Here you go, a complete thorough rundown of the fight; enjoy! :deal Round 1: Hopkins hits Joe with a good counter, Joe goes down. Rounds 2 - 9: Hopkins does nothing but grab and headbutts with the occasional punch. Joe is the only one pushing the action going there to fight. Round 10: Hopkins cries foul and gets a breath Rounds 11 - 12: Hopkins does nothing but grab and headbutts with the occasional punch. Joe is the only one pushing the action going there to fight.
People keep mentioning how much Hopkins made him miss, neglecting the fact that Calzaghe actually had the higher connect percentage.
Hopkins 6 years ago would have got his ass handed to him. When Hatton hits and holds he's ****. When Hopkins does it it's an artform. Pathetic
For the duration of the fight? Or just in the second half of the fight when Hopkins slowed down and became more tentative? It only takes a few rounds to skew the total numbers enough to indicate something that didn't really happen. Calzaghe wasn't landing much early in the fight, but improved as the rounds moved on. He still only landed at a 33% rate, which is solid, but not spectacular.
