    Winning 1 round outta 12 doesn't win a fight unless you KO the guy. I'm here to help.....................

    How can people say that Hopkins won? The same way that people said that Marquez beat Pacquiao! Some people just can't score a fight objectively. I was pulling HARD for Hopkins but I just couldn't give him the nod. I had it for JC 115-113

    116-111 Calzaghe.

    WTF Hopkins backers? Were you knocked down in the 1st as well? Hopkins had a big 1st, but never had a CLEAR round after that. A lot close but some clean Calzaghe rounds.

    But Compubox tells you EVERYTHING:

    Total punches:
    CALZAGHE: 232/707 33%
    HOPKINS: 127/468 27%

    Power caterogry:
    CALZAGHE: 187/483 39%!!!!
    HOPKINS: 116/375

    If there'd be a 'Dirty category', Hopkins would be the winner.

    Those faked low blows were shameful to say the least.

    I had Hopkins winning the fight, though I'm not surprised or disgusted at the decision. Said to my girlfriend before the decision was announced, "Calzaghe by Split Decision", though I had it for Hopkins.

    I agree that Calzaghe won, but that statement is very wrong. Very wrong.

    He calls himself a throwback...How many fighters can you name from before the 1960's who held their balls for 5 minutes over a nothing punch? :lol:

    Hopkins is a joke.

    Nope. It doesn't tell who landed the more important or cleaner shots.

    I don't know man, I had it 114-113 for Joe but there where alot of rounds that could have gone either way.

    If anyone is crying robery though they are full of ****.

    I will say Hop landed more effective shots but Joe's work rate is what won him the fight.

    Alot of what Calzaghe was throwing didn't have much on it to say the least.

    Congrats to Joe, I had him winning the fight, he is a true champion.

    Do you even know what a Throwback is? If you don't think Hopkins is one, then you clearly do not.
