Those 200+ punches weren't earth shattering, but were certainly effective enough to make Hopkins disgrace himself with a despicable act of cheating.
I trust my own eyes more than I will ever trust Compubox and Calzaghe didn't land anything of consequence all fight long.
I dislike Hopkins, I like Calzaghe and I was cheering for him, but I felt that he lost the fight by one point. I've watched it twice since it aired and both times I have come up with the same conclusion. It was so close that I don't really have a problem with Calzaghe getting the decision, but in my mind Hopkins won the fight. It was ugly, dirty, and boring, but he won.
Thankfully your opinion is shared with just a small minority.
I think most people thought it was a close-ish fight with Cazlaghe a clear winner - that's what the polls seem to indicate anyway.
