lets be fair here and tell it how it was. most of the rounds bar the first round were difficult to score. what was plainly obvious was how hopkins would try and stop calzaghe working on the inside. cortez who Im rapidly losing respect for seemed to turn a blind eye to hopkins using his head. at one stage hopkins did it right in front of him and cortez did nothing. hopkins fought the crafty fight we knew he would do trying to counter joe with his right hand. you could argue that the decision could have gone either way. Personally i had calzaghe winning by 2 rounds. Calzaghe was always the fighter that forced the pressure and maybe thats what swayed the fight in his favour in the eyes of 2 of the Vegas judges.
