calzaghe v hopkins

[porkypara]

time and again i read how close and controvesial that decision was

close? calzaghe landed 27 times as many punches as hopkins

ok maybe you pick the best 3 punches of the fight and they would all be hopkins but those were the only 3 punches he landed

calzaghe had a bad start and hopkins may have even won the first 4, after that it was clear calzaghi all the way

the only thing controversial about it was that it was a spilt decision and not unanimous

Good points!

The fact that Hopkins was alowed to slow the fight down with all his play acting was disgusting.

I dont understand how 1 judge even gave it to Hopkins.

This one has been done plenty of times. I have always thought Calzaghe did more than enough to get the win. A bad start, but he turned it around. Hopkins seemed to be worn out by the half way mark.

It's not a fight I enjoy watching, quite boring in fact. A lot of spoiling from Hopkins. I am expecting a bit more of that this weekend, but hopefully Pacal has the pop to put a dent in a much older Hopkins.
