Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe I and result of a hypothetical rematch

[FinitoElDinamita]

I forget the score but I had Calzaghe clearly winning. I dont why some fans make it out to be some contoversial decision but I dont think it was at all. Hopkins has nobody to blame but himself for giving up the early rounds similiar to what happened in the first taylor fight.



Calzaghe's style is all wrong for Nard and same thing would happen in a rematch.

[outspoken]

I scored the fight for Hopkins by 2 rounds I believe.. I based it mostly on EFFECTIVE punching. Joe's slapping didn't do it for me sorry guys..
I feel Hopkins will beat him even worse on the rematch and hopefully get the decision.

Hopkins was the one that started better , it was calzaghe that took 4-5 rounds to get into the fight

scored it 114-113 hopkins

[CFH]

114-113 Hopkins with the knock down as the deciding factor. Any time he actually threw any punches, Hopkins won the round. I don't think Calzaghe landed more than three clean shots all night.

You are right. My memories of this fight was hazy so I just got done watching it again and it was hops who started early with Calzaghe coming on in the mid rounds.

But ultimately, it was hops's lack of punch output that cost him the fight which isnt the first time that's happened to him.
