    I had Hopkins winning, but it is damn hard to award rounds when one guy does ****-all, the other guy lands ****-all, and both fighters look awful.

    exactly. in a round where hopkins throws 20 punches and lands 5 and calzaghe throws 80 and lands 10, who does it go to?

    Yep. I want to see how long I last watching it.

    I don't think that was a bad fight. I thought it was alright but I respect your opinion.

    same here. used to respect hopkins but the second he beat tito he seemed to turn into a whiny, primadonna *******...basically said and did all the ***** **** he complained about before he hit the big time

    Usually I like fights people say are boring, but I thought that fight was painful. At the time it wasnt too bad because it was just exciting that the tournament was beginning, but looking back and rewatching it, I just thought it was horribly sloppy.
