" U need a Knockout Joe " - Enzo Calzaghe

[Jim Jeffries]

Joe's body language was clear by about the fourth or fifth round. He knew he had the fight won and kept it cautious.

That's a little disappointing

Joe looked pretty bad tonight, like most people do when they're fighting Hopkins. Credit to him for hanging in there and landing more punches on Hopkins than anyone has in the history of compubox.

[MANGLER]

Joe was gettin nailed comin in all night but Bernard didn't follow up big when he was stunned. I thought both shoulda gone for the KO at the end, especially Joe since he got dropped. But in the end his activity stole it for him just like people thought.

hopkins' corner were telling him he had the fight in the bag!

Roach doesn't impress me.

To me this result proves nothing, Calzaghe barely got past a 43 year old man, he has beaten good fighters, but is yet to have a win against an elite opponent in their prime, ie Jones or Hopkins 6-7 ago. A good fighter yes, a well hyped carefully managed fighter yes, a great no.

[OptimusWolf]

post your scorecard and explain rather than all this sloppy 'close fight thought bernard edged it'.

I had it 115-112. Calzaghe pretty much dominated from round 6 onwards.

[Pugilistic™]

that was the words of a man who knew his son was losing

[Hagler★]

Hopkins looked tired, Calzaghe didn't.

Calzaghe outworked him to get a deserved decision.

you are unbelievably bias

[Bobby Shaw]

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

Enzo saw his son losing,Christmas came early for this lot

Just watched the fight 2x.

Calzaghe simpley did not land at all. Once judge gave Joe 9 of the last 10.

This was a clear BHOP win, just watch the fight again. It isn't even questionable.

After round 1 HBO was so bias they said Joe had it won not for the KD. UNBELIEVABLE. Then compuFRAUD said he landed more in round 1, completely off the charts CRAZY.

This was a terrible robbery. HBO wants a PPV fighter, thats were the money is, they showed BHOP the door.
