    calzaghe had a bad start and hopkins may have even won the first 4, after that it was clear calzaghi all the way

    the only thing controversial about it was that it was a spilt decision and not unanimous
    There's no way im rewatching this fight again, twice was enough for me. I had B-Hop winning. He landed the cleaner more effective punches, and had a very good start with the two point round.

    I didn't see Joe Calzaghe landing anything clean, most of his punches were blocked, slaps, or wern't landing that effectively. From my memory i can't remember Joe Calzaghe landing an eye catching blow all night.
    Exactly how I feel. Flailing around slapping the air doesn't win fights, clean and effective punching does. Hopkins won by a point IMO

    Didn't see much 'Clean and effective' punching from Nard after 4 rounds
