It sux that unless there is a knockdown or a STRAIGHT UP winner, everyone argues about who won... It's how your scoring the tactics... Joe's trying to f'n punch him, hopkins in using tactics to make sure he doesn't get hit...
Given they hit each other equally, the aggressor and not the hugger wins in my book....
Close fight to score, could go either way.. I'll absolutely agree with that and that either could win.... If it can go one way fairly, it can go the other way fairly...
I just vomitted in my mouth.....
Fuck Kellerman for doing A Jim Grey and pounding his chest through Hopkins about low blow...dedicated assclown
Thanks for the Memories Bernard Hopkins.The doubters can bite pillow with a grimace
Bernard classy as ever. The best man definitely won.
OK who can make me a .gif of JC doing the macarena on B-Hop's behind

Respect to Hopkins though.. Apart from the grabbing, which lets face it, has been an intergral part of him being a champion,,, and I have all respect for him as a champion....
90% of the first few rounds, he took all assets away from Calzaghe and had him questioning himself.. He wasn't relaxed or loose or able to find a way to throw any decent punches... Even heading into the fight, Calzaghe never looked himself.. The last 4 or 5 rounds Joe looked better and was able to deal with Hopkins.. But 70% of the time, Hopkins took away most of Joe's assets, and he had to eek out a messy decision that was always going to be close...
He had enough in the tank and arsenal though,,, others wouldn't have come out on top Hopkins..
Hopkins I knew was going to be his toughest fight regardless of age.. Mainly due to his style and ring smarts at smothering another guys work..
I would not have argued to dramatically if Hopkins was given the win,,, but I think over all, Joe was able to show that bit more, and showed he deserved the points more..
Probably not by as much as one of the judges had it, but anyway...
Calzaghe never looked like himself, all credit to Hopkins for that.. But still came out on top of a messy win..
CONGRATS JOE!!!!! Repect to Hopkins for doing what he always does and never making this an easy fight for a single second for Calzaghe.
I thought it was very close but missed the 4th round so I'll have to review it better tonight but it was just a question of how you score fights imo. I found myself rewarding a stiff Hopkins shot much more then I would a Calzaghe amateur style flurry. But then there were times where Joe's dominance could not be denied.
I have got to be honest, Joe is a bit lucky because he fought stupid for a good majority of this fight. There was no reason he shouldn't have been jabbing Hopkins at all times, the jab was neutralizing Hopkins' jumps inside and the jab was like a wall. Calzaghe did better when the fight went inside on his terms then he did with Hopkins jumping in and forcing them to fight square.
Dirty dirty fight though no doubt. I hate that stuff but at least Cortez was quick to break.
