    Smile If Calzaghe Won Why????

    Why did setanta have him needing a KO really enough said Calzaghe should be 44-1 we know it he knows it the whole world knows it.

    Nah, I had Joe winning hands down....Hopkins tried what he knew and the only way he could win but it just wasn't good enough.


    Anytime Hopkins fights it's hard to judge just because he #1 Fights tough and is a tough Champion and #2 Is very dirty and cagey....I don't want to call him dirty but he knows every tiny little trick in the book and uses it to his advantage....his boxing IQ is just amazing...he influences every fight he's in more than any other fighter I have seen

    How is setanta measure of who's winning? Joes corner said that at the end of the 12th round but it was just to motivate him.

    Just accept the agony of defeat bro. Right now you're delusional with Hopkins lost.

    wtf you on about, the majority at set had jc winning..the commentators always speculate how the judges see it...

    Also if hopkins won why did all the Hbo commentators agree that it was an easy fight to score a victory for jc...

    Calzaghe won because:-

    He outlanded Hopkins comprehensively.
    He outworked him and had him looking very ragged down the stretch.
    He came forward and made the fight.
    Hopkins was so tired he resorted to questionable tactics to get himself a break.


    Aside from the first third, Calzaghe really was in control IMO.

    Hopkins should be sponsored by Reebok with the amount of running he does.

    He's an old guy, he's talented and smart enough to figure out a way to make it tough for everyone to beat him.

    You really have to take the fight to him before you beat him

    You really have to take the fight to him before you beat him

    You really have to take the fight to him to get near him...

    Props to Calzaghe, he adapted and clearly won. I had it 115-112 for Joe. Hopkins looked his age, but take nothing away from Joe, he was the better fighter.

    Hopkins looked tired and wanted out of the fight kind of.

    The worst thing that happened for B-hop was knocking Joe down with that right in the 1st round, he spent the rest of the fight looking for the same punch, but Joe adapted and never gave it to him.

    Hopkins had never been a favorite of mine, but he dropped a couple notches tonight. He got beat.

    Joe impressed me with his smarts and actually it looked like he got in Bernards head a little by the end. very fun fight to watch. I watch most of the fights with guys who have boxed and its almost uncanny how they see things. A couple called a right hand KD for bernard as soon as the fight started based on the way Joe was coming in. But Joe adjusted accordingly and won the fight.

    Props to Joe! Tough fight to win and he out thought a master. I was way more impressed with his smarts than his skills.

    Bernard should retire.

    I had some money on Hopkins, but was rooting for Joe by the end of the fight after all the crap. Joe was the better man tonight. RESPECT!
