Originally posted by #1Assassin View Postmatthyses losses to alexander and judah in particular werent really robberies imo. against judah i had him winning by just one point. in fact alot of these so called robberies were fights that could have gon either way, funeka-campbell for example.
hopkins was robbed worse against taylor twice and then even more so against calzaghe, now that was a real robbery.

calzaghe lost to hopkins. missed punches isnt effective aggression and dont score any points other than the points the opponent gets for his defense. when they did land hopkins landed much better shots, harder, cleaner and more damaging. he dropped calzaghe and hurt him on 3-4 diffrent occassions, meanwhile the only damage calzaghe did was below the belt.
the only area calzaghe outpointed hopkins was ring generalship, he did a good job cutting the ring off and putting hopkins on the ropes but thats it.
clean effective punches - hopkins
effective aggression - neither (hopkins wasnt aggressive and calzaghe wasnt effective)
defense - hopkins
ring generalship - calzaghe
most ppl dont know how to score fights though, they think just throwing more punches is outworking someone regardless if you land or not. it isnt, outworking someone is if both fighters are about equally effective but one is significantly more busy.
if one is more busy but incredibly inneffective while the other is measured but very effective the guy who throws less wins huge. not only is he scoring on clean effective punching by landing more quality shots but hes scoring big on defense too.
i dont think ppl can tell whats an effective punch either though, they see with their ears. thats what killed hopkins against calzaghe and even more so against taylor. taylor could throw three shots miss all of them and get clocked with a counter right hand and lampley would go "big right hand from taylor, and another!" and ppl would buy it. if you turn the sound off you will see hopkins was boxing taylors ears off and the same thing applies to calzaghe.
joe slaps him 8 times on the gloves and hopkins hits him with two hard, clean bodyshots, in reality an excellent exchange for hopkins scoring with his punches and his defense. but instead its called and subsequently scored as a great flurry for joe.
