    Americans are just as nationalistic as the british, if not more. You truly believe America is the the greatest country in the world and every other country should obay your commands at all times.

    All Ive really said is although it was a fight that could be viewed in different ways, I thought Calzaghe beat Hopkins, its amazing how upset this makes people, well you can see the threads to get the idea, and then the word nationalist get brought up? Not sure why, But there you go, people read things that arent there

    He clearly won a majority of the rounds but most of the rounds he won were close.

    It was a close but clear win.

    NOT a schooling.

    I think people confuse a schooling with a beating or with the subjective tally up of points.

    Watch the fight with the sound off and focus on the the beauty of the boxer taking the **** out of the less skilled boxer/crude puncher et al and identify with a schooling.

    For an apt example I refer you to Barrera v Hamed. Hamed was like a performing artist that night - but sadly not in the lead role.:deal

    He won clearly, but it wasn't a schooling. A schooling was what Andre Ward did to Kessler.

    It was a 116-112 Calzaghe win.
    Ward won all 11 rounds

    Huh?And I suppose Americans came up with this little gem,"The sun never sets on the British Empire."Honestly,the US is probably THE most pro-British country on earth.

    :good

    after saying that, calzaghe was rarely troubled.
    and after saying that....kessler certainly didn't lose any respect amongst joe or kessler fans for his performance.

    without all the fancy terms, joe simple out pointed his man.he fought the same way he always does.he was slicker and faster with the hands so he won, kessler tryed but he was not good enough.
