calzaghe won by hairs breadth by life and death split decision versus his gasses 40something opposition, after losing the first half of the fight whilst Hopkins still had gass and outboxed joe at will.
I bet on Hopkins to win that night. I was so confident he had the style to beat Calzaghe and nullify his punch output. Joe clearly beat him. He just outworked him with his punch output.
How can anyone score the fight for Hopkins when he did so much holding, clinching, grabbing, wrestling, faking low blows etc. :huh He should have been docked a point or even DQed it was an awful fight to watch because of Hopkins. People complain about Wlad and Floyd but they don't do near the clinching and grabbing that Hopkins did in this fight. It was a joke.
People who think Hopkins won, need to be taken outside and shot in the face. However I personally do not think anyone actually believes that, and because Hopkins got closer than most, it's a way for the butthurt people to discredit Joe.
hopkis hit joe at will in the face until he gassed and joe just about did enough to life and death split decision crept back into his 40something opponent with massive amounts of wild weak blows for rounds and rounds that eventually BARELY only just overcome the points deficit.
A shot Joe moving up in weight, traveling to Hopkins back yard out-landed Hopkins every round. Deal with it Berol. :hi:
36? flop mate. weighing 175 naturally? flop mate. 40something and joes miraculous cured fear of flying , FLOP mate. joe needed every round. if thathad been a 10 rounder he'd had lost. FLOP MATE. your wish is my command, all dealt with.
Be honest. How many times to you wake up in the night screaming about what Joe did to everyone you wrote him up against. Are the scale of 1 to 395,410,242, how sore is your bum from what Zaggers did? :think
