Anyone Want To Doubt Joe Calzaghe Again??

Hopkins won the fight IMO and he also got exposed for his lack of defense.

Just because you were saying Hopkins would win doesnt make you blind to the obvious fact that Calzaghe won......talking to the ray charles above

Im not a big fan of either man and i wern't really picking either man to win i was 50-50 on the fight. Hopkins landed the cleaner better blows and won the first 4 rounds clearly IMO and plus lets not forget the 10-8 round, then he won another 2 rounds making it 114-113 to Hopkins.

I can't remember the exact rounds but Hopkins for certain won the first 4 rounds IMO, he then won the 11th, and he also won the round where he stunned Calzaghe at the end of the round. You can easily have Hopkins winning 6 rounds.

First of all no he didn't clearly win the first 4 rounds...The second was a draw at best..the fourth was definitely a Calzaghe round as also mentioned by all commentators as a turning round of the fight.

So a punch at the end that pushes Jc back wins a round? after having been taking combinations throughout it?

And noway did hopkins win the 11th..the guy was tiring all thru the later rounds...

He took 5 mins...i mean a full 5 mins faking a low blow...pathetic really

Icb then according to your logic paulie should never win a fight cause even his power shots are slaps. I honestly saw calzaghe outhustle hop and beat him at his own dam game at times, I think I even saw frustration in b hop in the 10th round or so. So calzaghe throws 5 and say lands 2 solid, thats still more than bhops 1 for 2. On the inside cal was doin the same shit with his head that b hop does, I just saw cal as the all around better fighter and 116-111 honestly seemed pretty reasonable. Oh and I'm not welsh or anything before I'm accused of bias, ha

No way Hopkins was even close to winning that. I distinctly remember you picking Hopkins by decision right before the fight too.

No i didn't i said Hopkins by controversial decision, and i also said Calzaghe by decision as well. I changed my mind on the fight plenty of times i didn't favor any boxer. But i seem to remember you saying Calzaghe would dominate this fight and didn't i tell you it would comeback to haunt you ??

I fixed my original posting. But your final call was indeed a decision by Hopkins. But true you were back and forth on it.

To be honest it was the flash knockdown that stopped Calzaghe winning by a large margin. Two points down after the first and being too cautious in the first four did mean it wasnt a completely dominant performance. The knockdown made him cautious and hesitant for a few rounds.

I dont think it was a particularly close fight though nor one that ended up all that difficult to score. Calzaghe was beginning to dominate down the stretch. That was obvious. He was fresh and coming on more and more. Hopkins wasnt doing very much at all.

This is not the first time he goes back on his picks. I don't know why you're surprised. I am glad you called him out on it though.

ICB just believes what he hears people say. His posts hold no weight.

You just owned yourself because Miles agreed with me in the other thread, I said "Hopkins by controversial decision" thats exactly word for word what i said and if you don't believe me, go onto Hopkins vs Calzaghe prediction thread. Meaning that i thought Calzaghe would win 7-5 or etc, but i didn't believe he would get the decision in USA thats why i said "Hopkins by controversial decision" . You already avoided my replies in your ridiculous thread you made yesterday, and for 100 percent your avoid this reply as well because your have no answer like always.

[BoomBoom]

Even though I think Calzaghe won, I was more impressed with Hopkins. He is one of the most crafty and skilled fighters of all time. I think the playing out the low blows was because he knew it was a close fight and he wanted Cortez to take a point from Joe. Even though he lost, he was as dirty as ever and as brilliant as ever.

[armin]

So because b hop hurt cal on two occasions he should have won the fight....right. There is now way you can win a fight only landing half as much as your opponent doesn't matter if they're harder shots or not really.
