Hopkins and people who think he won: DELUSIONAL

Yep, he did the smart thing. Can't argue with that.

Exactly, I was laughing because I guarantee that was like a Get Out Of Jail Free card in the mind of Hopkins who needed a rest and took it within the boundaries of the rules. Did it please the fans? No but Hopkins couldn't give a fuck about the fans especially the ones in the building tonight.

I can see both sides of the argument, it depends on what you value more, clean punching or volume punching. Bernard clearly landed the better shots throughout the night but Calzaghe's output was high. That's basically what every round boiled down to. I've got no problem with Hopkins winning, 116-111 seems a bit excessive but when you have a lot of close rounds it doesn't take much for that scorecard to get inflated.
