rajputwarrior Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I know you don't care for Hopkins but I'm psyched for this fight! a good boxing fight is still a good boxing fight (and besides the chance of seeing hopkins lose is too good to pass up) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/626844-hopkins-vs-calzaghe/page/2/#findComment-589343735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted April 20, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 20, 2008 Calzaghe wins! by Split Decision!Thats crazy! but kudos to him for working hard but I really felt after the first round Hopkins had it! Yeah I was shaking for the first few rounds after Joe got caught. He was being very cautious and hardly throwing at all, and even when he was he seemed to be getting countered a lot. Then he started to kick in around round 5, and from then on it was his fight no question. Bernard caught him with the bigger punches, as he reminded us in his interview, but Joe had the combinations and the number, and that's what counts! He also showed he has a great chin, and a superb heart. It was a unanimous win for me. Joe earned that.

Dev Null Zen Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 All that hugging!! I kept waiting to see a kick or takedown....guess I have watched too much UFC to ever watch boxing again.

Shibby Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 First boxing match I've watched in ages. Tell you the truth I was rather anoyed with Hopkins, allways going for the hug and trying to regain some time by claiming low blow a few times.

As the rounds went on you can see that old father time was catching up with Hopkins so thats why he was doing it. Calzaghe is saying Roy Jones JR next...could be interesting.

digipoi Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 The fight turned out worse than I thought it would be. Hopkins just wasn't throwing enough and Calzaghe slaps/hits like a woman. I'd take Tarver over either one. Jones would be too fast for Cal. I don't think Jones killed anybody recently that has a pulse.
