Now that's I've watch it sober - here's my Calz-Hop card - any comments?

Calzaghe and his groupies. They do make me laugh.

thank the good lord you werent scoring holyfield-lewis II, you probably still would of had evander winning by 3-4 rounds.

At the time of the fight i like 95% of brits up at 3 in the morning were watching it with a complete undecisive view just hoping joe had done enough to win the fight, commentary teams on setanta and bbc radio both suggested hopkins was coming out on top and duke mckenzie even scored it 115-114 to hopkins at the end.

Ive since seen the fight sober twice over and both times ive had calzaghe 115-112

Only person in Las vegas who actually believed hopkins had won the fight was a female american judge - you couldnt make it up could you!!

WELL ANY FIGHT MCKENZIE SCORES,IM GOING THE OPPPOSITE WAY,HE PREDICTED LACY AGAINST JOE FOR CHRIST SAKE

and i gotta agree,its a clear UD to calzaghe even if it isnt one of his best performances,the SD was a joke!!

the americans were walking out by round 11,,what did they see that the internet avengers dont,my cousin was there,and like me has been a boxing fan for years,its a clearcut victory.

so what if he didnt look so good,does anyone against hopkins?

LMAO

poor dukey is beggining to get a reputation for going over the top with american boxers.

I distinctly remember driving home from work the night of the calzaghe-lacy fight and hearing him rant on about how jeff lacy would be in a different league and would probably force a late stoppage.

I'm surprised that no one has actually commented on the knockdown at the start.. I do agree that it would be classed as a knockdown, and Joe genuinally lossed is balance from the punch (squared his feet up), then he fell backwards because he was off balance..

I almost thought for a second though that the ref wasn't going to score it a knockdown, because although hopkins did land the good punch, he also pretty much pushed Joe over as soon as he realised Joe was off balance...
I may be remembering it totally wrong, but that was my genuine impression of it at the time..

If someone could post a youtube of it I would highly appreciate it so I can see if my first impressions were correct of Hopkins helping him onto his back with a little forward momentum

I still havn't met one person outside of these forums that had Calzaghe winning. My trainers, friends, everybody at my boxing gym and everybody at the gym where I work had it for Hopkins.
The version I downloaded was quite jumpy so it was hard to watch. I wanna watch it again. Can't make a proper decision otherwise.

u need to meet more people them,,,,iv watched it twice,and joe wins by UD everytime.

Welcome to the forum toolbag, I guess the only reason I need to meet more people is because of all of the people that I have discussed the fight with (and i've dicussed it with many - a lot of people in the boxing business too) none of them agree with your opinion? Good theory...
Do one, shit for brains.
