    i scored it by 2 points to calzaghe.
    calzaghe took away the hopkins jab and after round 3 it was calzaghe that made the fight and
    hopkins went more into his shell very uncomfertable with all the pressing and not giving hopkins time to set his traps .
    i beleive calzaghe boxed an undiciplined, poor fight and could have made it much easier for himself, but then again calzaghe right the way through his career has always boxed poorly v spoilers not giving himself the room and controlling them first with jab/foot movement /staying away.

    insterad as usual he got to close and allowed the grappling /spoiling to take place.

    he always gets the win v these type of fighters on workrate and will to win and mental toughness, but because his own style is unorthodox it makes him look ugly doing so.

    put calzaghe in with a come forward fighter like johnson, or stand up tall , no head movement like tarver and calzaghe will shine and he always has.

    but i said before the fight took place i would be happy with any kind of win from this fight and u am happy he got the win.

    a win is a win.

    Kessler will not flourish his days are numbered and he can only be carefully matched for so long.

    kessler has fought the best of his division: mundine, beyer, calzaghe. What are you talking about?

    If he beat someone like Dawson followed by an Erdei-calibre opponent, I would call him an ATG.

    Until then, I won't.

    After Glen Johnson beat the crap out of Dawson, Dawson does not look so good anymore.
