I dont have mines but I felt Calzaghe edged a quite close one. There`s no way Im putting myself thru the pain of sitting thru that fight any time soon, it was utter ****.
I'm the same. Calzaghe, close but clear, in a shite fight This comes up ****ing daily on here mind you
Yeah, lol. I saw some of it but they're missing part 1/6 on youtube and I hate watching fights were I have no idea what happened in rounds. You can only imagine the pain I go through watching very old fights when they skip rounds. lol
Calzaghe really loves to **** on a good fight with quite a wanktastic one straight after, doesn't he.
This was a fight for Hopkins to lose. He was schooling Joe the first few rounds, easy. But you cannot excuse Joe's workrate and output towards the end of the fight. If Bernard just punched a little more, he could have won it hands down. No way you could give this fight to Bernard, just too few punching at the end.
i had it rounds 1,2,3,4,5,7, and 10 for hopkins. calzaghe didn't land a real punch in any rounds and the first five rounds hopkins walked in with the jab followed by a straight right whenever he felt like it and nailed him. he also outlanded him in those rounds unless you count elbow punches. any round calzaghe won was simply given to him based on what hopkins didn't do as opposed to what calzaghe did do. if you don't believe, atch the fight and read the comments. no one credits calzaghe for lading anything, they just bash hopkins for not throwing as much. i think the guy who was fresher, looked like he just went jogging, and wasn't bleeding with a broken nose won the fight. i know calzaghe is not the strongest puncher, but 232 punches that seem like they would have some kind of effect. especially against a 43 year old man. but there was no swelling or bruising anywhere on hopkins, 115-112 hopkins.
I had calzaghe winning 9-3 but every rd was close...it was a **** fight buty by no means a robbery....BHOP did jack **** to win that fight
i don't believe in saying someone won a fight because they missed the most punches. i guess if a title wasn't on a line, but calzaghe didn't exactly WIN the fight. it's just that hopkins didn't either, so you give it to calzaghe based on what hopkins didn't do as opposed to what calzaghe did do. fights like that should be ruled a draw. just like dirrell didn't lose against froch, as froch lost every exchange, dirrel simply didn't earn the title. people who think calzaghe won off of quantity should think clottey beat cotto. i think he beat cotto, but it wasn't because of quantity, it was because he LITERALLY BEAT COTTO.
Crap fight, Slappy landed nothing of note. I had it 115-112 Hopkins. Hop won the early rounds and tired later on, as he was bound to do at that age, Slappy knew this otherwise he wouldn't have taken the fight atsch
Sounds right. Hopkins didnt help his cause with the low blow thing. Calzaghe didnt land anything that effected Hopkins. After the fight Joe looked defeated and Hopkins looked like he went to the movies. Cant see give a guy a title based on what Joe did:verysad
