Max Kellerman and Brian Kenny both had Hopkins winning

Thats how I had it.

 

I like Kellerman. Despite Lampley's prodding otherwise, he actually said the words "Chad Dawson" as a possible opponent for Calzaghe (won't happen, but at least he said it).

Back on topic, I strongly disagree with any score in Hopkins' favor.

Haven't rewatched and maybe I went too wide, but my score was 117-110.

 

I think BHop lost the fight in the first round when he didn't try to put some serious hurt on Joe after he knocked him down.

Joe kept coming forward throughout the fight and seemed unafraid.

Doubt if Tyson would have backed off if he had an opponent down and his confidence momentarily shaken.

 

7-5 Calzaghe

 

Kellerman is a suck ass and has very limited boxing knowlege. See his embrassing proclamations that Eubank decked Calzaghe. The guy can't even do his homework.

Brian Kenney trys hard, but is still limited in his knowlege of the fight game.

Who cares what they think.

 

Kellerman would have scored it for BHop even if Calzaghe would have KO'd him in the first 10 seconds of the fight. 30 Minutes later he would have said something like I have Hopkins ahead 11 rounds to 1.

 

Max kept saying in the HBO broadcast that Eubank put Calzaghe on the floor and repeated this in his post fight interview with Joe...THIS NEVER HAPPENED...Calzaghe put Eubank down in the 1st round.

 

116-112 for Joe, I even gave a close or round or two to Hopkins just to be nice.

 

Hopkins was smart not to, the knock down was just an off balance thing, not a real Knock down. Hopkins knew this and fought smart, then fought dirty when he knew it was over.

 

Why would anybody be surprised that Max Kellerman had Hopkins winning?

I know what I saw, twice. :bart Calzagne won & it wasn't that close at all. :deal

 

...I like Max, but this is very true.

 

Wow...thats a crazy card.....I had it 2 rounds for Joe. Close fight but I think Joe clearly won a la PAC vs jmm 2.

 

If you scored it a draw, you gave the fight to Hopkins based on the KD. And i scored it a draw as well.

 

Bingo. Kellerman has an OBVIOUS bias for black fighters, which is one of the MANY reasons why he's probably one of the worst commentators in the history of the sport, if not THE worst. His scoring is, to say the least, worthless.:yep

 

No, I much prefer Merchant!
