    In spite of all the bull**** (who said what they were gonna do), he did well for a 43 year old.

    I gave Hopkins 3 clear rounds (maybe one other). The rest were Calzaghe's

    I don't think they are refusing to face the truth. They are just used to most important Calzaghe wins being debatable. It's always like his opponent was stopped prematurely or his punches are slaps and therefore counted erroneously. Still some of them wonder why there are so many Calzaghe doubters.:huh

    Bingo! :good

    8 - 4 Calzaghe... 115-112

    Not that hard folks. My 9 year-old daughter could score the fight.

    Calzaghe won every round apart from the 1st,10th, and poss the 2nd. All Hopkins did was run backwards,hold,tried for an Oscar, and occasionally potshot. That's not enough.

    9 - 3 or (generously) 8-4.

    The scores offered up by the two judges WITHOUT the thick-lens glasses.

    No serious poster has contested the result.

    I was impressed that Bernard did as well as he did, though.

    I had predicted a possible stoppage or at best, two rounds for BHop in a UD.

    very true, I think Hopkins has become dillusional and really does think he won because he never got stopped. he never threw enough punches. I'm surprised even BH fans think he won. It's hard to win a decision with such a low punch output.

    I gave Joe the 4th round but hopkins the first 3, when i was at the fight i thought the 2nd was tight and could of gone either way but after watching it on TV i thought it was Hopkins round. So after the first 4 rounds i had hopkins up by 3.

    Also hopkins said at the end of the fight all the fans apart from the brits know who the real winner is, well in the 12th round most of the american fans were walking out with there heads down before the fight had finished.

    Like I said before Hopkins is dillusional, he said the same thing after his losses to Taylor.

    Hey FW, hows it going my man?
    Ive watched the fight another twice since I posted, and still cant see anything other than a very close, but clear to me, Hopkins win.
    I saw 3 rounds definitively for Calzaghe, 6 for B-Hop, and 3 I find almost impossible to score, as it was Calzaghes ineffective, but higher workrate, v Hopkins terrible output, but cleaner punching.

    Calzaghe is good, but massively over-rated IMHO, and if Jones Jr can get himself in a decent enough shape so as not to gas, he can beat Joe, and moreover, could knock him out.
    Calzaghe relies completely on hand and foot speed, well Jones feet have slowed, but his hands havent, and if he can beat Joe to the punch, and I believe he can, he has enough power, that if he can sustain his attacks(big question mark here), will stop him.
