Hopkins Won In My Eyes

[superheavyrhun]

Hopkins won that if Calzaghe won he wouldn't have been so shocked even Barry and steve in the setanta studio would have been lively they were a bit shell shocked all you Calzaghe fans know deep down he lost.

Why on earth would Calzaghe fans think he lost. He ticked all the boxes for a points victory. He threw more punches than his opponent, he landed more punches than his opponent, he was more aggressive, he was the victim of being tied up in clinches almost exclusively, he didn't tire down the stretch and become lazier as Hopkins did.

The only thing that kept Hopkins in the fight was one good punch in the first round giving him an early advantage. To be honest, you're not putting forward any facts to back up your statements, so quite clearly you're the one who believes deep down that his boy lost. And everybody else don't have to go deep down to believe it.

Yes. Plus it definitely slowed Calzaghe for the first three rounds, he didn't really get going till round four. But that makes his victory all the more great. Making your Vegas debut, getting knocked down in the first minute of the first round, then getting butted fouled and cheated for twelve rounds and a biased referee and Calzaghe still won.

Hopkins won in my eyes Calzaghe didn't do enough to take it

I had Calzaghe up by 4 rounds....Calzaghe took the fight to Hopkins and besides the knockdown Joe took control of the fight and beat up Hopkins who only landed an occasional right cross after that.


I am happy Joe won after the bullcrap Hopkins pulled with the low blows

Well I thank God that your Monkey azz was not one of the judges.


B-HOP Talked all that shiet and did nothing. He got lucky with a flash knocked down. He should have went to war and maybe he would have won.
I saw B-POP running most of the night and hold half the other part of the night

Or was he? Wasn't there a judge who scored it for Hopkins?

Props to Calzaghe, he adapted and clearly won. I had it 115-112 for Joe. Hopkins looked his age, but take nothing away from Joe, he was the better fighter.

Hopkins looked tired and wanted out of the fight kind of.

The worst thing that happened for B-hop was knocking Joe down with that right in the 1st round, he spent the rest of the fight looking for the same punch, but Joe adapted and never gave it to him.

Hopkins had never been a favorite of mine, but he dropped a couple notches tonight. He got beat.

Joe impressed me with his smarts and actually it looked like he got in Bernards head a little by the end. very fun fight to watch. I watch most of the fights with guys who have boxed and its almost uncanny how they see things. A couple called a right hand KD for bernard as soon as the fight started based on the way Joe was coming in. But Joe adjusted accordingly and won the fight.

Props to Joe! Tough fight to win and he out thought a master. I was way more impressed with his smarts than his skills.

Bewrnard should retire.

He won the dirtiest fighter of the decade all right.

Hopkins landed the cleaner shots. Calzaghe fights like a kitten and could not hurt Hopkins. Hopkins hurt Calzaghe on the other hand.

I am not sure either fighter was hurt too bad...Calzaghe did go down and he did take some big shots but he was never wobbled or visibly in trouble at any point in time.


Hopkins caught some solid shots from Joe as well....I think the thing with Joe's power is that it's not thudding, it's more like Floyd Mayweather's it's quick and accurate BUT he throws a lot more and therefore it's speed and accumulation of punishment that does a fighter in vs Joe and not just one huge shot like Hopkins does (on occasion) usually he sets up his punches via combinations.

Yes Calzaghe was wobbled Lyle i can't remember exactly what round but Calzaghe almost went down right at the end of the round.

all you Hopkins fans I feel for ya but to say he won is just absurd.Come on landed the cleaner punches maybe 1 of 5 punches landed in a round for Hopkins.Yes it was harder but Joe would answer with 5 "slaps" to hopkins 1 in the rounds.As far as the foul I knew exactly what happened to Bernard it actually happened to me not long ago his cup pinched his balls and boy I'll tell ya you feel that all the way down to your toes,but I never fell to the ground,got up delayed the fight for a minute or two from just a brush of the cup.I mean my god man I was punched in the balls not touched.

Bernard talks probably the best fight in the world but when it comes to he always reverts back to 1 punch and hold,1 punch and hold.At the end of the night he didn't get dazed or knocked down and he will always say he won the fight.Hopkins is a crafty old man but get serious Joe threw more landed more and was always on the attack.Get past the so called "defensive geniusness"(if that's a word) and watch the fight.

So if a fighter lands 10 solid shots in a round and the other guy lands 25 pitter patter shots, you would score it for the guy that landed 25 pitter patter shots ??
