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.
