How did you score Calzaghe-Hopkins?

[#1Assassin]

115-112 hopkins, based mainly on clean effective punching and defense.

It was a pretty close fight, but after round 4 i cant remember hopkins really doing that much at all so i scored it a couple rounds for calzaghe. Hopkins rolling around the place after calzaghe barely touched him the 3 rd time was comical though. Hopkins is amazing to be so competitive at his age, he was snappy for the first few rounds but faded

Its not really a scoring criteria.

Its not really a scoring criteria.

The scoring of a professional prize fight is based on four basic criteria: clean punching, effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and defense

What takes more effort to thorw punches, or make your opponent look amateurish by missing everything.

Calzaghe won that fight pretty clearly.

115-112 calzaghe

ive watched it a few times and could have it slightly closer or wider being generous too either guy but 115-112 seems right too me

hopkins had a few decent rounds and some were very close which made it close

the problem is hopkins was so negative and even after landing one-two good shots in a round he would clinch for the remainder of the round,he did well for a guy of his age but he seemed more concerned in shutting calzaghe down (which he had slight success doing) than launching his own offence,he seemed tired after the 9th but had a good 10th round after the 3 minute break he took for the phantom low blow
it was a bad performance from calzaghe too,he was too eager too impress and fell into hopkins traps too often,he could have made it an easier night for himself but made some mistakes
that said,after all the pre-fight talk hopkins really disappointed me,making calzaghe look like the bully in their which was something i hadnt expected,and his antics in the 10th & 11th really made him look bad imo

joe barely hit him with a clean punch all fight, you can say he outworked him but there were no clean shots landed by calzaghe.

hopkins landed clean blows, sneaky shots hard to see by the untrained eye. but he landed them none the less, hurting joe 3-4 times in the fight.

Its not really a scoring criteria.

yes it is.

- clean effective punching
- ring generalship
- defense
- effective aggression

alot of so called fans dont score defense though, like yourself apparently. but it is a criteria of scoring a fight, a major one.
