Hopkins v Calzaghe: Post Fight Analysis

For what it's worth this is my opinion:

In a close fight, i had Calzaghe winning on points. Probably just by 2 maybe 3. However, i don't think Joe ever hurt BHop or had him in any trouble at any stage throughout the fight.

I was going for Calzaghe but i also like BHop, point is i never felt Joe was ever going to stop BHop (even though enzo was saying he could ) however i always thought Bhop was close to KO'ing Joe when he charged in.

Very sloppy fight and i thought BHop performed better than Joe even through i had Joe clearly winning................if that makes sense :huh :huh

In saying that Joe did get dropped in the first and was making his American debut........ he did well to fight back after being behind both on points and in the mental stakes.

 

Kessler lost a lot of support when he pulled out of the miranda fight. If you are fighting at the elite level, you should take on all comers. But it worked out for the best cause abraham now gets a chance to put miranda to sleep once & for all.

 

and the winner of the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight is ???? ......................... ROSCOE

 

If the fight was on the streets i would always back B-Hop.:deal

 

Not after how gassed he looked I wouldnt.

Yeah typical try hard rapper Kellerman doing his thing.atsch

Prefer old Larry anyday.

 

At least Kellerman is passionate about boxing. Merchant shows great disdain for a lot of fighters, which is reflected in his sarcastic interviews.

 

I could.

It was just highlighting the fact it wasn't a low blow and that he was just using it as an excuse to recover. The 'punch' fell low, but it lacked the 'blow' to be of any significance.

I respect everyone's opinion and interpretation of these things as they can be a bit of grey area, but I totally agreed with Max Kellerman bringing this up as Hopkins fought dirty the whole 12 rounds - but as soon as something happened to him he cried :huh
