Calzaghe vs. Hopkins

[severnside gull]

not a particularly great scrap but just about worth staying up for and just about the right result

Can't see there being a great demand for a return but I had Hopkins just in front due to the knockdown.

was never going to be a classic was it !

talk of roy jones , would of been good fight 5 years ago !!

I think that JC will need to knock Hopkins out because he will not get a points victory in Vegas.

Won on points!!

Me too. Joe is a lucky boy.

I still dont really rate Calzaghe tho...

I am really suprised that the American judges gave it to JC but I thought that he won by 2 rounds but not the 9 that 1 judge gave and also not as 1 judge gave it to Hopkins. To win on points in USA, coming from UK, it is traditional that you have to win by a mile to get a split decision I didnt thik that JC won by a mile hence the the reason I didnt think that he would get a points decision.

I thought the 2 bad points were the ref he was awful again as in the Hatton fight and also the Hopkins intervioew when he went on about giving JC a boxing lesson.

In my now drunken view the Calzaghe fight was like the newcastle v sunderland match after newcastle scored the two goals. Sunderland had alot more possesion and attacked more but newcastle looked the more skillful and dangerous on the break.

Calzaghe won in the us without landing a decent punch, had hbo anything to do with the last judges decision.......................
