Didnt i say the scoring is subjective already? One judge had it 114-113 to Hopkins so how is that "clear?" Scoring is based on ring generalship and blows landed. Hopkins punches were far cleaner than Joes who`s body of work was simply sloppy and amatuerish. If you think thats clear then good for you but dont allude to Joe winning by any comfortable margin when the scoring was sooo badly askew. As iv said to you already its SUBJECTIVE.
It was also subjective that Verno Phillips beat Cory Spinks, what the hell does that prove? So I don't put too much stock in some of these judges scores, but if you really wanted to you'd find two of them scored it pretty well. The majority of them. Just like the majority of the forum seem to be able to, except the usual suspects.
In Wales, the judges would not have given a simple round to Hopkins. Round one would have been even based on the KD. That is pretty much fact. Hopkins had all the advantages and still hung on for dear life after about 1 minute of the fight and for the rest of the time. He was clinching more than Ruiz on a bad day. There was no intent of ever winning the fight, just of spoiling as much of the actual boxing as possible. In Wales in front of thousands of fans booing Hopkins for 11 rounds, no uncorrupted judge would have given Hopkins a single of those rounds.
Your not getting it are you and you`ve not disproven my point. Il write it 3 times for you SUBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE SUBJECTIVE. Il even include a dictionary definition for you: SUBECTIVE: taking place within the mind and modified by individual bias; "a subjective judgment". YOU made the assertion that is was a clear decision. It obviously was NOT because one judge gave the fight to Hopkins by 1 point. So again wether you put stock in a judges scoring is entirely immaterial as those are the facts that are present. Just because YOU have subjectively chosen to ignore them doesnt make you point valid nor your ramblings about the apparent majority on this board.
Yep,as a boxing fan,i cringed watching that.Lousy interview. Hops being so ungracious is the reason for Joe slagging him off though;Im sure Joe would have been a good winner if Hops was a good loser,instead of bitching after that clutch and cry effort.
I get it perfectly. What you are posting is just completely meaningless, because 3 inept judges scored Phillips over Spinks. It doesn't mean a damn thing. Everything is "subjective", this is a forum where people post their opinions man, congratulations for stating the obvious :nut It is still my opinion Calzaghe clearly won the fight, and I don't know what that dumb ass judge and some visually impaired people (that by coincidence are usually found to be Calzaghe haters) were looking at
I seriously hope RJJ schools his ass with one last great performance ! Joe seems like a great guy but his father rubs off on him too much now..
calzaghe is not just bringing it up now .he was asked questions and he answered them honestly you cant knock him for that .he didnt bring the subject up about hopkins.
Calzaghe also dissed Hopkins by stating " Whats Hopkins done but beat Tarver who's only claim to fame was beating a WASHED UP OLD ROY JONES JR" Now he say Roy Jones is a legit opponent. Calzaghe talks out of his ass like his old man LOL.
You mean, "If points were scored for effective punching." Which apparently only one judge did in that fight.
Correct me if I'm wrong but hitting with the inside of the glove is a FOUL in boxing is it not?? Yes it is and the majority of Calzaghes punches were slaps which are illegal. Only blows scored with the knuckle part of the glove score. Even the low blow Calzaghe hit Nard with was with the inside of the glove LOL Add to that the rabbit punches he hit Nard with he was lucky not to get DQ'd
