Calzaghe Hopkins scorecard

The three American judges scored it 9-3, 8-4 and 6-6.

Bernard won two rounds on all three score-cards.

Joe won four rounds on all three score-cards.


Of the remaining six rounds, Joe won five on two of the three cards and Bernard won one on two of three cards.

Alltogether, 9 rounds to three.

Three US judges.

A US ref.

And a US location.

Harold Lederman: 9 rounds to three for Calzaghe.

Manny Stewart: "This wasn't a hard fight to score."

So, of the five Americans (three judges, Lederman and Manny Stewart), which ones were

(a) blind ?
(b) an irrational fanboy ?
(c) unaware of the rules and principles of boxing ?

 

I had Hopkins winning all rounds 10-8 or 10-7, including the secret 13th round they had in the carpark afterwards.

I can't see any sane person giving Calzaghe any rounds at all.

 

I thought Calzaghe won at least 13 rounds. With Hopkins maybe stealing the last 2 with his all-action, high-tempo style and workrate. Anyone who thought differently doesn't know **** about boxing.
