    It was the only time he couldn't push the championship rounds, and looked completely out of thoughts, which usually translates to out of breath when one wasted energy trying to get a clue. Tito, Tarver, Palvlik, Cloud, R10-12 was Hopkins territory, but by then the angles and holes disappeared. Calzaghe, who never watched tapes and barely ever sparred for a specific style was a slow adapter vulnerable early, but probably the best in the generation, demonstrated here. He gets little credit for taking Hops' best shots away, most still think he was nothing but a slapper. His science was too sweet I guess.

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing. A lot of Trout fans are also Hopkins fans but they had no problem scoring Hopkins/Calzaghe for Hopkins even though he got outlanded. They change their scoring method depending on who they support.

    Joe was way too slick for Hopkins. Total beatdown.

    I'm black, I scored Calzaghe/Hop for Calzaghe,
    I scored Trout/Canelo for Trout for the same reason.
    I actually gave Canelo one more round than Hop. Only
    gave Nard 4 rounds. Everyone on the site isn't this way.
    alot are though
