Question

What do u think of the big fight last weekend calzage v hoppkins?

Answer 1

Well, first I'll say that it was overhyped, but it was to be expected in a fight that involves Hopkins. Second, I thought Calzaghe rightfully deserved the win. I just thought Calzaghe out worked Hopkins. And I thought Hopkins robbed himself of golden opportunities to score when he would go into his clinching too early, which Teddy Atlas also mentioned, last night on Friday Night Fights.

Answer 2

Calzaghe easily won. He threw more punches and effectively backed up Hopkins. Calzaghe was smart in throwing the shorter, lighter, faster punches and treating the mobile Hopkins like a SPEEDBAG and not like a heavybag. Hopkins never got any punching rhythm going except for the occasional lead right hands that stopped working as the fight progressed. You could say that Hopkins should have won the fight but what really made the difference for me was Hopkin's blatant acting job on the two supposed low blows. This isn't the NBA! This is HBO PPV boxing, dangit! Hopkins clinched, stalled, held, leaned with his head, and did everything he could to buy time and try and disrupt Calzaghe. In the end, Calzaghe praised Hopkins, and Hopkins didn't reciprocate the respect. Like the 2 sides of any coin, Hopkins is great in being able to fight like a younger fighter, it's unfortunate that he acts like one, too.

It was still entertaining because you're watching two great boxers going at it.

Answer 3
