    Hopkins game plan against Calzaghe....

    When i watched the fight the first time round i thought Hopkins game plan was all wrong and flawed to bits but after watching the fight again i reckon he got it near enough spot on apart from the fake low blow which was unnecessary. The way he went about his business was about the only way anyone could beat Calzaghe.

    He neutralised Calzaghe more then Calzaghe neutralized him and nearly pulled it off. He made Calzaghe look **** and landed the better shots IMO.

    A rematch would be very interesting the more i think about it. Hopkins has the tools to do it IMO.

        B-hop fought a boring fight by clinching to slow Calzaghes workrate down... ****ty ref didn't deduct points from B-hop. It's laughable when Berto got deducted points for holding like 3 times against Collazo, while hopkins held like 170 times against Calzaghe...

              Bhop should have had like 5 deducted points for how much he was holding, their is no doubt Calzaghe won since B-hop got away with alot of dirty tactics like headbutting in plain view of joe cortez the ****ty ref that seemed to be getting a pay-check from bhop... Bad ref, and even worst fight. I rate it Calzaghes most boring fight, and I never seen a boring Calzaghe fight.

                When fighting Calzaghe it's very hard for a judge to score a fight for you if you just land a right hand straight from here and there all fight.

                  Hopkins won the fight
                  Calzaghe won because of throwing punches that missed

                    cal-slappy did not win that pitty-pat fight...Hopkins clearly threw less, landed as much & landed tha harder shots so ask yourself if joke calslappy's work-rate was effective...answer: NO!!
