Are you not impressed with the fight? With Calzaghe? With Hopkins?

Maybe but if Hopkins is as smart as I thought he was I would have thought that he would learn from his Taylor fights and be more active. I mean if I lost a close fight basically because of inactivity even though the punches I received from my opponent did no damage then MAYBE I would try to be more active in future fights to sway the judges. If you don't knock somebody out then you have to know what scores points. Sure it may not be right but you have to know what you need to do to win and Joe apparent knew this. Clearly BHop knew about this with the statement and yet he decided not to be active and the opponents activity beat him again....When will BHop learn?

 

No they don't. Even in profesional boxing, any clean punch is scored regardless of the damage. Obviously the more damaging a punch looks the more impressed the judges will be, but a point is still a point and Calzaghe scored a lot more of them than Hopins did!

 

Exactly and no punch on earth rocks Bhop at this point so it's clearly about scoring more landed punches against Bhop!! lol

 

Calzaghe was rocked twice. Calzaghe didnt incure any damage on Hopkins at all. The old man of 43 looked like he could go another 12. Calzaghe's corner even thought he was losing, the fight was extremely close, when given Calzaghes younger age and speed shouldnt have been. I fail to see how you could possibly be impressed with Calzaghe.

 

(115 - 113 calzaghe here)

i'm impressed with hopkins. also, calzaghe's performance was alright, but i expected more from him. sure, hopkins' style is a nightmare even for intelligent fighters like calzaghe, and cortez didn't 'support' calzaghe either, but i just expected more. i won't call it a bad fight by joe, that would be disrespectful and it wouldn't be true, as i understand the trouble someone like hopkins can bring you in, but maybe the knockdown in the first left calzaghe too impressed or whatever. but overall.. who cares? he won the fight, nothing else matters.

 

Nor was I, but I really expected Hopkins and co to see through this.

Yeah but this is the problem, bro. This is how it's SUPPOSED to be but that's not how it's happening, and somebody like Freddie Roach should know this. If only Hopkins put in some punches here and there, this would have been in his pocket.

 

Cool down buddy! Don't get mad!

We have different levels of being impressed!

Cal did win but it was far from being pressive!

 

It was an ugly fight and it was all bernard Hopkins' fault!

i dont buy this 'subtlties of boxing' argument, nothihg about the cheating last night was subtle. how the ref didnt take ATLEAST one point away ill never know!

 

cal brang the fight, hopkins throw one and hold,headbut ,bull**** faking,what a joke, its almost impossible to beat hopkins ,the cheap way he fights is a joke,we all paid good money for this fight,time and time again he ****s it up,never buying a nard fight again. i dont think any one could look much better beating hopkins than joe did.

the reason for bernards longevity is his ****ing boring style,**** him.

calzaghe deserves the win,he brang the fight.calzaghe gives bernard credit after the fight,where as bernerd calls calzaghe an amature.

an amature beat you bernard,haha:rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Some of the JC haters seem to think that BH caught JC with several piledrivers each round. What a joke! How many good, clean shots did he catch him with? Not enough to win any fight...even on home ground.
