    Just felt a need to put this poll up because there are alot of people on this forum wrongly stating that "almost everyone" thought that Hopkins won this fight. don't just vote in the poll, give your score.

            I also had it 115-112. Hopkins was effective when he threw, but unfortunately for him that was only once or twice per round. He got out-worked.

                114-113 for Hopkins. The strongest emphasis on scoring a fight is Clean Effective Punches. Hopkins won every aspect of Clean Effective Punching. Yes he didnt throw a lot, but you can't base a fight on who throws the most punches. I also believe and Ive watched the fight many of many times, that a lot of Calzaghe's punches were landing, but most were landing on the arms. BHop was in a shell defensively, and he was taking a lot of these shots on his elbows and rolling some to counter with his right hand. Ugly fight, but the KD won it on my cards. Also watch the fight on mute, and again come back and answer the thread. Maybe your card won't change, but it will give you a real sense of scoring a fight from ringside, without having the commentators swaying a round here or there.

                6 apiece 114-113 Hopkins wins with the 1st round KD!

                    Hopkins did land the better punches when he threw but there weren't enough of them IMO, Calzaghe just outworked him.
