12: Hopkins
that is almost a drawish scorecard. Gary Balls is not gonna like that. He will cry now
Absolutely not.
I'm happy for every score. If i'm wrong i'm wrong.
I do think scorecards of 116-112 were a bit unfair to Cloud. I actually had it 6-5-1 Hopkins.
I had Cloud winning 3, possibly 4 of the first 6 rounds. They were very close and I can see it being scored the other way. But and this is truly remarkable for a man who is 48, Hopkins came on stronger after round 7. He controlled much of the last 3 rounds, making Cloud seem slow, plodding, swinging...and older.

Hopkins easily in my eyes. The early rounds were close and Cloud should have done more. Hopkins landed cleaner, made Cloud look stupid at times, and he did better work when up close. I had a wide UD for Hopkins, although I could see how someone could score some of the early rounds for Cloud. I pretty much agree with your score.
