LOS ANGELES (April 10, 2008) . . . . Ring Magazine light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins opened the doors of his training camp in Pasadena, California today and showed the media a sample of his rigorous training schedule. Hopkins, who did a full workout, was in a terrific mood and had this to say to the members of the press assembled ringside. <!-- m -->http://fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=21445
The closer this fight gets, the more I think Bernard is going to be an absolute handful for Joe. There's a lot of pressure on Calzaghe to perform in the US for the first time and not fall flat like Ricky Hatton and so many others before him. Meanwhile, the old pro Hopkins is relaxed, focused, and training like a Spartan. I can't wait for next Saturday.
I saw the pic in the artivle. Its amazing that HOpkins is 42, look at the shape the guy is in. He also made a great choice bringing in Mackie Shilstone again.
