How can Calzaghe be as active as normal when one guy is clinching and won't let go of his ****ing arm. **** a rematch, Calzaghe beat Hopkins in America that says it all.

Hopkins ran, held, feigned injury.

When Hatton holds he's **** when Hopkins does it its an artform.

Credit perhaps to Joe for trying to make a fight?

how was that a clear winner of the fight, B-hop/Joe was an extremely close adn difficult fight to score, Joe was no where near as active as he is known for despite coming forward, and B-hop didnt seem to do himself a favor by being more active and he held a bit

Round 1 10-8 hops (no he did not rush Calzaghe down the only reason he didnt fall on his ass is cause he held onto B-hop)

Round 2- Hopkins edged it

Round 3- Hops

Round 4- Calzaghe edges it coulda been a draw round

Round 5- Calzaghe

Round 6- a close round for Hops that also coulda been a draw round

Round 7 the only round i could not give to either fighter, joe came on with them weak slap combos but B-hop landed a right hand that wobbled him

Round 8- Hops barley got it

Round 9 Calzaghe

Round 10- Hopkins

Round 11- Calzone

Round 12- no fighter seemed to really want it lmao i gave the edge to calzaghe

so i had it 6-5-1 in favor of Hops, it coulda gone either way but those wide scores for calzone were ****** as sin i think Hopkins got it, Hopkins by holding and not being active will hurt him cause people in general dont like that style so the casual fans will rip hopkins and say he lost which clearly isnt the case, Calzaghe did come forward and pressed the action which helps his cause however he was NOWHERE near as active as he was in other fights and NOWHERE near as effective and u dont score points by just comign forward you gotta do soemthing

i call for a remacth

interesting. I didn't really score the fight round by round but I think calzaghe clearly deserved the win and I think its pretty clear to everyone including hops that calzaghe would win even if there were 10 rematches. but that being said, this match should've happened 5 years ago cuz the fight would've looked completely different than it did yesterday and it isn't at all clear as to who would've won then.

Hopkins was moving back a lot but it was movement not running, he held a lot to but i don't know why your moaning about this as everyone knows thats how he fights. It was close I though Bhop landed more clean punches and had the much better defence but held to much and couldn't keep up a high work rate. Joe did well when he was jabbing moving in and out but he was a bit wild at times and open to the straight right. I don't mind Joe winning but there was no way that it was not a dominate display by any fighter.

6-7 years ago Hopkins asked too much money to fight Calzaghe, same thing with your favorite fighter Roy Jones Jr did the same **** to Calzaghe.

So how the **** is Joe meant to look good?

He won the fight. This is elite boxing with two old masters.

Why does JC have to dominate / Ko him to get credit.

He ground it out.Props
