Just rewatched and scored Hopkins-Calzaghe...

everytime i watch this i have Hopkins winning Clean Punching & Effective Aggression - Hopkins by far Defense - Hopkins Ring Generalship - Toss-up, personally give B-Hop the edge though it seems the judges pandered to compubox type stats rather than common sense yup! yup! yup! :fing02:

Both times I have watched this, I have had Calzaghe a 1 point winner (114-113) but felt wrong about it.

I also re-watched and rescored and had it Calzaghe 114-113. So close it could've gone either way. 116-111 I think someone judged it is absolutely horrendous. The same scores as me. And 116-111 is crazy.

I had it 114-113 Calzaghe First time round Too boring to Watch a Second Time...

Calzaghe outworked him in just about every round. Hopkins landed 1-3 clean shots a round, not enough to win for me.

i had b-hop by a point . . . but it was a close fight, i can see why some may have had it for joe. hopkins landed the harder cleaner shots, while joe outpointed.

yeah the fight was boring as hell.

Maybe I need to watch it again but I thought it was a clear Calzaghe win when I saw it in April.

I had Calzaghe winning by 5 rounds, not really that close imo. I respect your opinion, but this fight was a lot closer than that and could have gone either way.

1-Hopkins 10-8 round 2-Hopkins 3 -Hopkins 4-Calzaghe 5-Calzaghe 6-Calzaghe 7-Hopkins 8-Calzaghe 9-Calzaghe 10-Hopkins 11-Calzaghe 12-Calzaghe 113-114 to Calzaghe I just watched this fight again and this is my scorecard.

I had Calzaghe winning by 5 rounds, not really that close imo. Not surprising considering your user name.

Why did you put yourself through that my friend? Are u ok?

In that case, how did one just see it 9 rounds to 3 Calzaghe and 8 to 4 another one??? Ridiculous

I had the fight for Calzaghe since Hopkins held like 200 times, head-butted, and faked low-blows. And the shitty ref didn't do anything about it at all. Bhop was cheating because of Joe Calzaghe's work-rate was too much for him. Well "cheating" is a matter for the ref not the judges, so to consider that in your score is unfair. Joe did his share of holding and hitting/low blows. I agree that Cortez has turned in some horrible performances, but overall I think he did a decent job. I would have liked to see him let them work on the inside more, but he wasn't terrible like I've seen him be in the past.

Just assess who has been more effective that round. Boxing doesn't distinguish between close and wide rounds (excepting knockdowns), thats just the way it is as far as I can see. I'm no boxing expert but I remember, as a Calzaghe fan, not even being that worried by the first score for Hopkins, I was so confident that he'd won more rounds. The beauty of boxing is in enjoying different styles and as such, different judges will see some fights differently. Perhaps I give more credit than others to JC's style, but I really doubt it, I don't particularly like it at all except when it is used to humiliate a limited fighter such as Lacy!
