| Quote: Andy Gilder "To be fair, I'm not sure how many (if any) were ranked in the top 10 heavyweights in Britain prior to the event. They were mainly undercard fighters who like a tear-up but lack a great deal in skills, ideal fodder for that kind of event.'"
Before the event, Barry Hearn was hinting that the premise ran along the lines of The Contender meets UFC. It could only work as a money spinner in Britain, purely because we love an underdog. |

So whats the script going to be for the big fight on Saturday? Alot of people I talk to think that Joe doesn't have the hands to knock out Hopkins, and that he's going to need to be about 5 rounds up on the card to win on points.

If it goes the distance he is going to need to win seven rounds at least . 
If Calzaghe is smart about it he will pick Hopkins off no problems, if Hopkins makes Calzaghe brawl for it then there could be some trouble for Calzaghe.
I can’t see this fight being interesting, let alone a classic. |

If he boxes rather than fights then I can see Joe winning on points, just hope it does not become a dull affair.

I'm afraid to say it all depends on how Joe Cortez refs it.

Let's hope we don't have any dodgy judges either.... |

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

What time do we think the fight will start on Saturday? I've heard a few things and I'm tempted go to sleep and wake up for the fight.

Think Joe is technically the better boxer but it will take some punch off him to knock out Hopkins, and he deserves alot of credit to be fair, the guy is what 43? that must take some effort to box top class fighters at that age but I am still definetly rooting for Calzaghe. Go on Joe!

Anderson-son-son
He's better than Kleberson
Anderson-son-son-son
He's our midfield magician
On the left, on the right
Do the Samba beat tonight
He is class, he sh*gs brass
And he sh*ts on Fabregas:2005.jpg |

I imagine it will be around 4am Sunday morning unfortunatly.
Has anyone seen the undercard for this fight yet? It is quite possibly one of the worst, ever. |

| Just seen the weigh in and thought Joe handled it very well. Hopkins tried to poke fun at him, but Calzaghe just laughed at him, took the applause from the crowd and walked off. Hopkins didn't look too happy.  |

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.

Great performance from Ryan Rhodes tonight,just a matter of time before he cleaned out Woolcome.Fantastic body shots softened him up but what a punch to finish it,just hope Woolcome is okay now though.
