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.
Bewrnard should retire.
