Calzaghe was rarely landing clean shots. He'd throw a lot of punches in a flurry and they'd hit air or Hopkins's arms and shoulders. Hopkins landed more clean shots. That's the best argument for Hopkins winning. A simple and clear one.

Of course, Hopkins wasn't landing too many either. It was an ugly fight, not the easiest to score. More of a case of preference on which style you preferred.

I didn't really have much of a problem with the decision, but it WAS a close fight.
