I'd like the Calzaghe victory to be the final chapter.

[bikersk]

The rules of the sport are clear. 1 clean punch scores 1 point. 1 hard punch doesn't score more.

What gap ?? Calzaghe was throwing more but a lot of his punches were landing on the arms and gloves, where as Hopkins punches were much more effective and cleaner, Calzaghe never really landed a solid shot on Hopkins except some straight lefts later in the fight.

That gap!

Donny that was poorly copy and pasted i can't make that out bro, and secondly why are you using punch stats which by the looks of it you are. Why don't you just go with your own opinion and actually look back and watch how many of Calzaghe's punches missed, Calzaghe never really landed a solid hurtful shot on Hopkins until the later rounds, punch stats are very mis leading in some cases.

I repaired the punch stats.

And I am going by my own opinion.
A solid powershot may be worth mnore than a certain amount of lightly landing punches, but they cannot compensate for a complete lack of activity and volume.

That is not an opinion. That is a fact.

Calzaghe missed with nearly as many punches as Hopkins threw.
He landed more than Hopkins did.

When Hopkins threw most of the time he was landing, i couldn't care less what the punch stats say i looked back at the exchanges in slow motion and Hopkins punches were much more effective. Mayweather in the ODLH fight was only throwing 35 punches a round yet he still won clear cut, by making his punches count then he threw and thats what its all about, its no good throwing 90 punches a round if hardly any of them are effective IMO anyway.

Exactly. Calzaghe was always the busier man and landing more. And his punches were becoming more significant as the fight wore on. Hopkins wasnt doing much towards the end.

Ice, you've all too often quoted compubox and advocated it's use.
Yet you turn around and come out wityh that?

Mayweather's performances cannot be compared to Hopkins.
Bernard was looking for a singhle shot and it would have been impressive had he stopped Calzaghe in that fashion.
Mayweather makes the opponent resepect his power by throwing in combination. Those are two things Bernard failed to do.
Ypu cannot say that Calzaghe respected Bernards power or was afraid of getting stopped when he was the aggresive fighter all night.

If landing less-telling punches meant that fighters would not be scored rounds, then fighters like Malignaggi, Williams and even the great Pernell Whittaker wouldn't be succesful at all.

True.
Bernard was tired at the end and used the last low blow to grab a break.

The only time i've ever used punchstats is for the ODLH vs Mayweather fight, and even those stats aren't completely accurate either. Im not turning anything around the fact is Hopkins landed the cleaner more effective blows, in some of those rounds according to punchstats Calzaghe out landed Hopkins by 9 or 10 punches, for example in the 10th round according to the stats Hopkins landed 13 punches, where as Calzaghe landed 23 punches, now out of those 13 punches they were all clean effective punches, where as Calzaghe's 23 punches were mostly pitter patter, im actually glad now you gave me the punch stats because you have actually helped my argument, i scored the 10th round for Hopkins, the 8th round for Hopkins, Hopkins landed 15 punches in the 8th round, where as Calzaghe landed 22, now again 15 of Hopkins punches were effective where as Calzaghe's 22 punches were mostly pitter patter, I also scored all the first 4 rounds for Hopkins based on his punches being more effective. The punchstats in those rounds aren't one sided at all when you take into account how many of Hopkins punches were solid effective punches, where as Calzaghe was mostly landing pitter patter. Again Donny your missing the point i never compared Mayweather to Hopkins in that way, what i meant is that Hopkins out put was low like Mayweather's but when he threw he made his punches count.

Amat has said plenty of times he don't like Calzaghe. He don't count.

Taeth i'll give you. I think he was a Calzaghe hater that turned into a liker so don't really count but still...

You don't count, Ice. You're a Calzaghe hater even though you pretend not to be.. admit it.

To be honest Fenster i couldn't careless if you believe me or not, i know i bought Calzaghe career set. And i have been following Calzaghe for many years, just because i think Hopkins won doesn't make me a hater, it means i have a different opinion end of.

[Deanrw]

The rules of the sport are clear. 1 clean punch scores 1 point. 1 hard punch doesn't score more.

That is true with Amateur Scoring but not with professional scoring. Professional scoring is more open to interpretation. One good punch can equal an X amount punches of less quality.


That being said, I thought Joe did enough to win Saturday.
