Hopkins Won In My Eyes

[Kirkland Laing]

The only thing that kept Hopkins in the fight was one good punch in the first round giving him an early advantage.

Yes. Plus it definitely slowed Calzaghe for the first three rounds, he didn't really get going till round four. But that makes his victory all the more great. Making your Vegas debut, getting knocked down in the first minute of the first round, then getting butted fouled and cheated for twelve rounds and a biased referee and Calzaghe still won.
