OK just watched the fight

[ICB]

Mate after what Bernard did to Pavlic and considering how close their first fight was there would be a diffferent light on it than just the usual rematch. I wonder who most Americans would chose to put up against him next if they could?

I didn't think the fight was all that close really.

Hopkins whines like a little bitch when he loses any fight and he because his style is so ugly it prevents anyone from looking good even in victory his fans will claim a poor performance from the opponent as a win.

Apart from the first round knockdown Hopkins didn't do much at all imo.

Yes he negated most of what Calzaghe did too but Calzaghe was the only guy who was trying to win that fight. All Hopkins did was hold and spoil.

Most of Joe Calzaghe's punches were ineffective, i actually watched his flurries in slow motion and most of them were hitting the gloves. Or wern't landeing clean, can you actually point out to me how many real flush shots Joe Calzaghe landed in the entire fight ? I for certain liked Bernard Hopkins cleaner more effective punches, and they were easy to see aswell.

I think Bernard Hopkins won by one point i had it 6-6, with the knockdown being the difference. But i don't care what anyone says and i'll keep saying it no matter what, i thought Robin Reid beat Joe Calzaghe quite convincingly by atleast a couple of points.

For what's it's worth, I scored it the same. For the record, I was cheering for Calzaghe - I remember thinking he edged it when I saw the fight live on tv, but I rewatched it a few weeks ago and scored it and I had Hopkins winning.

Have to say it's not been a harsh reaction by both fan followings,nice post fight compared to some others.I had no problems with the fight early on but as it went on...it was clear how the street was paved.Alot is made of the taunting by Calzaghe but I can not fault him.Yes it was prickish,and frankly pretty dumb at times....I thought for sure he would pull a Campbell as it increased,but he turned the tables

As it stands,Calzaghe vs. Hopkins is a big reality.Personally,I do not want that fight in too much based on styles.I did have Joe winning the first go by about 2 points and should Hopkins take the handcuffs off and step in with combos,he could pull it off in rematch.What other options/Big bank days do each have ?
