What was going through your head in the first round..

I was quiet. Concentrating as hard as I could on the fight (as I usually do). Pretty low-key, though... Then as SOON as Hops landed with the right, I won't lie, I was out of my chair - arms in the air - screaming my lungs out in joy.

Awesome.

 

I started considering the possibility of a KO victory... but that faded after a few rounds

 

man i thought this could have been another upset this year. but bhop faded and i dont think he was listening to roach. but he lost alot of energy fast

 

I always thought BHOP would land a clean shot or 3 on Joe and send him down......but I also thought it would not be backed up.

It made the fight alot more interesting.

 

Genuinely not that bothered. He went down and got up clear headed and steady legged. A very clear flash KD.

the only worry was one that Id had for a little while that the judging might be a bit off, and losing a 2 point round would only make it more likely to happen.

 

right with you.

 

it didnt surprise me i think b-hop needed to leave his marker on joe and it helped him dictate the pace from there on out because joe second guessed himself when he tried to attack and flurry...joe fought his fight as a direct result of that KD

Same thing I thought

 

shocked,slightly worried,but knew he'd turn it round.

 

I told myself "Joe will probably get up quick and start rushing in like the Lacy fight". But instead, he was hesitant, im sure he respect Bhops power and legacy.

And after the first round "A controversial decision in the making", atleast, there was no controversy, clear Calzaghe win.

 

"Well, that isn't ****ing good" was the quote.

Then he got up and looked ok and I was confident again.

 

"Damn Hopkins just cemented his legacy"

But I knew Joe would eventually win based on slap output.

 

calm down, Kellerman asked him again about the "slip" and Calzaghe said he was Joking, remember Hatton saying something similar after the Mayweather fight?? it was suppoused to be funny :good

 

I was shocked, it was a good well times shot will legitamatly put him down. he wasnt hurt though, Hopkins certainly didnt think he was anyway.
