    YOU DIDN'T THROW ENOUGH, BERNIE!!!!!

    The object is hit, but don't get hit.
    Calzaghes quantity simply stoodout over Hopkins quality.

    I had it 115-112 for the white man with the big nose:yep

    THATS EXACTLY how i thought, hopkins ok he lands one/two crisp shots a round, but joe does all the work and has more then 2 scoring punches so the judges cannot give the round to hopkins he just didn't do enough for me to take more then 4/5 rounds -he knows it he was blowing hard in rnds 7,8,9,10 and joe picked up on it saying he could see hopkins slowing in rounds 9,10

    yeah exactly, you can't win a fight by just throwing the occassional counter punch and trying to hold on the rest of the time.

    well, that's obviously how some round here thinks it works. Now, if it was a wrestling bout then Hopkins would have clearly won.

    exactly the same reason why i was dissapointed with hopkins, calzaghe was open a lot of times but hopkins didn't throw enough punches. While i was watching the fight i was damn hopkins not throwing **** and more clinching. Where his counterpunches and his regular punches. Still good footwork though, great performance for an old man however

    The thing is Calazage would miss 6 punches and Hopkins would land a peach of a punch. Most people were favouring Joe in this exchanges but BHOPs came off better if you kow the sport
