Joe Calzaghe Shows Quick Hands

[TrippleNipple72]

Look at all the other double-end bag videos on here with people pitter-pattering, then see how Calzaghe can hit it every time with range and power. Maybe not full power but enough to back say, 46 other boxers off. If he really was a 'slapper', how come no-one ever steamrollered him if he couldn't hurt them?

[Warbintonz]

joe cal-slappy.

this is all very well for show, but this isnt the case in the ring. hats off to him tho for being the worlds fastest slapper.

[jigglyfidda125]

Calzaghe declined a fight offer from Chad Dawson, is it because Chad is in his prime?

[MrBbuds]

@jigglyfidda125 Oh come on... Chad Dawson would have been annihilated. Ffs don't be daft, Joe probably didn't want to get done for murder.

[TheDice2008]

If you can knock em out quick..you can go home early..and still catch The Super Bowl.

[zankwack]

You would love the speed tracker look at the video on youtube.

[loyaltytono1]

I think there is no one that can stop Joe calzaghe i mean he is a punch machine he can throw more than 2,500 punches in 3 mins.

[irishrover1967]

man i love working on the double end speedbag it is what i like to do most in the gym it really helps with your timing and acuraccy also moved when you keep moving around the bag

[scourge007]

Yes. I love the double end bag as well most. Great way to practice hitting quickly and eluding the incoming through head movement.

[prettyboygonya]

pitter pat doesn't equal power

[poopshoot106]

my sister slaps harder than him

[koolboi352]

joe all he does is slap most of the time and pple call this quick hands?? i saw RJ hit the same thing 30-40 times in 3secs.

[BLAGASPANTS]

Yeah and we seen Joe hit Roy 30-40 times a round.  HA HA

[FriscoRider]

the late sugar ray robinson could beat him

[shamrock929292]

speed yes power no

[Carriecw81]

arther aberham next

[whenevero]

slapper

[slickmick07]

tht to me doesnt prove his power, but if there slaps then why do these fighters curl into little balls in the corner of the ring when he starts swinging im sorry to have to put usa straight but there not slaps my friends there bombs

[sloppyoscar]

Joe is a great fighter but he's a boxer, not a bomb thrower. He will win on points or late round stoppage against top boxers. Bombs are thrown by heavyweights -- Tyson, Foreman, Marciano -- they threw bombs

[wezbb]

listen pal, boxin aint all about knocking em out joe prooves that

watch and learn kidda

[monkey3722866]

hitting that thing more than once is hard lol

[Lollerskates2k7]

lol think id miss that thing everytime

[underpantswedgy]

Floor to ceiling ball is all about timing and reflex speed!

[boefe]

people must remember joe has broken his hands a lot thats hurt his ability to ko fighters

a boer with brilliant ability who fought the best to late for me

[RNBJ22]

great job on roy jones fight calzaghe

[SmartFist]

a double-end bag is not easy to hit for so long...gotta love the sweet science.

[laurarob12345]

he is the best i love him

[Roberiddle]

with hopkins busting his ass

[thephantompooer]

funny comment :)

[philthepowertaylor13]

legend

[sirnathan]

A slapper with a 71% KO/TKO rating. He may not always turn his punches over, but he'd slap you like your hard hittin mama never dreamed.

[mallon569]

takes a lot of time and effort to even be able to keep it going for that length of time......buy one or go down to your local boxing gym.....try it out.....you'll look an absolute tit...missing most of your shots.....no power involved idiots

(backing up crespo's point)

[Birdy75don]

your only saying that cos your guys got whooped by calzaghe to easy

[sean160393]

ye wa 2121crespo said, that got nuffin to do with power, it on elastic so it obv gonna move that much, but still calzaghe great fighter

[fatboi99]

lol, although i dont really agree, thats a funny joke.

[crazysif]

Sweat science. Pure sweat science.

[mjrose07]

I missed it 2 lol....You can't miss roy jones power punches though

[liverpool80000seater]

calzaghe v jones come on

[Ian88Southall]

Well hes gotta be packin some sorta power cause how many times has he managaed to brake his hand THROUGH boxing gloves now?

