    Clear win for Calzaghe :smoke.
    Except it people Hopkins LOST TO CALZAGHE :happy.

    You just cant live with it. The vast majority and non bias had Joe winning.
    2 Judges had it a comfy win for Calzaghe, the other who wrongly scored for Hopkins, gave Hopkins round 11 a clear Calzaghe round :patsch.
    Calzaghe stepped up a weight and beat the champ, in America, with 3 American judges and Cortez as the ref :lol:

    The funny thing is watching those 2 highlight films (which say very little) and looking at what I think were clean flush punches shown (ie not every shot) I only saw 7 clean shots from Hopkins and 10 from Calzaghe who clearly outlanded and beat Hopkins

    Calzaghe having them homo fantasies in the ring was desperation after being schooled for the first 6 rounds.

    I had Calzaghe a point ahead after 6 rounds and finished with a score of 117-112 for Calzaghe. But we will always differ on the subject

    so u scored it:-
    2 rounds Hopkins
    2 rounds even
    8 rounds Calzaghe

    -1 for Calzaghe getting knocked down.

    I had it 6 a piece.
    That fight wasnt easy to score, the only solution was a rematch IMO.

    Both corners knew it was close when the scores were being announced.

    If they were the same age Hopkins would have won a comfortable UD.

    If Hopkins wasn't outworked, outclassed and outslapped. He would have won!!!

    Regarless of any selectively arranged video..................if you've actually seen the fight & scored Hopkins as the winner you shoul hang your head in shame. I was embarrassed for Bernard, he threw hardly any punches and faked low blows...............:lol: :rofl

    Hopkins fought a disgraceful fight all he did for the majority of the fight was hold, clinch, grab, wrestle, and fake low blows. He looked like John Ruiz in there. It was awful. He has nobody to blame but himself. Had he actually come to fight he might have been able to win instead he made the fight an ugly stinker and lost.

    I scored it as
    Round 1 Hopkins 10/8
    Round 2 Hopkins
    Round 3 Calzaghe
    Round 4 Calzaghe
    Round 5 Calzaghe (Hopkins tries to land after the bell)
    Round 6 Calzaghe
    Round 7 Even (Calzaghe wins most of the round, with the odd pot shot by Hopkins. Most are fooled at the end of the round with Hopkins solid punch but there was a headbutt which landed just before)
    Round 8 Calzaghe
    Round 9 Calzaghe
    Round 10 Hopkins
    Round 11 Calzaghe
    Round 12 Calzaghe

    3 rounds Hopkins 1 even 8 rounds to Calzaghe -1 for Calzaghe due to KD.

    Some of the rounds were close

    Hopkins only made it any close because he constantly cheats, CONSTANTLY. He lost.

    IF the fight were in England, Hopkins would have been able to the same thing he did in this fight, im pretty sure. Cortez is a very fair ref. ;)

    In truth I thought round 7 could have been scored for Joe, but I was trying to get into the mindset of how someone thought Hopkins won and awarded Hopkins a point to make the score closer
