trinidad when he fought him, threw down the Puerto Rican flag in front of thousands of fanatical Trinidad fans. I remember a bunch of them attacked him and he sparked the first one out with a single punch and legged it He also apologised after the fight...but as I say it's just the way he is.
