    Yea it's clear that Hopkins casied as much damage with his head as he did with his fists! He's also a cheat for feigning low blows to get a rest. All repect has been lost for Hopkins after this and his whining after. He's a sad, bitter old man.

    The headbutt was a good move, Joe came in all slap happy there, jumped into the headbutt and took a nice counter right hand and didn't land a shot.

    There was a lot more of that happenening that most Calzaghe hugger want to admit. It's why Hop thought he won, he was in there, he knows he landed clean shots, and that Joe hardly touched him.

    That's one point, IMO, has been really overlooked. It's not like Bernard was charging at Joe for a head butt over and over. Joe was always rushing wildly into harms way. Over and over X infinity, Joe would just run straight at Bhop, arms wailing, until they met body to body and a clinch was about the only option left.

    Joe Calzaghe 3 - Bernard Hopkins 0

    1. Wins the fight

    2. "you got your ass whipped by a white boy"

    3. Calzaghe ass raped Hopkins in front of the whole world. Thereby making him Hopkins Daddy

    Joe won the fight...plain and simple. Hopkins would have been stopped if he didn't feign injury. Joe won and I was there to savour it :)

    You are dead right. Because the entire fight was that clip on a loop for 12 rounds.

    You also didn't count Hopkins' headbutt...

    Your post somewhat ignorant and would enrage me were I an emotional person. What is the framerate of that? Probably much less than 10 f/s, useless evidence to use when Calzaghe punches at a rate of 24.3 punches per second on a bad day.

    I'm slightly confused here. He throws 24 punches a second or is this in regards to frame rate?

    That was in the end of the seventh as Joe threw many arm punches to catch him with one or two shots clean but that could have been the story of the whole fight. Bernard's plan was to make him reach with those fast curved shots and nail him on the counter with very few, sharper and heavier blows... Both guys tried to trick the judges with their strategic approach and both guys failed... Calzaghe's punch power at 175 was not felt because he was worried with winning/turning it around by punch stats once he felt Hopkins power. Hopkins workrate was miserable because he could not keep up a pace with Joe for any moment from round 1 till the final bell ( including after the knockdown, the 20 seconds after the 3 minutes break in round 10 and in the more action packed round 11)... Calzaghe won the fight because he simply proved why he was a favourite in the first place - faster, busier and fresher fighter. Hopkins lost because he didn't do anything else other than expected, and we have to remember he was a underdog for that reason...
