I remember watching it and thinking that Calz took it. Then I realized I didn't care because it was boring at best and worst infuriating.
Still shocks me how many people think Joe won - boxing is about landing clean punches to the head or body that strike with the fist area. NOT thowing slappy flurries that are blocked or dont land. Yeah Bernard was blowing out his arsehole, yes he was tired and faked his injury to get a breather but so what? He scored more clean punches, out Joe down and didnt get hit as much. Simple PS - Im a brit - from manchester
:happy finally someone who knows how to score a fight and judge who wins the rounds. some people dont know what clean effective punching is, i guess. mad respect hearing this come from a brit. :good
****, I'm not British, and I hate Calzaghe... but I never believed Hopkins won that fight. Shitballs, I lost a bet on that fight too.
i have a task for each of you before i go to sleep. re-watch this fight and come back to this thread with an honest answer. peace.
:rofl That last line is funny as **** trying to play off that you are unbiased, then look over at your avatar and there's Malcolm ****ing X. Yea, you didn't have a horse in that race, eh? I had BHop by two rounds.
FightJudge Majority Scorecard gives it to the slap-master http://www.fightjudge.com/reviewScorecards/343/
How about this? Realize that we all have different opinions and that the majority of the people think that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. I'm a huge Hopkins fan and I still believe Hopkins didn't do enough to win the fight. I hate Calzaghe, but I'm just being objective. I can tell you are a Hopkins fan and that is influencing your scoring.
To be honest I thought Bhop nicked it when I watched it, but can see why it was given to Calzaghe. It was a close fight but one I do not want to watch again and re-evaluate!
I had hop winning by a point but i can see it the other way also,what a dreadful ****ing fight though both were losers imo
B hop **** it, his arse went and he **** it, it was humiliating for him, looking for an exit door with the fake injuries.
