I am not saying he landed hard punches, I am actually sure he didn't hurt B-hop at all and B-hop wasn't marked up at the end but all you have to do is touch an opponent's head or body to land scoring points. I like ko shots as much as anyone but I had to be as objective as I could when scoring, and that is honestly what I saw. No hate or nutthugging on either fighter, and the video is actually pretty HQ for a youtube video.
Anyone know where i can watch HOPKINS vs CALZAGHE???

there is a reason there are no gifs floating around of calzaghe actually landing punches. there is a reason there are only like 2 pictures of calzaghe actually touching hopkins and i think in both of them hopkins is lighting him up even worse. even the pictures that look like calzaghe just landed a punch have been proven false. it's a manfredo stoppage all over again and you fell for it.I am not saying he landed hard punches, I am actually sure he didn't hurt B-hop at all and B-hop wasn't marked up at the end but all you have to do is touch an opponent's head or body to land scoring points.

What got me was people who actually went to the fight live at the MGM and them telling me adamantly that Calzaghe won it.
From watching the fight again one thing is clear, the camera angles and bull**** switching of shots weren't good in this fight.
i.e the clean straight left of Calzaghe at 2.17-16 in Round 6 in the video above, first time I've seen it. Hopkins got pissed with the punch and goes in with his head after as a cheap shot.
As much as it pains me to say it there are a lot of clean punches by Calzaghe but it would take a while going through this **** boring fight in slow motion.Comment

If you mean by landing less punches per rounds and using your head as a weapon and your fists as clinching powers, then yes Bhop won like that... How does someone win a fight if they aren't landing the majority of the punches per rounds, I guess Bhop won since he landed the least per rounds.Comment
