Calzaghe, the refs and judges

So Asian & South American people can't be influenced no?atsch

 

You miss the point, Dan.

Neither fighter is Asian or South American.

Three judges and the ref are American, as is Hopkins.


But Calzaghe is not losing any sleep on this point. And that tells me that he feels (rightly) that this one is in the bag, no matter who officiates.

 

Ridiculous beyond belief. Lacy plodded forward and was exposed by Calzaghe's excellent combinations and high punch output. He showed no variety in terms of movement and defensive awareness. To compare his skills and experience with that of Hopkins, no comparison.

Hopkins fights well against southpaws, counters as well as anyone in the sport, and has proven himself to be a good puzzle solver.

"Calzaghe - Lacy over again". A very brave call indeed. IMO a rather stupid call.

 

Hopkins has a better record than Calzaghe as things stand. He made 20 defenses at middleweight. Became undisputed champion in the process. Was defeated twice, then moved up to light-heavyweight to win a fight virtually nobody thought he would win.

Calzaghe has to beat Hopkins himself to even come close to matching the career and achivements of the man he's fighting in April.

Don't tell me Calzaghe's career is better than Hopkins' just because he's unbeaten and Hopkins isn't, because you really would be making a fool of yourself. Marciano retired unbeaten, yet that doesn't mean he was better than Louis or Ali.

 

because this fight is set up to favor Hopkins in every conceivable way. props to Calzaghe for agreeing to come over here.

Having watched Calzaghe his whole career, and listened to his bull**** all that time, that has to be one of the most amusing things I've ever read.

 

Does this China_hand_Joe always lack when it comes to boxing knowledge?.

Calzaghe can rely on speed and workrate alone, but no skill?. That doesn't quite add up at all. So what does he do with his speed and workrate to win when its used with no skill. Surely that means he misses punches. Landing accurate punches needs a certain amount of skill, defending as well, and also throwing 3-4 punch combinations. Who's Calzaghe fighting in April, a cardboard cut out?.

 

When Calzaghe has been fighting his bum a month club in Wales where have the judges come from? Or the referees?

Calzaghe has never been on the receiving end of a bad decision, whereas it can be argued that Hopkins should have won both fights against Taylor - who incidentally has better handspeed than Calzaghe despite what the Calzaghe sack-swingers say.

No way on earth is Hopkins getting dominated in this fight. For the first time in his life Calzaghe has taken on a risk, and the best part is he doesn't even realise it :yep

 

Hopkins isn't as tough as Lacy???

Absolute bull****.

 

Absolutely.

 

Hopkins will be stopped.

This fight is a ****ing ridiculous mismatch and a waste of everyones' time.

If you are picking Hopkins you deserve to be sectioned.

 

Why does everyone think 1,000 punches will be thrown in the fight? That ain't happening. Not a chance. Hopkins will slow this fight down, and dictate the pace.

 

deluded americans.
