    Oops forgot about the 'Knock down!

    So that makes Cortez 3 rounds

    and Cal by 5 rounds!

    When I first watched it I was a bit drunk and had Calzaghe winning easily and sweeping the middle and late rounds on work rate. Having watched the fight sober a few times I always score it for Hopkins by 2 rounds. 115-113.

    Many of Calzaghe's punches missed despite what compubox says and Hopkins often caught him with sneaky counters that were hard to see. Hard fight to score to be honest, Hopkins landed the more accurate, clean punches, while Calzaghe was busier and more aggressive, though many of his punches missed or did not land cleanly.

    I had Calzaghe winning.

    I refuse to watch the fight again. Can't stomach Hopkins acting jobs in that one.

    10-2 or 9-3.


    8-4 if you're really generous.
