who won this exchange?

BHop won the exchange, should have won the fight. This is not Olympic boxing... judges treat it as if it were.

 

Boom-Boom - will you say where you got those CompuBox fugures from? You've been asked a few times.

Also, I'm struggling to count 13 punches (or slaps) thrown by Calzaghe. Anyone else?

I thought the thread was to highlight CompuBox's faults, but I think I was wrong.

 

Actually, it does make a difference. That was the primary parameter you set up for the question.

 

****ing... classic... post Boom. This is the fight in microcosm.

7 punches? I see one glancing right hook land, and one flush left hook. He missed every jab.

Compubox was atrocious on this fight.

 

:good

 

He's making those numbers up.

It's really simple.


Cut out a single moment where the fighter you cry about did better. Then exaggerate on what some people say (13 punches, 7 landed, right ), then say, see, this is bull****, so he won the fight.

A classic strawman argument if i've ever seen one.

 

If Joe landed as many punches as Compubox said he did, Hopkins would have looked like Roy Jones did.

Funny that with all these punches that Joe landed, only one fighter hit the deck in the first, only one fighter looked like a helpless amatuer and only one fighter was severely wobbled late in the fight.

I'm at work right now so I cant check out the video, but I imagine its the one that HBO used as a highlight for Calzaghe in the build up to Calzaghe-Jones. Made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself. Joe is flailing away like a little girl and then Bernard just STICKS him with a perfect right hand completely stopping him in his tracks. Classic. Defines MEANINGFUL PUNCH.

 

Hopkins won..

 

So in other words you made them up?

****ing idiot.

 

woah thats lovely defense by bernard there onto the subject title bernard won the exchange but im not surprised people have the perception calzaghe won exchanges like this as his arms are constantly moving and hopkins tried to land short right hands and hooks which are hard to spot in realtime

 

All i'm saying is that the original post was a made-up claim (otherwise called a "lie") that told only a very small story of the fight.


By the way, who was faking low blows and going down on a knee to buy time at the end of the fight? Calzaghe was in full control, after losing some early rounds.

 

Veteran move. Don't hate.

Doesn't change the fact that only one fighter landed any REAL punches in that bout.

 

I have yet to see proof from boom_boom regarding his compubox numbers. How does he know compubox scored them this way?

Looks like he is just making **** up, as some have already stated. Sad. :hand
