So does this make Joe Calzaghe's win over Hopkins look even better?

[young_rascal]

Agreed... well-put.

well, calzaghe as much as everyone hates on him didnt go 46-0 for nothing... guy was a really good boxer... and to be honest, i thought he had hopkins totally frustrated in that fight, thats why bernard was going on with all of his shenanigans like acting like his nuts got chopped off when calz barely hit him below the belt.. either way that was a really close fight... i think calz kinda made bhop look bad though when he resorted to those little tactics..

Just watched it again and Calzaghe clearly lands a left to the body before Hopkins holds.

Calzaghe starts the exchange with a right to Hopkins Jaw. Before that they are studying each other, but Calzaghe sees a gap and exploits it. That is good effective work.

Just becuse Hopkins lands it does not mean it is effective. It is only effective if it gets a reaction from Cazlaghe and more importantly stops Calzaghe fighting his fight. It is clear to see that Calzaghe gets better in the second half fight as Hopkins' shots have little effect on him.

Anyway early in RD 6 the video claims Hopkins' lands a 3 punch combination. How on earth can that be described as a sigificant 3 punch combination? A desparate attempt to brainwash people.

ok i see it now. the reason i didn't see it is because its super low and not a scoring punch to the body. i usually only look at the head and body not thigh lol. low blows aren't body punches.

you clearly are reaching for anything to discredit these videos. props to you for trying but the truth is the truth.

i have a tremendous work rate but no skill apparently. can't convince anyone from the uk that calzaghe actually lost even with video evidence. since you guys like football what if 1 team scored 5 goals and the other scored 1 goal and the team that scored 1 was declared the winner. would that be fair? would you say the team that scored 1 goal deserved to win because they ran around more and took more shots? the other team scored more!

i'm british but i had hopkins beating calzaghe that night..... also i don't understand why joe has got away with his slappy punching for so long, recently seen degale being warned to punch correctly.

joe fought a bunch of tomato cans up until he fought jeff lacy (another tomato can lol)

[Who are you?]

I thought Calzaghe clearly won the fight against Hopkins.

Hopkins seemed gassed, was largely outlanded. Calzaghe was too quick + active.

I thought Calzaghe won the fight quite comfortably to be honest. Something like 116-111. (9 rounds to 3)

Bernard got schooled and it was the worst fight of Bernard's career.

that is very childish. we all know bad decisions happen all the time in boxing. looking at someone's record doesn't mean much it just promotes ignorance. i think hopkins won and you think calzaghe won. i think hopkins won because he landed the better punches in more rounds than calzaghe. you think calzaghe won because you like him a lot. reasonable!
