British Joe fan, but he still lost!

i like hopkins a lot and i do belive the punchstats were completely ridiculous as i was sober watching on an hd big screen and many punches did not land and were ineffective. But that being said he did get a little outworked and i thought he could lose the fight by a close margin but he was the champ and calzaghe never really did anything special.

Hops racism cost him this fight. Bottom line. The judges and their scores reflected that. Giving Joe the nod here is the equivalent of giving Sam Soliman the win against Winky Wright and maybe you can argue giving Spinks the win over Taylor. It's bull****. If your offense isn't effective, **** it. I don't care how much you're throwing, if you're not cracking a man's defense with clean shots or even really having an effect on him, but he's clocking you (even at low frequency) why should you get the win? I think a majority of fans here aren't interested in the sweet science but in "brawl 4 all" type events. These lower weight fighters in boxing that beat the hell out of each other often displaying little to no defensive prowess seems to be all anyone has an attention span for these days.

HBO was biased as hell and had incentive to screw Hopkins if he didn't win definitively with a potential Jones Jr./Calzaghe bout on the horizon.

Im sorry but I disagree with you.

I was drunk when I watched the fight live, and I thought Hopkins won. After sobering up, I decided to watch the fight again. Calzaghe landed a lot more cleaner shots than he appeared too. When Hopkins throws his punches, he only throws two, maybe three at a time, which makes them easy to count when they land. When Calzaghe throws, he throws maybe 5-10 shots, which can mask the effective shots he throws in his combinations. Calzaghe landed maybe five great shots, and on close inspection, may of hurt Hopkins a couple of times.

Dont get me wrong this was a close fight, but it was a close fight Calzaghe won. But I dont know what fight the third judge was watching...he had a terrible scorecard.
