And no, one good punch doesnt make up for the difference..nor does throwing a couple of clean punches every round..

Calzaghe outworked Hopkins and won a close fight. I though Calzaghe edged it, but Hopkins landed by far the harder, cleaner punches. He just didn't land enough of them.

Precisely. I think the difference was after the 3rd rounds jc put his left up more and timed hopkins movement much better...add to that the fact that granpa was tiring..

Also he started to punch more...

[Dizaster]

add in that one is pressing the fight, one is tieing it up, even those punch stats being completely equal, you have that it Joe's favour also..

Hopkins did land some very good punches though.. By far he had at least the 10 nicest punches of the fight.

Hopkins had the best punch of the night, the knock down.

BUT FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!! DID YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE THE HOOK THAT CAME IN AND ROCKED BHOP IN EITHER THE 10TH OR 11TH WHERE HE HAD TO CLINCH TO SURVIVE

WAS I WATCHING A DIFFERENT FIGHT?

It sickens me this whole 'calzaghe didnt throw good punches' comments... LOOK AT ROUNDS 10 AND 11...HOPKINS WAS ROCKED!!! HOW CAN YOU SAY THEY WERENT GOOD PUNCHES THAT DIDNT DAMAGE HOPKINS?

Its like it has to be spelled out over and over again, just look at those rounds please!

no, you were not...it's just that some people choose to close their eyes when their favourite fighter gets hit...the guy gave 6 rounds to hopkins I mean 6! where and how did he get these 6 rounds I have no idea..

Those punch stats don't tell the whole story the first 4 rounds Hopkins won IMO and maybe Calzaghe did land few more punches in some rounds but Hopkins still landed more effective blows of the rounds he won, just say for instance in the rounds Calzaghe won he landed 20 more punches than Hopkins in those rounds, but in the rounds he lost he landed a few more punches than Hopkins, but Hopkins landed the much more effective blows ?? punch stats can be misleading and they are in this case as well.

This must be where you gewt your 114,113 to hopkins card from then, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE 4TH ROUND, YOULL SEE CALZAGHE WON IT QUITE CONVINGLY!

That then makes your score different...PLEASE LOOK AT IT AGAIN!

Nope, but if you hit them with a hard hook and they are rocked and about to take more punches and go to floor but they grab hold of you and clinch...that is indeed a very hard power shot.

WATCH ROUND 10 AGAIN

Incidently, you are doing exactly what i predicted youd do in the last thread i made up about the 'haters'...remember that thread?

You instantly went with hopkins...suprise suprise everything i said is true about you.

Id have so much more respect if you actually said 'fair enough, joe proved he is the real deal, i dont like his style but have to give him credit, he adapted his game and took out bhop in vegas, not an easy thing to do'.

Anyone who says that gets my respect.

I have no respect for people who continuously spew hate from their mouth.

If the name was taylor, pavlik, jones, wright that beat hopkins with that performance then there would be no hate, but cos the name is 'calzaghe' the haters are out in force.

EXACTLY HOW I PREDICTED, remember mate

What are you talking about Fenster ?? have i not said in the past that Compubox are misleading ?? did i not say that Spinks landed more than Holmes in there rematch by punch stats ?? but that was one of the biggest robberies of all time.

OK.. good for you Ice.

A few months back I didn't know, for certain, whether i got it through to you that punch stats are unreliable and can be very misleading
