    I had it 10 rounds to 2, how the hell was this a close fight? It wasn't close at all!

    117-110. Off balance KD, fair, otherwise he'd have lost that round also.

    What is this 115-112 and 'close fight either way' bull****? Believe me, I'm disapointed in Calzaghe, but don't make out like Bernard did anything.

    Agreed, I expected a little more from Joe, but it was still wide on mine

    I don't think anybody looks good against Hopkins with those tactics, but Joe is slowly deteriorating I feel

    116-111 Calzaghe, he established the jab and landed many clean left hands. set the pace and forced the action. appeared fresher at the end and the pressure threw Hopkins off. No question 9-3 Calzaghe, hell i could see 10-2-1.

    This is largely what lead me to score it for Hopkins. I felt Calzaghe was ineffective with many of his shots, while Hopkins pinpointing many telling blows. Still, I felt the activity of Calzaghe would lead him to win a Split Decision, and it did.

    Joe definitley is deteriorated, Decebal and Danepug keep saying otherwise, that was no prime Calzaghe in there, part of it was Hopkins' **** spoiling and counter puncher advantage, but Calzaghe just looked okay.

    But anyway, he remains at P4P #2 until he beats somebody more impressively, like Dawson.

    Calzaghe won the fight. But after the first round you only scored one to Hopkins. Biased beyond belief. Calzaghe looked **** tonight. If he won by 3-4 points, don't matter. Terrible fighter technically. His workrate impressed me, but that was about it. He won his rounds by being busier, but not clean effective punches. Hopkins never fought much better and wasn't getting off like he should have done. Many rounds were close. No question.

    10 rounds to 2. A JOKE.

    Joe is getting older, but probably against another fighter he would have looked excellent like he did against Kessler.

    I had it 116-111. After a good first round by Hopkins, Calzaghe pretty much controlled the pace afterwards. I thought Hopkins was just to inactive during most of the fight and wasn't really landing enough punches, although it wasn't a bad performance by Hopkins overall.

    I had Calzaghe winning 115-112 simply for landing more punches...Not a great performance by either fighters..But I guess that was Bernards plans.

    But Props to Joe any way
