The Joe Calzaghe Deception, the night Bernard Hopkins was robbed PART 6

This is an in-depth look at the Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins fight and the way the judges were influenced to give Calzaghe the decision.


Mike Tyson: "It was a good fight, I thought Bernard won."

Carl Froch: "Believe it or not Bernard Hopkins isn't that well liked in America, he didn't seem to get the nod with the hometown decision, and uh Calzaghe he won by split decision and um one of the judges had Hopkins win it and I think Hopkins won the fight..."

everyone knows that hopkins won that fight, he was robbed, even white people know this, they wont admit it though....

[theboxingblitz]

@SuperRehmat Oh really, "they" wont admit it, are you even aware of the race that I am? The guy who made this video series? Chill man. Chill.

[basketballfreak24]

bruce, u actually liked what hopkins was doing in that fight?. coming in with the right hook followed by a headbutt, a clinch and 2 or 3 dirty punches. then he faked atleast 2 low blows. once joe adjusted and took a step back b4 engaging, hopkins was the one falling in off balance. for all the clean punches bhop landed, i cant respect the way he did it and i would really like to know why you do respect it since i know u know boxing.

@basketballfreak24 Mike Tyson was known to turn punches over and land elbows, Floyd Mayweather will hold his forearm/elbow out on the inside to distance a fighter and clock them with a right hand, Joe Calzaghe punched people in the back of the head more than anyone you will find in the modern era, each guy has his edge he uses to gain an advantage. It is a fight after all, a standup fight. If it was merely a sport of aggression guys like Mayweather would have quite a few more losses.

@basketballfreak24 I do want to thank you for watching the videos, and I totally appreciate that you respectfully disagree with me. That's fair, and I don't take it personal because you watched every part.

[theboxingblitz]

@basketballfreak24 Just remember though that you are disagreeing with not only me, but Mike Tyson, Freddie Roach, Carl Froch, Yahoo Sports, the Associated Press and yes even ESPN who all saw the same fight I did, and many more, too many to list.

[Cowardzaghe]

At the end of the day its fairly obvious, most ppl think that Hopkins got screwed because of the "white boy" comments, due to both white judges Giampa (who also ruled against hopkins vs taylor) and Ted Gimza giving the nod to Calzaghe, Adelaide Byrd was the only black judge.

However people forget that in 2002, Hopkins was successfully sued $650,000 by HBO for accusing senior execs, including Lou Dibella of taking bribes.

Who you think HBO wanted to "win"?

Welcome to boxing politics!

thot hopkins edged it aswell.u can tell calzaghe never thot a brit cud come away from home to fight a champ and do no real damage or dominate the fight but still win..his body language says it all.

he followed hopkins around the ring throwing slapping flurries to look effective.

only reason it was close was cos hopkins gassed, a young hopkins would have destroyed calzaghe...

[danlfc1983]

@SuperRehmat I am white and I'll admit he was robbed :( I am also British too.

[Alwayshatehippies79]

I'm British and can remember feeling a bit dirty as Calzaghe clearly lost. The judge who give the decision in Hopkins favour had the score right. Rematch was the honourable thing and Joe ducked it. Welsh coward !

[CaucasianRaymond]

Im also white and I had Bernard winning 7 rds and Joe 5 rds. The overall judging was eerily almost similarly bad as the Pernell Whitaker-De La Hoya fight. In both cases established veteran kingpins soundly outboxed an undefeated more marketable fighter in tactical dull fashion yet they both got hosed by the judges(& Jim Lampley's commentary)

[squallFF9]

Now can you make one of the pascal fight that hopkins just won? :)

well done

[BnGProductionsBnG]

@Cowardzaghe you heard hopkins on "on the ropes boxing radio" when he talks about the MAFIA of today's boxing industry and how they rule what happens! check it! he is the most intelligent and most gifted athlete in boxing today!

[BnGProductionsBnG]

the way you guys broke it down was outstanding! and im from the UK! so let me tell you this! i tottaly agree with you guys! iv'e been a huge fan of bernard ever since i first saw him fight! he cleary won the fight! and calzaghe slithered his way with a split decision and denied hopkins a rematch! Get this right Calzaghe Fans! When he won the title in 1997 or 8 he never wanted ROY OR BERNARD! but when he see's that they are old he jumps in! He is a fake an always will BE!

[lemigod]

Thank you so much for putting some Sanity into the whole Undfeated Bullshit of Calslappy.

He did not land much with substance.The Crowd influenced the Judges as many of his slappy flurries missed or were blocked,but somehow CompuBox registered them while Hopkins rocked him with more meaningful fights.

Calslappy was schooled in this fight,he was beaten but the Judges gave him the W.

That's why he retired and never wanted a rematch coz he knows Hopkins nuetralised his much vaunted speed .

45-1.

[LIVfor1]

Is Calzaghe the kinda homo champ that Brits are proud of? He lost and then jumped around like a fool... really like a kid getting the toy he wanted for christmas when they announced his name. but what really kills it is the butt hump shit he did when B Hop was bent forward. gay champ, nothing to be proud of. admit you lost the damn fight and get some respect back!!!

[Shirashama]

Disgraceful once you review it, though hard to say if it was crooked judging, crowd influence, inexperienced judges (Gimza) or just a poor eye for good inside fighting. Hopkins definitely won, though he should have closed better and won the 12th. Thanks for the great analysis, now I know for sure that B-Hop was robbed.
