Bernard Hopkins was robbed in the Calzaghe fight ....Proof inside.

B-Hop fought smart and hard for the first 4 rounds, then won the 10th after his extended break, in between & after those he wasn't throwing or landing nearly enough to win any of those rounds. B-Hop looked good and executed his gameplan well early on but he was forced to fight harder then he's used to & just couldn't keep up with Calzaghe. Sadly, regardless of what some people would like to think; If you're throwing more punches and landing more punches then your winning rounds. 15/60 punches is better then 5/30 no matter how you slice it.Comment

No, not some people. Everyone who saw the fight, compubox, the judges who scored it. I guess we're all blind, but the truth is what the truth is. Can you claim that B-Hop won more then just the first 4 rounds & the 10th? Had he been able to win 1 more round or gotten another kd then he'd have won on my scorecard, but doesn't change what happened or how the fight played out.

you say everyone who saw the fight but i just saw a poll that was nearly even. espn, yahoo, ap, bbc and more scored it for hopkins.it's just a fact that hopkins landed more punches than calzaghe in more of the rounds. you can go back and count. thus making it a fact. just because you think calzaghe is landing doesn't mean he actually is.Comment

No it's not a fact that Hopkins landed more punches then calzaghe, he was landing the more effective shots early on, but Calzaghe was still landing, and after the 4th round he was landing much more the Hopkins. I'm not arguing that it wasn't a close fight, as i said if Hopkins would have scored another kd or won another round on my card then he would have won, but it was too close of a fight to be considered a robbery and Hopkins just didn't do enough after the 4th round to take the fight IMHO.Comment

Did you count punches to the hips as that video did for Hopkins?Comment

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and the fight was close and could have gone one way or the other but B-Hop didn't do enough to win the fight in my opinion.Comment
