Well when Joe is able to throw more flurries he's more effective...he just got in too close to B-Hop and Hopkins was abloe to clinch and slow down the fight.

Both fought strategically tough fights and tried to use everything to their advantage. Hopkins slowing the pace allowing for an ugly fight and Calzaghe throwing more punches trying to keep his hands free....they were both successful at times but I think Joe won the fight fair and square.


I think RJJ is happy he won't have to fight Hopkins because IMO RJJ is too old to deal with Hopkins' style and those right crosses and headbutts would be the end of Ol' Roy
