It is artistic and beautiful. I don't see what the issue is, you all have half naked men up, at least this is all me, 100% pure British beef, nothing homo erotic about that, lets just all appreciate the beauty of the human form and talk some boxing ok?
2 rounds to Calzaghe, very hard fight to score though but clearly 2 for me after watching it a few times. Joe came to fight. Hopkins came to cheat, spoil and rob the fight.
Sup Juju. I had it the other way with exactly that score, but I have no problem with the official decision.
Cheating is irrelvant? I don't think so. Also, judges in America tend to go for the one who is pushing the fight over the one who is spoiling it if a round is close which is absolutely correct in my book.
"Cheating", "spoiling" etc IS utterly irrelevant unless the referee deducts points for it. It is not up to the judges to make decisions on this, nor is it in their remit to score rounds on the basis of whether they approve of a fighter's behaviour, tactics or mentality, or whether they disapprove. They score on their perception of effective boxing work done. You are mistaken.
Im good bud, yourself? It's a close fight, cant see how someone could have it by more than a point either way myself, wouldnt go in a sulk if someone saw it the other way( Unless i was in a mood or hungover):good
It is utterly irrelevant brother. His tactics might have been deporable, but that's beside the point, or beside the scorecard.
I can't grasp how anyone could make Hopkins a winner either. No doubt these posters also had Lacy winning v Calzaghe. All Hopkins did after the first was hold, backpeddle and feign injury. He stunk the joint out and lost. Deal with it:tired
Hopkins won this fight with 114-113, 6 rounds BHop, 6 round calzaghe, 1 point deducted for the knockdown. The rematch has to be made, hands down.
