What Is This? The Amateurs?

[Cutthroat]

In one of the rounds on a replay Calzaghe throws a bunch of punches and lands two on Hopkins' back and shoulder and Hopkins lands a clean hard, I think right hand on the chin on Calzaghe, that one replay defines how pretty much the whole fight went.

[Killa Cam]

at tha least id say a draw...

it seam like tha fight was tha same cases as williams/margarito, pavlik taylor II, tha fighter who lost landed tha harder more effective punches, but tha winner had much more, weak punches...

[RisAri0]

put it this way...Calzaghe won the fight... B-Hop won the match if he was sparring Joe...

but since this is a major fight, I thought Joe did enough with his effective 'slaps'...this coming from a bhop fan

[Addison]

LOL, he out worked him but a lot of those punches looked very sloopy. Addison can you make a gif of the end of the 7th round where Calz is literally just swinging his arms with punhes, karate chops, slaps....LOL.

I wish I could, L2B. Hyperion and GodofWar are the fellas who do them that I know. It's a good thing Calzaghe is a decent guy - I would really barf in his face if we ever met as a Boxing fan..

He wasn't even landing slaps, dude. He got the decision because he was coming forward. Period.

[Addison]

It's called professional prizefighting.

Clean and effective punching.


I don't want to hear any ****ing crying.

Hopkins hardly did anything after the first round. I understand the criticism of Calzaghe, I just think it's a bit one-sided. Neither has much to smile about tonight.

How did you score it Addison?

Gotta give Hopkins all the rounds in which he was scoring the clean and effective blows. That was most of them.

That flailing about, the innefective aggression, doesn't do it for me, and not for one of those judges either.

This sounds an awful lot like amateur scoring.

One hard punch equals ten *****-slaps in my opinion.

Yes, I am saying Calzaghe *****-slaps.

And I have seen you, Tys, with my own eyes beat an amateur fighter, under amateur rules, with professional style fighting.. Wait until you see this fight.
