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
More like.. Hopkins throws 10 and lands 4, and joe throws 50 and lands 4.

If they both land the same ammount, judges will still favor joe for his workrate.
Alot of people score fights on clean punches not on missed BS.
THOSE people are the ones who have hopkins winning.
But Hopkins hardly through any punches after round 4, never mind land any
and i agree, completely. I actually didnt see him take his break until round 5 though, and he fought a few healthy rounds later on while tiring.

Some rounds joe hardly landed at all, just hit hopkins on his back and arms and alot of those were slipped by bernard aswell. I dont know.. when i judge fights, i personally look at all facets of the game.

Defense, offense, the whole nine. If hopkins lands 3 punches and then proceeds to make the other person look like an amateur with his defense, he should be rewarded for his defense aswell. NOT just the 3 punches he landed.

Thats my oppinion though, i just fights on every aspect.
