Just watched Calzaghe vs Hopkins

[Visceral]

Found it a hard fight to score... do you score six solid, accurate punches a round or fifty slaps?

I guess Joe impressed the judges with slaprate.

One thing though... I do believe that Bore Hard was legitimately KD'd at least one of the two times, and did his thing to cover it.

Joe looked bad at times, but no other fighter has pretended to sodomise Hopkins.

Fair point, I think only a couple of rounds are up in the air though.

And yes, I noticed that. Was pretty weird. Lampley and Steward either didn't or pretended not to notice.

you mean the low blow that calzaghe threw and landed after the ref yelled break? yeah that was a legit knockdown for sure. the hbo team was so biased as well towards hopkins. lederman with his crazy scorecard giving him 3 rounds. where does he come off? lampley repeating compubox stats that weren't accurate at all to convince people calzaghe was landing when he really wasn't. biased ****s!

Bore Hard went down twice and was clearly being outlasted by Slapsie... I do believe that he was looking to fiddle his way through the fight in the latter stages.

Bore Hard can outlast the likes of Pascal and Moby, but with the slap machine facing him at that stage in his career he couldn't keep up as it went on.

Actually I was talking about when Calzaghe clinched and got behind Hopkins and ....well, lets just say did some miming.

Fiddle... I take it the expression isn't used in the US?

[Marchegiano]

How come Europeans like to argue so much with Americans? It seems like any time the fan demographic of a fighter and his origins line up there's some foriegn ****er blaming domestic fans for something. Maybe it's American fans....Maybe any fight that close has fans screaming robbery, and the obvious overlap makes it mostly Americans. Everytime it's close someone got "robbed". I'm a Calzaghe fan, and an American, but it's not like I get to jump right in with you boys you've directly attacked the American fan....which is me....and successfully alienated me from both the Hopkins side and the Calzaghe side of arguments. Basically i'm saying I agree Calzaghe won, but **** you anyway you hateful ****s. It's immature, and after having been there ( EU ) I can say from England to Germany is mostly *******. No, for real I'd get faces and hears shouts and **** from males that let me know i'm not welcome, but only from a safe place like a car. Not one of you bobble headed ******* said **** in an area were I can put my hands on you. Even though there's a cop around every corner, and there's no way I could linger to really beat your asses. You people as a demographic are so ****ing terrified of the first shot you run your mouths from a safe distance, and never even try to see what you've really got. I'm willing to bet, given you nation gave me no other examples of men, that your a ****ing ***** too who runs his mouth at a safe distance..terrified of one or two ****ing punches before your ****ty version of a cop shows up in his little match box car.

Bhop won that fight. Making a man tired doesn't win you points in my book. Hop was 43. That was some serious guile in play to find ways to catch a breath. Any time he wasn't exhausted he was outperforming Joe.

Well, I'm from Europe and I say Hopkins won that fight. I was actually quite embarrased by Joe's performance as he couldn't even handle a legend who, however, was a shadow of his former self.
