Looking at the headbutts throught the fight, how Joe never got seriously cut (to the degree where the fight has to be stopped) i'll never know. Hopkins was so dirty that night. Full credit to Calzaghe. Hopkins is a smart guy, he would have studied over and over for this fight, he knew the only chance he had of beating Calzaghe was by making it as dirty and ugly as possible. And it almost worked for him!
slappy joe is a brave fighter for saying those things to kelly, getting credit for someone else's hardwork is a brave trait indeed. slappy joe your making yourself look silly again. i think BHOP would beat you the 2nd time around. dont hype yourself joe your not great period and your wins are against old washed-up fighters. i bet you joe would proclaim himself "GOD OF BOXING" if he beats an old washed-up roy jones, that is if he beats roy.
Hopkins didn't exactly look old and washed up last saturday night. Calzaghe's style clearly pisses a lot of people off (mainly the americans) but give credit where credit is due, he always finds a way to win. You don't like his "slaps", i didn't like Hopkins faking low blows and being boring throughout his career, but i still give him credit for being one of the best boxers of his era, because he is.
What a fight! i stayed up all night just to watch this and it was worth it! Hopkins is incredible, and has made up for his display against Calzaghe (faking injury to get a breather)
