114-113 Calzaghe....

I was not insulint you i corrected the post sorry about that.

 

I did too. Joe just took over the fight by the fourth round. His jab
started connecting well and often, his left hook started landing with
more power and became shorter and straighter as the fight wore on.
His speed of foot and jab kept forcing Hopkins to back up along the
ropes and at times to cower in the corners. As Manny pointed out
when Hopkins bulled forward Joe was at his best flurrying to Hopkins
head and backing quickly out of range or forcing Bernard to hold on.
Joe just dominated the fight from 4 th round on. Hopkins faked
being hurt and rested awhile in the 10th so was a bit more competitive
but that was chicken**** behavior so I gave that round to Joe on
principle.

 

I'm surprised there's not more "even" rounds on peoples scorecards.

I know typically judges don't like them, or so we're told anyway, but you still see them more often than not in fan scorecards.

I personally think that a number of rounds were extremely close and "swing" rounds, as Kellerman put it. My one even round was probably being generous, even.

 

:happy
agree with you bro.. we should give cal credit for the win!!

 

:yep

I never "talk myself out" of a written scored round... *cough*...

 

Nah, he should have been able to annihilate him...

I always put big expectations in my favourite's, Calzaghe won easily, but this was not what I was looking for here.

 

I think once you see again tomorrow you will have a wider decision for Joe.
