Yup, it was the worst fight in the entire world. A bad clash of styles, Hopkins clinching to slow down the workrate of Calzaghe. And I don't know, I think I only saw the fight one time and every so often check out highlights or clips of it but for the most part it was a **** fight. And both men had a hard time hitting each other cleanly. It's because their pretty good at avoiding punches... I don't know, **** fight.
Just scored Hopkins - Calzaghe again...

compubox was counting the slaps too. They don't call him CalSlappy for nothing. Joe is the hardest slapper in the business.

Joe lost that's the truth.He wasnt landing any shots there.Boxing is not just about throwing shots like a dejected poof,you gotta land those shots,it's about hitting your opponent and not getting hit.Hopkins did that,dropped Joe in the first round an toyed with Joe throughout the fightHow anyone can score this fight for Hopkins is beyond me. I can't score rounds for fighters who throw 1 punch a round and are dirty cheaters. Hopkins leant in with his head after he threw every right hand going for headbutts, he also hit behind the head frequently (so did Calzaghe though), he intentionaly low blowed Calzaghe and he also faked many low blows which wern't low blows (which caused him to win a round on my card because he took a breather and got to throw more effective punches that round).
Debatable rounds:
Round 4 - I gave it to Calzaghe on workrate
Round 10 - I gave it to Hopkins (even though he cheated) he took a breather and managed to land the more effective punches after that.
I gave Hopkins a 10-8 round in the 1st round, i gave him the 2nd round 10-9 and i gave him round 10 at 10-9 even though he cheated.
Every other round was Calzaghes. Final score 116-111 Calzaghe. Not even close.Last edited by Bobby Shaw; 05-20-2009, 08:26 AM.Comment
