Question

Who Will Win Round 1 Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins

DO YOU GUYS KNOW TELL ME THANKS

Answer 1

Hopkins likes to start slow. So I'd look for him to feel Calzaghe out for the first few rounds. Its safe to say Joe will take the better part of the first half of the fight. Maybe 4 out the first 6 rds. I then believe Hopkins( don't read into his age, I assure you he is a young 43) will turn up the heat and win most of the latter rds.

Should be a close fight, but because I don't see a KO happening and Hopkins is the champ. I call a Hopkins decision.

Answer 2

Joe should win MOST of the rounds in the fight but you are talking about boxing here! If you want to read about this fight head on over to http://www.fightjunkie.com/predictions they have a write-up on the fight and also a forum where you can go and chat about this and many other fight related stuff.

Answer 3

I will be very shocked if Calzaghe don't take the first round, unless as Blog has said B-Hop drops Joe in the first round which would surprise me as Joe has only been on the floor once in my memory and Hopkins is also renown as an extremely slow starter all adds up to the winner of the first round being Joe. I just hope he can go on to control the fight though as Hopkins will definitely come on strong as the fight goes on. Cant wait really looking forward to this one.

Answer 4

joe will do the same to hopkins as he did to lefty lacey (americas best apparently.lol)

but this time against a older guy i fear for hopkins joe coulld really mess him up...

Answer 5

Bernard Hopkins see the free stream at.

Answer 6

i think calzaghe will come out smoking and ko hopkins in the 4th this fight will make calzaghe and will get him respect

Answer 7

Most of the time boxers use the first round  to study the opponents style, weaknesses, power, movements, speed, and reach and mental stamina.

So is possible that Hop-man will take the first round and I say this because with an aging Hopkins, he might try to take Cal on the earlier round.

Answer 8

I think Calzghe will shade it. Will want to make an early impression, and so will come out of the traps fast, try and impose his style and will on Hopkins, throw lots of shots (about 80 a round), of which I would say about 20-25 would land - which is more than B-Hop can hope to throw in the first. He will land maybe 8 shots, including a few solid looking rights, but nothing to worry Calzaghe.Stinging shots, but I can't see any of them hurting Hopkins at that early satge. 10-9 to Calzaghe, and unless the American judges are on the fiddle and have their heads screwed on, they should score it 10-9 to Calzaghe also.

Answer 9

Calzaghe 1st round and all the way of course- Hopkins is 43 years old and he's no George Foreman. Calzaghe is hot at 44-0 and a strong southpaw to give the Executioner lots of problems.

Answer 10

Joe Calzaghe is WELSH and he is an amazing boxer, he will WIN every round and then knock hopkins out!!

Answer 11

I dont think the First round will be anything special meaning both fighters will get a feel for eachother

like throwing jabs

keeping distance and figuring each other out.

The real action if any will proably start after round 5

Answer 12

NOBODY knocks out Bernard Hopkins.  Nobody.  Still, Joe Calzaghe by 12 rd decision.

Answer 13

round 1 they try work each other out can go to anyone, but if my money was on it id pick calzaghe he usually starts fast

Answer 14

let s just see . hope cal

Answer 15

Calzaghe wins every round!!

Answer 16

I say the first round will be an even round with neither man having an advantage.  Too early in the fight probably.

Answer 17

Hopkins first round..but since he is old he won't last real long so Clazaghe is gonan win teh fight ..but not the first round

btw..is there any way to watch it online free?

Answer 18

Joe Calzaghe is seven years younger, and usually throws over a 100 punches per round.  I think it's a safe bet that if Bernard doesn't drop Joe in the first round, Calzaghe will win it one activity alone, effective aggression or not when your opponent throws 30 or 40 more punches than you do, it's tough to win the round.

Answer 19

I think Hopkins is going to come aggressive in the first round to set his pace and to mentally gain respect of his adversary and frustrate any intent of trying to win the judges with little short combinations.

I say Hopkins wins the first round.

Answer 20

Calzaghe will win. but i hope it lasts 15 rounds :D

watching it at 1am live :)
