1) Calzaghe won the fight - on the official scorecards. Those scorecards are ALL that matters, so all those people that are whining that B-Hop got robbed should STFU. 2) As for as my scorecard goes - I had B-Hop winning the fight 115-112 (although my scoring is often iffy). I am very dissapointed Calzaghe got the verdict and I think he was very poor. Hopkins is a much, much better fighter still than I gave him credit for, even if he does bend the rules an awful lot and use every trick in the book.
Bernard Hopkins fought terrific , He had the opening few rounds with controling the pace landing straight rights and jabs but other than a few rounds in the later stages, calzaghes work rate was far superior and even if his punchs wernt really damaging he was actully throwing in which hopkins lost rounds through inconcsitency! Calzaghe had the drive to win and it succeds
