    It wasn't the most exciting.

    But it was still good to watch Hopkins bust him up on a few occasions. Calzaghe looked frustrated all night long, and was finding it difficult to dictate the pace of the fight

    Disgusting fight to watch, Hopkins was a disgrace in this one.

    lead with head, right hand, hold, complain of low blow, repeat.

    It was definitely better than Jones-Calzaghe bout.

    Terrible fight, Joe trying to press the action and Hopkins fighting like he was content complaining about a close decision. Why doesn't he just go for it instead of complaining? Anyway, clear Calzaghe win.

    my god, i was gonna start a thread about this fight in a bit, and saying that i do enjoy watching it. not for the all out excitement, more for the display of skill from both guys, was a chess match, not for the casual fan but i like it.

    Horrible fight... Not worth watching again. The right outcome though.

    I do plan to watch it again. I remember thinking Calzaghe won it. A guy I know thinks that Hopkins genuinly thought he won the fight and that he could have done more.

    It was the first time I watched Calzaghe and I think he was a great boxer. I would have like to see him try to hold a little more ground and maybe fight Dawson and a few others.

    Not a great fight. Calzaghe couldn't land a punch and Hopkins didn't seem to have the stamina to land more than a few punches a round.

    I did give it to Hopkins, but everyone is giving the opportunity to give there own opinion. I also enjoyed the fight, but again to each there own.
