Calzaghe, Hopkins Verbally Collide at Presser

[Addison]

Yes, clearly Hopkins is completely without bias in this situation... Of course Hopkins is saying it. He just lost.

I'm surprised at all these robbery claims. It was such a clear Calzaghe win to me. How do you give a guy rounds for being outlanded, outworked, blatantly buying time by faking lowblows, and intitiating a clinch every three seconds? And aside from the knockdown, B-Hop's punches weren't anymore effective than Joe's - I mean, it's not like either fighter was visibly hurt at any point. Hop's right hands made Joe cautious early on, but, as the fight progressed, Hopkins was obviously becoming increasingly bothered by Joe's adjustments, and his output was typically minimal.

Much more clear than last week's Dawson/Johnson butt****ing.

Look at my thread, dude. I'm not rehashing for johnny come lately..

Hopkins wanted no part of Calzaghe 6-7 years ago, when he was suppose to sign a contract that would have brought calzaghe over here to fight him.

Calzaghe can't force ppl to fight him

Hopkins did well enough tonight at 43 years old, why would he be scared to face Joe 6-7 years ago when he would have been able to perform better, do you think he sat there and said 'i know i'll wait until i'm 43 to fight this guy'. All this fight proves is that Calzaghe wouldnt have beaten Hopkins in his prime. Cal is a busy fighter who throws alot of powder puff punches, thats all, and some people are considering him for a great

[Point Blank]

a white guy landed more punches, ill give you that, but who would you rather be? the guy who got hit with a bunch of slaps, or the guy who got put on his ass, was hurt, told he needed a knockout to win, and was cut???

well the black man was slap silly.

"He was in the hardest fight of his life with a 43-year-old man. I told you I would bust him up. That I would take him back to the amateurs, (he was) throwing punches like my sister."

HaHA.. Even Hopkins is saying it. Funny **** alright..

well ofcourse Hopkins is saying that .. he's delusional.
He said he took Calzaghe to school and that was by no means a schooling by both parties.

[ml2niceguy]

boring and weak ass fight ...lol i was rooting for b hop but it was one of the fights like it was like "oh well" that mu'****a loss and he was talkin all that head....DWAAAAAAMN

[Hagler★]

i never saw hopkins get his ass kicked so what were you watchin. i saw calzaghe swattin flies for him and i also saw calzaghe get dropped as well as cut and told by his father he needs to win. I know who won this fight Hopkins knows and Calzaghe knows so its a minor

[Pugilistic™]

the fight was close, although i thought hopkins won it. joe wasn't the same joe as all.

[fight_professor]

I thought this was about the Pressler *********.

[Sane Man]

History will reflect that a 43 year old Hopkins beat a UK legends ass but lost a decision, im cool with that as well.

Not it won't. Thats just your opinion. It goes down in the books as a Calzaghe win, so it goes down in history as fact that Calzaghe won.

[stefjonno1]

joe for me achieved nothing in the fight that he wanted to accept for getting the decision. He kept coming forward but was throwing marshmallow punches and most were missing! Hopkins countered and picked his punches well and won a close fought fight.

Im scottish/British im a big Joe fan, but for me he lost this fight.


Another thing is Enzo was worried ****less the whole fight, not just the last round, he knows deep down that Bernard could have easily got the decision and probally deserved it.
