    Exposed is a pretty annoying word, but it showed the limitations of his style, thats for sure.

    i had it 117-109

    gave kelly 4 and 10, and that was just because i wasnt 100% sure.
    if i have a little doubt i give it the other guy, so its easy to see people have hopkins winning everyround, that damn good

    If by exposed you mean, being exposed as talentless, then no.

    But if you mean exposed as in having his major flaw exposed, then yes. People will just stick and move all night long, keeping him out of his rhythm and not allowing him to plant his feet. He was also rocked by B-Hop on several occassions, and Hopkins is a hurtful puncher, not a concussive one. The 2nd round seemed strangely familiar....the only thing different was the lack of a knockdown. Pavlik reacts the same way every time he gets rocked....his wobbles around, protects his head/face as best as he can, and tries to stand straight---Eating punches round the sound of the head tenfold.

    B-Hop seriously thought he could K.O him, and now Williams, Abraham, Kessler (anyone around that sort of bracket) will know of weaknesses they can exploit.

    B-Hop, now more than ever, seems to have no weaknesses. Calzaghe's win is starting to appear even more impressive, though it will probably have the adverse effects of everyone claiming B-Hop was robbed from now on :)

    I think Calzaghe will likely outwork Roy to a decision, i just don't see how Roy can negate the work rate issue. Hopefully the judges aren't ******ed though because there is going to be a whole lot of Calzaghe ineffectively slapping Roys gloves whilst he is on the ropes.

    would be interesting if they have a rematch Calzaghe Hop

    who would you fancy against that Miami, Nazim Richardson trained executioner?

    Gotta say his preparation was spot on last night

    You are still a noob yourself. Just because you have no life and have over 10000 posts in 3 months dont mean you aren't still a noob.

    Hmm. So based from your responses, its seems that my analysis (on one of the threads) about how B-Hop will win seem to be decently accurate. Only the end result was the wrong one since I picked B-Hop to win by SD. I would've never imagined he'd win this one by shutout.

    The guy is simply amazing. Wow.
