Hopkins won this fight 7-5 and one even. Calzaghe is a good fighter but he would never been good enough to beat Hopkins.
There is always some thread on this, some Americans can just not accept Hopkins lost, and lost clearly. He won 3 rounds.
Nah, hopkins was not great in that one really, calzaghe wasnt either but no way hopkins won that one, he just didnt do enough
Calzaghe was made to look awful at times and still came away with the W, i had it 114-113 to Cal at the time and have not watched it since, what a truly awful fight.
I watched the fight with my two homies Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. We all saw it go Hopkin's way with a narrow win over the white boy. Of course, the network robbed Hopkins because of his talented pre-fight verbal skills.
All you poof bois still playing with your Calzaghe and Lacy action dolls like its Toy Story 4 only watching this fight to replay Calzaghe demostrating his homo antics need to stop turning your laptops into craptops by taking a **** on your keyboards while posting on this thread mofukhas. The white boi got outclinched and floored none of that slapping **** comes into the equation.
hopkins landed 127/468, 11/93 jabs, 116/375 power punches 27% accuracy calzaghe landed 232/707, 45/224 jabs, 187/483 power punches 33% accuracy Calzaghe landed more punches in every single round and was more accurate in 10 of the 12 rounds hopkins was more accurate in the 1st the 2nd round was even in accuracy both at 29% I really struggle to see how people thought hopkins won this fight
This fight should have been a No Contest like it would have been decades ago, people needed to start throwing things in the ring and leaving somewhere around the 8th or 9th round. Awful, boring, ugly fight, in my opinion they both should have lost, but if it had to go to someone Joe for sure, at least he was trying to do something. I'm sick of Hopkins just trying to survive and then everyone calling him brilliant or that he was robbed, he can't deal with hand speed.
