    For a Hopkins fight, i thought it was pretty good. Not interested in a rematch, though. Not at all.

    In between the 2nd and 3rd. I've never expected this to be a brawl as Hopkins is a master of anti-box, but it was still a good technical fight.

    Pretty good exchanges, I'd love a rematch on free HBO, considering I had Hopkins winning (114-113)

    to be honest i really enjoyed it so i voted for pretty good fight, i thought hopkins came to win not came to fight came to win and thats what he did it certainly was a clash of styles which i felt could go either way! i would love a rematch to be honest! bt i think joe can still hve bigger and better things than hopkins! lets wait and c :D

    Messy old fight. Nobody will be clamouring for a rematch.

    Pretty good. Thanks to that flash knockdown it was exciting from the very beginning.

    Good for a B-Hop fight and it was interesting how prepared B-Hop was, guy has a bag of tricks (both good and bad) and Calzage did well to beat him at his own game, not bad for a white boy
