Yep joe has a great work rate,I think jow won it clear,its like this hopkins landed cleaner shots and was more accurate but he got hit more than calzage.
Its like try to say hopkins threw 5 punches landed 4 and joe threw 20 and landed 14, no matter how accurate and clever hopkins was he still got hit more and the science of boxing is not to get hit simple
