Now that's I've watch it sober - here's my Calz-Hop card - any comments?

OK,

I left for Mexico the morning after the fight, and I haven't had chance to comment on the result. I also like to watch a fight more than once before I start a thread. Yesterday I rewatched the fight closely with the sound off and scored it. I was drinking when I watched it the first time, and I came away thinking that Joe won clearly. I remember thinking the Lederman card was pretty good. With the sober second watching, I came to different conclusion - Joe won - barely - and there were enough swing rounds that I can see why Hopkins fans are pissed. I like Joe, but I'm not his biggest fan, and I appreciate Hopkins. In fact, I really paid attention to some of the inside fighting that is easy to miss drunk and easy to miss if you aren't a strong judge. Enough talking.

Here's my card. I'm noting all the rounds that I consider swing rounds.

H - C

1 10 8
2 10 9 (swing)
3 10 9
4 9 10 (swing)
5 10 9 (swing)
6 9 10 (swing)
7 10 9 (swing)
8 9 10
9 9 10
10 9 10 (swing)
11 9 10
12 9 10 (swing)

Hopkins 113 Calzaghe 114

Swing rounds won - Hopkins 3, Calzaghe 4.

That's a damn close fight. I think Hopkins gets penalized for fighting ugly and holding. I also think that other than the first rounds, even though Hopkins land more of the really meaningful punches, they didn't have much effect on Calzaghe. If Hopkins punchers were as effective as he claims, Calzaghe should have been getting weaker as the time went on and showing effects of the blows. Still, close, close fight. Calz got SD and that's about what he deserved, but he's didn't lose or get stuck with a draw.

Man i've watched many a fight tore up, just to see it the next day and realize, i'm pretty much watching it for the first time lol !!

I watched it pissed with a few mates after coming back from a wedding.

We all thought Hopkins had done enough to win.

To be honest I havn't watched it again sober as it was a pretty typical Hopkins snoozer so don't really care if he deserved to lose or not.

At the end of the day my impression was that Calzaghe came to fight and Hopkins came to steal the fight. He came mighty close and the knockdown was the most significant part of the fight by far but I don't he came forward once in the whole fight

Calzaghe at least was throwing punches and trying to win so I'm glad he got the decision.

As for Hopkins he can get together with old rival Winky and they can drown their sorrows at the bar and moan about all the robberies they have suffered.

Maybe Glen Johnson and Ike Quartey can join them and they can have a nice pity party.

I still don't remember Peter-Toney II. But that's another story.

I had it the opposite score for Hopkins, but like you said it was a very close fight.

Hopkins hasn't suffered half the robberies of Johnson, Quartey and Wright. Hopkins has arguably never lost decisively, well he's also arguably never been robbed. Johnson, Quartey and Wright definitely have. I thought Wright beat Hopkins.

Sober or not. My opinion of you don't change. You still a fukking idiot. Hopkins won the fight 115-112.

Hopkins ONLY won the fight 115-112 to someone that confused the white guy with the black guy. Fact.

No, Calzaghe won by that score. He was the white one.

Hopefully Calzaghe will have half a dozen more fights so that VD can continue to get it wrong then go into denial after every fight. :)

Not as much as you make us laugh at your reaction every time Calzaghe beats somebody you picked to beat him.

Didn't know you had a bad opinion of me. Don't forget, this isn't fanboy SEANIE. It's just funny to see, a normally intelligent and humorously abrasive poster turns into such a nuthugging fanboy when your man loses.

And considering how close fukkin 7 of the rounds were, seeing the fight 7-5 Cal instead of 7-5 Hopkins isn't such a big difference to call someone an idiot. You're being a nuthugging douche. If you admit it was only 115-112 Hopkins, that's all the evidence we need that it was probably a win for Calzaghe. I'll take your opinion seriously to you when you're talking about fighters who you don't want to blow.

thank the good lord you werent scoring holyfield-lewis II, you probably still would of had evander winning by 3-4 rounds.

At the time of the fight i like 95% of brits up at 3 in the morning were watching it with a complete undecisive view just hoping joe had done enough to win the fight, commentary teams on setanta and bbc radio both suggested hopkins was coming out on top and duke mckenzie even scored it 115-114 to hopkins at the end.

Ive since seen the fight sober twice over and both times ive had calzaghe 115-112

Only person in Las vegas who actually believed hopkins had won the fight was a female american judge - you couldnt make it up could you!!

Wow, and you even negative rep'd me for stating an opinion. You really are crying whinny little bitch. No wonder your like that excuse making, sore loser Hopkins so much. I guess the truth just fucking hurts. Does B-Hop give your a reach around when he's slipping it to you?

Oh shitt it's not? Ha! My bad, homie. I thought it was. No I guess you not an idiot. I owe some rep when I can.

I'll ignore the rest of your lame post. Your angry. It's understandable.

I had it 116-111 for Calslappy

this was a close fight, i've watched it twice since the night.......... i still cant see how they gave calzaghe 250 landed punches................... it was close, could have gone either way.

my thing is the judge who scored it 116-111 to calzaghe is the same judge who scored it 116-112 for mayweather against de la hoya........ sim fights opposite scores but both with wide margins.......... makes you thing that its a matter of who a judge likes that scores close rounds, if he's a fan, you get the nod, if he's not then the benefit of the doubt goes against you

WELL ANY FIGHT MCKENZIE SCORES,IM GOING THE OPPPOSITE WAY,HE PREDICTED LACY AGAINST JOE FOR CHRIST SAKE

and i gotta agree,its a clear UD to calzaghe even if it isnt one of his best performances,the SD was a joke!!

the americans were walking out by round 11,,what did they see that the internet avengers dont,my cousin was there,and like me has been a boxing fan for years,its a clearcut victory.

so what if he didnt look so good,does anyone against hopkins?

