degales a new calzaghie?.

I gave it to joe as well. Terrible fight though wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. B-Hop just couldn't keep with Joes work rate and ability to adjust.

Don't see the comparison in Degale or Joe either except for what Mandana said in terms of punching between the two.

 

Calzaghe won the fight.

 

I thought Reid came closer to beating Joe than Hopkins.

 

Calzaghe beat Hopkins in reality, morally, and any other way you want to judge it.

With degale, the comparison to Joe is impossible to make, because as slip has said on other threads, Joe had incredible intangibles, ring iq etc. Degale has to prove these qualities, you can't just be awarded them.

Style wise, Joe preferred to fight inside/mid range way more than degale does.

 

Hopkins won it.

Calzaghe hardly landed a decent punch all night, was dropped and made to look amateurish in the first five rounds. Sure he came back well, and could have forced a stoppage over 15, but was still behind after 12.

 

Hopkins beat him.

 

i thought JC won that fight. but it was so **** i really don't want to go back and review it

 

Bollocks. He beat Hopkins quite comfortably.

 

Calzaghe comes acorss as a likeable,were as degale comes in as a **** ...

 

For Fsake, what is this site turning into, the Degale Appreciation Society. He aint the new Calzaghe, he aint the new Gman, he is just the new Warren hype job, the jury is still out on him, until he takes on someone with a decent pedigree lets wait and see

 

exactly ,its a ****ing shambels on here.,****s posting about degale walking through the thames as he parted the water

 

Progress of a sort then?

 

Not really alike aside from the occasionally slapping punches. Apart from that they are different styles entirely. DeGale lands his best punches when he counters, Calzaghe hardly ever countered he was always leading.

 

Always gotta look on the bright side, eh Gaz?

 

Calzaghe won it. Just. So close its almost not worth argueing about. Anyone who scored it clearly for either man needs to have a word with themselves.
