That performance was unreal. Bernard put everything together and showed what a real champion is all about. Pascal put some good punches in the first few rounds and then was done, Hopkins on the other hand, showed all kinds of dimensions and skills.
Haven´t seen the Hopkisn fight yet. But Lebedev did not get robbed. Losing a close fight is not getting robbed. Only at esb. Fools.
People still can't get over Calzaghe coming into Hopkins' country and beating him. Well, couple years later, Hopkins still proves he's got it. Only proves Calzaghe's worth whether you guys like it or not.
Exactly....at most it should have been a draw or win for Hopkins....but they needed to keep Calslappys record clean.... And what workrate....you mean slaprate? Yeh he definately beat Hopkins on that count....compubox should have had another stat to show....slap stat...
So as a true boxing fan, not as a calzaghe nuthugger, are you saying that Calzaghe is ahead of Hopkins in the ATG or accomplishments? Be honest
He made Hopkins go down out of exhaustion. Calslappy? Yeah, he slapped and outgunned Hopkins in their fight. And draw or win for Hopkins? The man didn't do nothing in that fight.
That was impressive. I've never been a big Hopkins fan. I found myself pulling for him by the time the fight started - 45, hostile territory, Pascal is no slouch) but, I thought it was over early and I had resigned myself to the fact that this was one too many for B-Hop. He really came on strong and stayed there. I'm not sure if I liked the last round strategy but I defer to his decisions.
