Hopkins - Calzaghe: Who really won?

[1g5a22]

i really dont get all the contoversy,,,,,,,,,

iv been following the fight game for years and i like to think i have clear judgement,and for me calzaghe won that fight easily,,

it was not an SD at all,it was a clear UD to calzaghe,iv watched it twice and i was right the first time,joe outpointed him,yes it wasnt a great performance by usual his standards but he got the job done

ledderman,foreman,the two judges etc had it like i did,a UD!

next,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Apart from the odd obliviant hopkin fan or calzaghe hater i think the large majority also accept there was nothing controversial about calzaghe winning the fight when most of us scored it in his favour.

Of course b-hops shots had more of an effect than JC`s, its much easier to hit someone whos coming forward and throwing their own weight about rather than a guy who specialises in cagey defense and just waits for his opponent to over commit before striking with any real intent.

But the facts dont lie, JC threw a hell of a lot more punches, landed loads more than hopkins and was the agressor from round 4 onwards.

As said already to score that fight to hopkins you have to be either incredibly naive or a female judge employed by the nevada state commission!!

u my friend just about sum it up,,good post.

Thanks for posting your opinions guys, really appreciate it. My only real view of the fight so far, had come from last weeks Boxing News which depicted the fight as a real close one that could of gone either way but the decision was justified by the fact that a Clazaghe win was better for the future of boxing

I dont care about wins that are better for the future of boxing. I just want to know who really won

Once again guys, thanks. Reps all round but seriously, if theres a place i can download the fight id be pretty much made up

Calzaghe won by a round or two, a draw wouldn't have been out of the question.

It's a tough fight to score and a UD is absolutly plausable depending on what you look for... But all Judges see fights differently so I'd have to be an absolutly one sided fight to be a UD with these two guys in the ring...

and just for the record, when you said, "It wasn't a great performance by his usual standards"... Thats cuz nobody can put on a great performance against Hopkins...

If you're gonna win... You're gonna win ugly.

Respect to Joe, though!
