I love Joe Calzaghe!

WTF are you on about fella
Hopkins dropped Joe in round 1?
Are you trying to say he did it by accident while "on the defensive"
Tell you what IF he'd have follwed that attack up and put it on Joe through round 2 we might not be having this conversation.
Hopkins can hit and Kelly can be hit 50-50 fight imo.

Hopkins was on the defensive for the 12 rounds. Even the fukking Ring Magazine agrees with me. Hopkins never dictated the pace at all. He backed off all night.

it's been years since hopkins has been on the offensive.. hopkins is a counter puncher, he's not going to come at you.. lee is correct..

anyway, you're right by saying that if hopkins followed up he would've had a chance to get joe out of there, but he did absolutely nothing int he second half of the fight, and it STILL was close.. Joe Calzaghe was so apprehensive in the beginning of that fight to throw a punch it was funny.. thing is he could've did what he did in the last 5ish rounds the whole fight, Hopkins doesn't throw a punch..

Kelly's output will win him the fight alone..
