Hopkins-Calzaghe scorecard with notes

hey,

i'm new here. my cousin is also a member and he told me the issue that gets most people on this forum going is the hopkins-calzaghe fight. i scored it a bit wider than most i think, so a good way to introduce myself would be to post my card. i've included my notes so you guys can see my reasoning for the score.

enjoy reading and all comments welcome :thumbsup



1.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 8

H scores KD, and lands next best punch of round with another right hand similar to the KD punch not long after


2.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 9

could've been a 10-10, wouldn't argue with anyone who saw it that way, C forced action, H got off first a few times


3.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 9

competitive, but a hopkins round. H does cleaner work on inside, and lands couple of right hands


4.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 10

could be a hopkins round, but settled on a draw. H lands a good straight right, but not enough in this one to give it to either


5.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 10

very even round.


6.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 9

first good punch landed by calzaghe comes in round 6! A good left hand at 2.12. But H comes back with a good right to the body then lovely right hand off the ropes. H lands better punches, smothers C's attacks, C misses with a few flurries of punches


7.....hopkins 10, calzaghe 9

H lands good left at 1.26. C comes forward a lot, his jab is not effective, punches don't land. H staggers C with hard punch after C's flurry misses at end of round


8.....hopkins 9, calzaghe 10

C lands nice left on 1.19. H fires back with straight right. Another H straight right at 2.13. close round but C edges it as his jab is better this round


9.....hopkins 9, calzaghe 10

C good short left at 0.40, H comes back with right hand. same as last round, could be a 10-10 but C just does a bit more here


10....hopkins 10, calzaghe 9

a clear H round. H nice straight right at 1.00, again at 1.24. despite C's aggression and output it is H that lands all the best shots


11....hopkins 9, calzaghe 10

C gets more punches in, although neither man lands many cleanly


12....hopkins 10, calzaghe 10

even. both flurry, no advantage gained



total..........hopkins 117, calzaghe 113

welcome! and thanks for the notes with the scorecard, helps us see what criteria you utilize

 

thanks :good

 

I agree with you about Hopkins winning but I had t a little closer, cant remember what excatly.

Anyways, welcome to ESB. Avoid Pacquiao-Mayweather talk.

 

good call:good i had calzaghe by a point but save for hagler-leonard, probably the worst fight to score i've ever seen

 

:good

Every time I watched it I had a different score for a different fighter, god knows why I watched it that many timesatsch

In the end though i've had it as very close to Hopkins most.

 

What he said.....i had the fight a little closer than that...but i did have Hopkins winning as well....

 

next to rahman-barrett, probably the worst i've ever seen

 

Yep, that and Ruiz-Oquendoatsch

I must have watched Hagler-Hearns twenty times to recover from that

 

like a poison....bad fights just dig at your soul

 

I had Hopkins winning but way closer like a point or two difference. Id have to watch that dreadful match again to be sure.













BTW STFU AND GTFO NOOB! :good

 

Fixed.

 

dammit eva, how'd we forget to properly introduce him?!atsch

 

we all slip up from time to time no biggie.

 

very close fight to score but i had calzaghe by 2 pts. i just cant give the fight to hopkins due to his low work rate round after round