[theconqueror]

that doesnt show power, that is speed and accuracy, now lets see him break a coconut with his fist thats power hah

[dave23486]

superb quality skill

[blumhrrda]

U really have 2 see roy jones jr on these punch ball things, its sooo fast. Calzaghe is a legend!!

[juju10683]

Roy Jones is SICK on the double end bag.

[CozmicAttack012]

its a shame he could only slap when it came down to it, he didnt land one single decent punch.....

[bandamardu]

well actually he did them punches are fast and he forms his fist in a different way

[concordecatcher]

forms his fist in a different way??

what kind of bullshit thing to say is that??

lol

[MongoFett]

we need to see a training video of b-hop grabbing hold of the bag and trying to put his nut to it. clinch and headbutt all day! better luck next time hoppy. Calzghe and Kelly Pavlik next hopefully.

[merlin999999]

a master of distance and timing - genius

[metalasfux]

you know whats funny i didnt see any of this in the fight i just saw a lot of bitch slapping thats all o and calzaghe get dropped in a minute that too

[JGod101]

you know whats funny is that bitch slapping caused bernard not to want to go inside, must have a good pimp hand ma friend

[DJDanius]

why is it ok for blacks to call us white boys but if we said " no way a black gonna beat calzaghe" there would be absolute global uproar over racism?

[obsequeious]

Reparations for centuries of oppression. Apparently it's ok to make racist remarks about white people as long as it sells tabloid rags and fight tickets.

Then again you are questioning the morality of a guy who was sentenced to 18 years in jail for 9 felonies. He's hardly a poster-boy for modern black society, oh wait...

[signcraft]

YOURE SO RIGHT

[aughtonparktrading]

im glad calzaghe won like....but anyone can make the floor to cieling bag move like that

[MainstreamDesi]

i would like to see amir khan fight him !!!

[kraze2kai7]

he wud destroy khan u idiot, and their 2 different weight classes

[Aleus247]

yeah, coz punching a speed ball really shows how strong u are..

[clay0101]

it is easy to hit the crazy bag when you are hitting it with open hand strikes

[rmacecil]

this guy cant beat a good benard at nohting he has no defense and one thing for sure theres no way a little white boy from across the water going to beat Bhop

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

What was that? Huh?......

[an1792]

it showed how fast his hands are:)

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

Did someone say something?...sorry?....

[mcmattyc]

wel he did

[sparcum]

Calzaghe all the way.

[mmoloco]

lol i could of swore i heard that smacking sound when joe didnt connect

[TheAtraxRobustus]

Cant wait till he fights mundine..if it ever happens!

[bradio3000]

Bhop will teach Joe a thing or two about boxing, bet. Joe has not faced anyone in Hopkins league yet. Not even close. After that Joe can get beat by New Haven Connecticuts own Chad Dawson.

[mcmattyc]

rong hebeat him

[foripu]

that double end bag doesnt show power it shows speed and accurracy, joe will when on points.

[arrowbyname]

lol well done mate u got it exactly right

[mancunian1234]

Hopkins is gonna get a 12rd shellacking because he`s an old man.Joe will beat him up.

[IronMongol]

He does show speed and coordination.

But how can you say he is showing power?

Double end back is not for power.

[psaghafi]

Great hand/eye coordination.

[wendalwilsonrhoads]

for anybody that says joe slaps look at his record. hes got the same amount of kos as bhop but has had less fights. i think joe will win but it wont be easy

[clay0101]

then he has some ko power with his slaps

[aminkobrakhan86]

CHRISSC45 and when was the last time hopkins knocked a man out and looked like stopping him??dont say tarver because it didnt look like he was go stop him he jus dropped him (flash knockdown) calzaghe hand speed will be enough along with his work rate trust me

[bazman85]

hopkins is gonna get retired, 100%

[chrisSC45]

Hopkins said a great thing about Calzaghe punching: "But let me ask you something, all they say is 1000 punches a round but they never say anything else about those punches."

