This isn't at all like the Taylor fight, Bernard threw more punches than he did against Taylor, he landed more punches, I think Calzaghe was an easier opponent for Bernard style wise. Because Taylor was very athletic and spazzy when Beranrd would come in, it makes it harder to do anything againt him, also because Taylor could hit harder than Calzaghe, and he hit Bernard a lot cleaner than Joe was able to last night.
Course i saw the fight, IVE ALSO GOT IN ON VIDEO AND HAVE SEEN IT TWICE MORE!

Every time i see the fight i come to exactly the same conclusion, hopkins takes 4 rounds, calzaghe 7 rounds and 1 round a draw...that gives calz a 115,113 win.

What totally cracks me up is that calzaghe got the second best punch in the fight, he ROCKED HOPKINS BIG TIME IN THE 10TH, HOPKINS WAS HURT AND IMMEADIATELY CLINCHED...WHY DOES THIS SEEM TO ESCAPE THE 'DOUBTERS' AND 'HATERS' KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIGHT?

Watch round 10 again, ive seen it 3 times already, calzaghe rocks hopkins with a clear hook straight to the chin on nard!

Had nard done that to calzaghe there would be many guys picking up on it but because its the other way round they dont want to acknowledge it!

Sorry, i showed my scorecard of the fight and the facts back up my scorecard and my decissions.

All in all calzaghe started poorly and then from rounds 4-12 (rnd 4 was the turning point) he figured out bhop and outclassed him.

A close fight, but calz threw some quality punches aswell, throwing and landing a lot more than hopkins did.

DEAL WITH IT, CALZAGHE WON!

In the end its like this:

calz throws lets say 100 punches, 60 of them hit, 20 are power punches.

nard throws 60 punches, 30 of them hit, 17 are power punches.

Thats how it worked, a higher percentage of hopkins shots were power puches BUT CALZAGHE LANDED MORE POWER PUNCHES IN THE FIGHT. Just because someone lands a comparitavely higher amount of punches means nothing because calz threw and landed more big shots. AGAIN I WILL SAY 'LOOK AT ROUND 10 AGAIN!!!'

I have videod this fight and i can see it clearly, theres no way hopkins got the fight...i'll give you the benefit of the doubt though mate seeing as you might not have videod it and therefore have only seen it once. Check the fight out again, in particular when hop is rocked in the 10th, then you see calzaghe doing damage!

you have no idea what your talking about, I have not stated who I was cheering for, I am a big fan of both fihgters.

You know nothing about boxing... I am sure of that. No way did Calzaghe land more big punches, and no way did he ever come close to hurting Bernard.

That fact is that Calzaghe didn't figure Bernard out, Bernard stopped throwing punches, while Calzaghe continued to miss most of his punches. Also Calzaghe was not throwing quality punches, and has not thrown quality punches in a long time except maybe against Kessler. Even against Lacy, it was more the fact that Lacy can't deal with movement or somebody else throwing first than the fact Calzaghe is a "god". Calzaghe definitely wasn't landing crisp punches last night. I thought he would win most of the rounds before the fight, but that it would be tough, but I had no idea Bernard was on a totally different level than Calzaghe when it came to skill. When Bernard was fighting with freshness he was too slick, too hard of a puncher, and too smart for Calzaghe to deal with.
