    I don't need youtube videos with a clear biased agenda to tell me who won, I thought Joe won with his work rate and B-Hop couldn't handle it at his age, not to say he couldn't have beaten Calzaghe earlier in his career.

    I'll rewatch the fight in my collection, see if i see anything different.
    are you a parrot who just repeats what people say? how exactly is being hit low fake? you can see clear evidence of a low blow and now it's hopkins fault? ultimately it's calzaghe's fault for throwing the low blow which allowed hopkins to rest up and this wasn't the first low blow calzaghe landed during the fight so the rest was warranted. he even admitted to hitting hopkins low out of frustration but yeah i guess you don't care about that mr parrot.

        I don't recall saying it ever was, just that it's what gave B-Hop problems and made him need a rest late in the fight. Workrate might not be a scoring criteria but it does win fights, more so when it's against a fighter, who while accurate can and has been outworked before.

        I'm a big fan of B-Hop, thought he was robbed against Taylor the first time, just didn't see it the same way against Cal.

        Also I already saw 30 seconds disappear from the first rnd of you vid. See, that's why i'd rather watch the actual fight, without bias.

          What a ******ed thing to write, luckily for you this comment will disappear underneath all the Hopkins fanboys crying over something that happened 3 years ago, oh well.

            because hopkins got tired in the last couple rounds that means calzaghe wins the early rounds? how does that work?
            was hatton beating mayweather as well?

            all the parts where no one is throwing punches are cut out. it's supposed to make it less boring since just circling around doesn't really favor one guy or the other.

                Did i hurt your feelings? i always speak my mind, i could give a **** less how you feel about it, but i mis-spoke, what i ment to say was B-Hop was hit by a borderline low blow, and took advantage of it to take a much needed break.

                    I can't believe this is still an issue. At best the fight was very close. Calling it a robbery is plain ridiculous.

                    And furthermore I can't understand this obsession people have with Hopkins in the first place. His fights are generally boring, he blatantly uses dirty tactics whenever he can and he is one of the biggest sore losers in the sport. He's up there with Tarver and Winky Wright in that regard.

                      Its still not a scoring criteria. So how am I ******ed for writing a FACT.

                      The fact that anyone scores for WORKRATE is wrong. any judge who does this is an idiot. Any fan who does this doesn't understand boxing.