Calzaghe aint no banger

[JDHyatt1989]

31 KO's says differently

[tkoharris]

calzaghe slaps he does not throw punches get threw yall head fake wanna be roy jones but yea he will beat hopkins cause he throws more but yall get hype talking about his hand apeed he fought bums that had a little name

[bigmac1282]

shut up u tit he is a gr8 british boxer cant u handle a british boxer bein at the top! u say hes not faught any1, no 1 in his weight class has the chance to make a name for them self coz he has stopped them... fact...

[mancunian1234]

He certainly WASN`T slapping there.I think you need a good optician.

[K1S10]

thats a floor-to-celing ball, which doesnt demonstate power or train it. Its main purpose is for speed

[nxdobie]

Calzaghe demonstrates great hand eye coordination, speed and fluency in this video; his power can't easily be displayed on the double end bag

[lmjames33]

exactly!!!!!people get hung up on how training looks. It means nothing until you get that ass in the ring.

[williejoyce1]

calzaghe is the best

[lmjames33]

Why? Not saying he is not good but what makes him the best? The best means beating the best. Who has he beat that was the best

? or even close? Don't be mislead by training vids. Big difference when someone is punching back. They said the same thing when Hatton fought Mayweather. What happened????????? This will not be a easy fight for either one of them.

[williejoyce1]

calzaghe

[dstarwar]

Some guys are gettin a bit carried away ( go watch Hopkins previous fights i.e. Trinidad & De La Hoya) and i don't even like the guy.

I hope Joe wins but:: his high Punch rate and speed combs will just be taken advantge of.

Power? he needs it bigtime! not being funny but his been tapping his last opponents. His Stamina along with Power, a tight stance/style and quick 'in out' flurrys will help.(This may take it to Points)

[jaguarsuperv8]

Joe Calzaghe: - Faster - More adaptable/ skilful - Tougher chin - Better Stamina - Higher work rate - A gentleman, icon for younger generation - Always attempts to please fans I can only see Hopkins winning via lucky KO or his experience... "slyness" rather... Definately not by natural talent. Good luck to both fighters, both are legends and valuable assets to the boxing world. We should enjoy them now, rather then after they retire Joe Calzaghe will own Hopkins. End of...

[NormenBatez]

Bernard Hopkins -Stronger -Bigger Puncher -Better Opponets -Better Chin Never been Knocked out only knocked Down Twice and Never Cut. -Better Defence -More Expernce with Champion Fighters -Has lost But never been Hurt -Has had to come back from adversity -Has fought At light Heavyweight Before Calzaghe has never been tested with elite fighters of his Era. Hopkins has proved himself Plenty of times.Joe is good but I wouldnt say he's great He hasnt beat any great fighters.

[kinghotep]

thats a speed ball not a heavy bag and those are not power shots

[tesla767]

I cant believe how dillusional these Calzaghe fans are. It must be a British thing. You would think that this guy was Sugar Ray Robinson or something!!! He hasnt even beaten anyone of merit and they are calling him great. Shouldnt you wait to see how he does with some guys who can really fight first. Kessler had ZERO big wins when they fought so how do you know he was so good? You might get totally shocked when you see how effective he is against better comp.

[gazoy08]

calzaghes looking good, and bigger than usual, i'm starting to beleive that not only will popkins not be able to handle joes speed and pure ability... but joes power's gonna get him too, just like all the other yanks who have fallen to joe. CALZAGHE is the GREATEST! enjoy april 19th yanks... i'm gonna (: what a mismatch!

[SmelOdies]

Hopkins is 43. Enjoy the glorious victory.

[SuperSilverHaze84]

what does that mean your making excuses for him already

[igsnider]

Many of us yanks are pulling for Calzaghe as well.

[BoxingAnalyst08]

Why??

[tesla767]

Are u kidding. Look at the video of Roy Jones hiting the double ended bad..makes this guy look silly. There is nothing on those punches. He slaps. Slighly better than average but NOTHING special. Hopkins will beat him up.

[marvindiggla]

ive seen roy jones doing his thing on the speed bag too! breathtaking. he looks super human compared calzaghe.

[thephantompooer]

hindsight makes this comment funny :)

[stcomerford]

seen amatuers with more concentration under spotlight, oohh this will scare hopkins, packs a punch, its a lightass pig skin ball.

[ladoe825]

boo!!!!!!!!!!!!
