Round 6: Calzaghe...

 

I gotta give that round to nard again. His right hand to the body lands everytime.

 

I don't understand the scoring of the fight anyway...

for it to be even, Calzaghe has to have won rounds 2 3 and one other round if bernard has won 2 rounds... so, unless
Bernard is losing, the other rounds pretty good, bernard has to be WINNING the fight...


I don't get it...

 

Though not near as exciting, this reminds me of casaymoyer-katsidis

 

calzaghe would be lucky if the judges have given him more than 2 rounds @ this point.

 

then, Royjonespfp says one thing (Bernard is killing him) and Illuminati) says the exact opposite (Calzaghe is winning)

What's the real deal???

Round 7: Calzaghe

 

Calligula II,


Who do YOU think is winning the fight???

(including the knock down)

 

Calzaghe has won the last three rounds IMO.

 

Calzaghe is winning now..but it's still close...and Hopkins almost drop him again....

 

Hops landed all the clean punches in that round again. Calz was hurt at the end too.

 

r7
clean left by calz

nice r by hop, nothard
nice left by calz on a 1 2

Stop listening to Max Kellerman.

 

Certain guys on here have their scorecards filled out before the fight even begins. HBO has it 66-66.

Round 8: Hopkins

 

I think Calzaghe has come back into the fight, but I think he might be caught and taken out. He is wide open to be countered

 

no friggin way hopkins won that rd
r8
real nice left by calz
hop answers next exchange
calz outworking him
nice r by hop, but not too clean
calz fakes an uppercut
calz is just too busy although bernard had some moments
closer rd..still calz
78-74 i think

 

see, then Royjones pfp gives the round to Hopkins


everyone else says it's calzaghe's round

but everyone admits calzaghe was hurt in that round...

which lets me think HOPKINS won the round and not just because of the one shot... (which is what Royjonespfp is saying)...

with all that said.. thanks fellas... you're making it interesting!!!

 

Round 7..Hopkins landed ONE PUNCH....yet he only threw about 2 of them...and that ONE was very good...

 

If Hopkins was agile (& young) enough to throw in some good faints he'd really be in control...looks like he's getting tired though.

 

Im not listening to anybody. Im just telling the truth. Calzaghe isn't landing much effective at all.

 

Calzaghe 76-75 is what I have right now. He wont lose more than one more rounds IMO.
