rnd 7. Joes corner yelling and swearing at him. round starts the same as all the others. Joe warned both fighters in the break - being too conservative i think. Let them fight they both want to.

Hard fight to score. Again, Joe Cortez is a fucking terrible ref.

I have it 4-3 Calzaghe, even because of the KD. Somebody needs to explain the concept of inside fighting to Cortez.
What a great game plan by Hopkins, I don't know if I've ever seen a smarter fighter.

How do you score that round? Win or lose, Hopkins is really impressing me here.
