Hopkins KO 8.
I was sold on the guy and in all my predictions said the fight was 51% Lacy 49% Calzaghe, but a lot of that was also due to me believing that JC was on the slide.

I stilll think Lacy could've gone on to become a superb world champion, but taking a beating like that from a guy that was world champion for 4 years before he even turned pro may have wrecked his career.

Hope not!!
