Is Joe Calzaghe a Slapper?

[deliveryman]

Make no mistake, the vast majority of his shots against Lacy were slaps.

He cuffs with the palm side of the glove, a very dirty tactict in the ring. If the ref allows it then its all good though.

Remember, slapping is a foul. You just dont have to normaly warn the pros, it usually will be directed toward the amatuers.

No, slapping..... Turn the shots over! Boxing 050

Forgive my ignorance, but why is slapping a foul?

[Shanus]

I've never seen anybody fouled for slapping in the pro's.

Only backhands slaps.. (Naz.. ahem).

[Run]

Forgive my ignorance, but why is slapping a foul?

Because there is relatively no padding on the palm of a boxing glove.

Have you ever been cuffed with the side of a glove? Let me tell you that it hurts. Bare leather against a clenched fist and forearm, not to mention the laces possibly causing a cut.

When you are the one getting cuffed and slapped it certainly matters.

Joe is able to keep his guys on the defense with his slapping. There is no way that if Joe was throwing punches instead of slapping with them that he gets off as many shots in such a short span of time. This keeps guys on the defense.

Slapping is not legal in boxing, amatuer or pro. Joes a slapper!

Joe doesn't fight with the palm of his hand, he'd get penalized.

He lands shots with his knuckles.

Rewatch the lacy fight again. When Lacy would get to the inside with Joe he would just slap with each hand so vigorously, not turning any of the shots over.

Joe is a talented fighter, I have no doubts about that. But he does slap.