I still havn't met one person outside of these forums that had Calzaghe winning. My trainers, friends, everybody at my boxing gym and everybody at the gym where I work had it for Hopkins.
The version I downloaded was quite jumpy so it was hard to watch. I wanna watch it again. Can't make a proper decision otherwise.

I have watched the fight three times...and i still Hopkins should have won a close decision. It all comes down to who LANDED more punches overall and who LANDED cleaner/more effective punches. I think compubox is a complete joke...so please don't use it as proof of Calzaghe out landing Hopkins. Calzaghe could have thrown a million punches...but even after the third time watching this fight...most of his punches neither landed nor were effective. Sure, Hopkins tired out. Sure, Hopkins almost completely relied on one punch (straight right). And yes, he fought ugly towards the end. But that all being said...he landed more, cleaner punches. Joe sure looked busy...but most of his punches either missed or where pitter patter shots that weren't all that effective. American or British...could care less. And i have nothing personal against Joe...seems like a nice guy. I just think Calzaghe is a bit overrated and lost a close fight to a past prime Hopkins.

Get Joe's balls out your mouth and learn some boxing history.

I had the fight real close, there is arguments on both fighter's behalf but I'm glad Joe C got it.

Talking about being sober or not VD I remember that you had that jug of gin haha, you couldn't spell a word right :D

There were too many close rounds this too be a clear UD. If you look back at my scorecard, and you give all 3 of Hopkins closely won rounds to Joe, maybe you would see it as "a clear UD."

I give credit for body work, and Hopkins landed tons of body shots on the inside to go with those straight rights, and there were some rounds where Joe barely landed a clear punch.

Like I said, Calzaghe won, barely, and for those of you who think he won a wide UD, a la 116-111. 1g5a22, please post your scorecard. I would love to see how you pulled that score off. I bet it looks exactly like Lederman's (cuz you're taking his word for it), and we all know that he's half blind and for that reason credits volume punchers way too much.

Are you Preme or SEANNIE under a new name?

Sure, Hopkins almost completely relied on one punch (straight right). And yes, he fought ugly towards the end. But that all being said...he landed more, cleaner punches. Joe sure looked busy...but most of his punches either missed or where pitter patter shots that weren't all that effective. American or British...could care less. And i have nothing personal against Joe...seems like a nice guy. I just think Calzaghe is a bit overrated and lost a close fight to a past prime Hopkins.

Wow. That really hurts my feelings.

My 2 cents. I watched it twice, the first time with the sound muted so I couldn't hear the commentary. It was close, but I had Calzaghe winning. Later in the fight it seemed that Hopkins was just throwing one punch and then clinching. I had several rounds even, which seems to go against what most of the judges do in their scoring.

The last time I was actually drinking heavily and scored a fight it was Kelly Pavlik vs Jermain Taylor II.I actually remember the scores I had it
8-4 for Taylor.The next day I watched it again and said my god did I smoke anything while I was in my session.

thank the good lord you werent scoring holyfield-lewis II, you probably still would of had evander winning by 3-4 rounds.

At the time of the fight i like 95% of brits up at 3 in the morning were watching it with a complete undecisive view just hoping joe had done enough to win the fight, commentary teams on setanta and bbc radio both suggested hopkins was coming out on top and duke mckenzie even scored it 115-114 to hopkins at the end.

Ive since seen the fight sober twice over and both times ive had calzaghe 115-112

Only person in Las vegas who actually believed hopkins had won the fight was a female american judge - you couldnt make it up could you!!

WELL ANY FIGHT MCKENZIE SCORES,IM GOING THE OPPPOSITE WAY,HE PREDICTED LACY AGAINST JOE FOR CHRIST SAKE

and i gotta agree,its a clear UD to calzaghe even if it isnt one of his best performances,the SD was a joke!!

the americans were walking out by round 11,,what did they see that the internet avengers dont,my cousin was there,and like me has been a boxing fan for years,its a clearcut victory.

so what if he didnt look so good,does anyone against hopkins?

LMAO

poor dukey is beggining to get a reputation for going over the top with american boxers.

I distinctly remember driving home from work the night of the calzaghe-lacy fight and hearing him rant on about how jeff lacy would be in a different league and would probably force a late stoppage.

I'm surprised that no one has actually commented on the knockdown at the start.. I do agree that it would be classed as a knockdown, and Joe genuinally lossed is balance from the punch (squared his feet up), then he fell backwards because he was off balance..

I almost thought for a second though that the ref wasn't going to score it a knockdown, because although hopkins did land the good punch, he also pretty much pushed Joe over as soon as he realised Joe was off balance...
I may be remembering it totally wrong, but that was my genuine impression of it at the time..

If someone could post a youtube of it I would highly appreciate it so I can see if my first impressions were correct of Hopkins helping him onto his back with a little forward momentum

The version I downloaded was quite jumpy so it was hard to watch. I wanna watch it again. Can't make a proper decision otherwise.

u need to meet more people them,,,,iv watched it twice,and joe wins by UD everytime.

Welcome to the forum toolbag, I guess the only reason I need to meet more people is because of all of the people that I have discussed the fight with (and i've dicussed it with many - a lot of people in the boxing business too) none of them agree with your opinion? Good theory...:rolleyes:
Do one, shit for brains.
