IF CALZAGHE LOST, WHY??? (That's for anyone who believes Joe to have lost that is)

[:::PSL:::]

Good win by Calzaghe...


Good but not great.

I think Calzaghe underestimated Hopkins and didnt work out a game plan before hand. I think Calzaghe won it was close. Its the worst i had seen Calzaghe he wasnt fighting mid-range just flying foward and getting tied up.

If Pavlik can keep his fight at mid-range he will beat Hopkins if he jusy bores foward he will get tied up.

Calzaghe was rarely landing clean shots. He'd throw a lot of punches in a flurry and they'd hit air or Hopkins's arms and shoulders. Hopkins landed more clean shots. That's the best argument for Hopkins winning. A simple and clear one.

Of course, Hopkins wasn't landing too many either. It was an ugly fight, not the easiest to score. More of a case of preference on which style you preferred.

I didn't really have much of a problem with the decision, but it WAS a close fight.

i thought joe lost and so did his and his daddy. hopkins landed the more effective punches even dropped him. and jermaine taylor put up a better fight than calzaghe and they still gave joe the decision that really pissed me off to see a guy get a title that he didnt deserve, atleast taylor didnt slap his way to victory.

In my opinion Calzaghe's win over Hopkins was more convincing than Taylor's 2 wins over Bernard, i can agree if you think otherwise.
