Who won? Hopkins or Calzaghe?

You don't win in boxing by landing sporadic crisp right hands here and there unless you knock the guy out.

Fights are scored by rounds and Calzaghe won more rounds with consistent punches and aggression. His punches weren't too damaging for the most part and a lot of them missed but he scored more and won the rounds to win the fight.

You can't give rounds to Hopkins where he does very little and might land one good punch, while getting hit a lot more, even if the punches are slaps that don't hurt hopkins.

 

9-3 (116-111) Calzaghe

 

Calzaghe didn't impress me at all.. my heart tells me to give it to Hopkins, but I'll say Calzaghe took it.

 

Round One was 9-9.

 

Joe Calzaghe won, but somehow his punches were not landing cleanly. I was waiting to see JC land a clean power punch that would daze BH, but somehow that didn't happen. Joe Calzaghe still threw and landed more punches than Bernard Hopkins which was ultimately the difference in the score card. Good fight.

 

If Hopkins was the same age as Calzaghe he would have won this fight, but you can't say that Hopkins won more rounds tonight. Calzaghe won the fight, though I think Hopkins is (was) the superior fighter.

 

Wow, all my respect for you just went down the toliet.

 

You've never given a detailed analysis that I felt was worth my time to read.

 

which round did you have Hopkins winning then?

 

Wow. 47 morons on record.
