The Joe Calzaghe Deception, the night Bernard Hopkins was robbed

The video maker does recognize calzaghe he doesnt just give hopkins every round. So he should be counting shots that dont land? Defense factors into scoring as well everytime they mixed it up in that video hopkins got the best of it and calzaghe would turn his back to bernard and cover up and the ref would step in. Holding is a part of boxing Bernard being the older man thats his game plan against the younger faster fighter counter right hand hold mess up his rhythm calzaghe was so frustrated by bernards defense he started slapping calzaghe can drop solid blows but because of bernards d and ring iq he wasnt able to settle and get off the old man fought his fight.

 

Calzaghe was holding in the fight as well giving bernard lowblows everytime cal would come in bernard sting him with a right calzaghe would bucklelittle bit and tie bernard up so they were both holding in the fight as far as im concerned.

 

Exactly man they sound like the TYson fans complaining and wont give evander ne credit for beating tyson because oo evander headbutts and he holds Evander fights inside hes a smart technical fighter whose advantage is inside he and bernard get the same critisisms.

 

Yeah he was exciting and was really the executioner back then now becauseof his age he has to be the decisioner lol he had good handspeed BUT if he and roy rematched Bernard would use those tactics against roy because roys got faster hands and more gifted atheletically so bernard would do whatever he could to neutralize Roys attributes just like how he tried to neutralize joes fast hands.

 

Calzaghes a good fighter but he isnt in same league as prime roy and aprime hopkins who were the primary standouts of this era of boxing outside of Lennox Lewis. Lennox actually came over to the us and chased riddick bowe evander and beat all them "yanks" Calzaghe never did so he dwelled in the uk.

 

But they can hate and say what they want i dont even care to reply to them jokers anymore lol at the end of the day boxing history will treat roy and bernard accordingly both guys have nothing to prove and get their respect only time ive ever heard those two get downgraded was when i joined this site lol

 

lol i like the klitchkos tihnk im one of the few americans that does. Vitali was a monster coming up 92 percent knockout ratio very skilled scientific boxer like Liston was not sayin hes as good but in that sense he reminds me a bit of him in that sense and hes a 6 foot 6 superheavyweight to top that off. His brother wlad beautiful footwork moves really well i didnt know bout him years ago but hes come along when he began his reign he was little bit too cautius seen him dominate a fight with a damn jab lol then as u can see once he started putting a little something behind the jab hes knocking everyone out left and right.

 

Vitali was unfortunate felt at his peak he was better than wlad is now but he woundup getting that damn injury before the rahman fight and pretty much got robbed of his prime the injury was pretty serious they plagued his whole career it seemed but i wish they would still fight eachother Vitalis still a great fighter which speaks volumes about him not easy to come off that many injurys.
