    " U need a Knockout Joe " - Enzo Calzaghe

    I thought it was a close fight,for a 43 year old to push Calzaghe the way he did was outstanding anyway,i think Hopkins could have won it by the KD,what i found intresting was Enzo telling Calzaghe " Joe u need a knockout,go for the KO " and after the fight,Calzaghe and his team didnt look too confident,i dont know,it was close..

    I dont think Joe wants to fight Pavlik,before the fight,he kept saying Pavlik is the only fighter that gets his juices flowing,and he only wants the Pavlik fight,now just a minute ago,he said he wants to become the legend killer,and fight Jones,a pointless fight IMO

    To me Calzaghe looked jubilant after the fight, like he didn't have any doubt. He shouldn't have had any reason to. But all credit to Hopkins for being an amazing physical speciman at 43.

      By the face,he didnt look confident,but he kept playing up to the fans,making them cheer everytime he lifted up his hands,similar to what Johnson done in the Dawson fight

          It was motivation. Enzo knew there would be no knockout.

            ****** thing to tell Joe before the 12th when he had the fight in the bag. You could see Joe loading up on some punches that could have gotten him knocked out, had Bernard been a little fresher.

              Enzo was right. Calzaghe clearly won the fight. But a KO leaves no doubt.

              Especially when you have a dillusional judge giving a fight Joe Calzaghe clearly won to Hopkins!

                They were worried about the judging, Calzaghe hasn't had a really gritty tough fight like that for some time.

                  Rightly so.

                  Enzo was in the right!
