    People on ESB didn't even have a scorecard but are convinced Calazage won despite missing all night and Hopkins scoring the better punches

    BBC RBR was probably done by Powderpuncher.

    I had the fight dead level 104-104 and undecided going into the twelveth, and gave the round to Calzaghe, I swear.

    Yeah, and they don't even give Brenie extra points for holding, holding & hitting, faked low blows, etc. What's the world coming to? :yep

    Newsflash Ruskull supports another white fighter and has the white fighter winning. You don't lose rounds for holding.

    Don't think I've ever seen you on a thread not concerning a white fighter. Phony boxing fan

    :rofl As if I care what you think...............I'll admit I thought Lacy was going to KO Joe :oops: At least I can admit when I'm wrong. I clearly said Joe would beat Ol' man Hops but I was worried about Joe getting caught. The posts are there if you want to read them you delushional ******* :D

    Watched the fight again this morning. It was a lot clearer for Calzaghe than I originally thought. It actually wouldn't change my scorecard at all, but the Calzaghe rounds I originally gave him by a tiny margin seemed clearer, Hopkins less effective than it first appeared.

    Its worth noting that Ben Dirs has zero boxing credentials and used to do live commentary on other sports.

    he is just a nobody.

    Anyone that thought Joe did not win has a serious lack of boxing credential sad knowlege

    Ben Dirs is not a proper boxing commentator/expert. He does the cricket play-by-play for the BBC website. He is considered 'funny' by some people and now they have him do all the play-by-play features for almost any sport (ie the less popular sports like golf, tennis etc).

    He knows **** all, you said it eborted_l!

    Unfortunately only people familiar with the BBC sport website realise this.
