Hopkins vs Calzaghe - who won? *2013 Poll*

I'm not American.

 

Hopkins took him to school. Joe and his dad were frustrated all night. Joe was so frustrated at punching glove and air all night. I remember the convo between joe and his dad after round 11. Dad, wtf are you doing out there? Joe, he's cheating. Dad, I don't ****ing care. You need a ko! CLASSIC!

 

You'd have to tell that to the Calzaghe fan who made the thread atsch

 

Calzaghe won 115-112. Hopkins just didn't do enough. He also faked a low blow to buy himself some time because he was gassed out and would have got stopped by the Savage Slaps of Joe Calzaghe if he hadn't decided to audition for the Oscar's at that moment.

 

I'm American and I think Calzaghe won that fight, also a big fan of the Italian dragon

 

Through the first 7 rounds I can count on two hands how many scoring blows joe landed.

 

Their faces at the end of the fight tell the tale of what happened. You couldn't even tell Hopkins was in a fight and joe looked like he got in a car wreck.

 

Seriously there's more Calzaghe/Hopkins threads than 2011/2012 LEWIS/VITALI threads.

 

Yeah, because we've never heard a corner their fight that they needed a KO in order to win even if their guy was winning the fight atsch It's called encouragement dummy.

 

Awful fight. I scored it to Joe first time round by a very close margin & wont ever watch it again.

Close fight, couldve gone either way & the post-fight banter was far more entertaining that the fight itself.

It was a stinker

 

It's always faulty logic to use how faces looked at the end of the fight to say who won.

If you unequivocally used facial damage to score fights in every situation, than DLH would have beaten Mayweather, Pacquiao clearly beat Marquez the third time, Bradley beat Pacquiao, etc.

As people are often fond of saying on this matter (when it suits their argument at least), some people just mark up more easily than others.

 

Calzaghe either 115-112 or 114-113. I don't see how Hopkins could have gotten 6 rounds in that fight.

Boxing fans have this logic that if a fight is close but fighter A won = automatic justified win for fighter B. I've never understood that.

 

I love B-Hop as much as anybody, but he definitely lost the Calzaghe fight.

 

Calzaghe, to me it's not as close as people say.
