    It's just all baffling to me, how one minute he's an unknown joke and the next he can't do no wrong... and then this

    ****ing hell

    Weird
    Nationality shouldn't matter when scoring a fight.

      Dude it isnt Americans thinking Bernard won, it's just Hopkins fans. Im American and had Calzaghe winning easily.

        If Hopkins wouldn't have gassed out and resorted to cheap theatrics to buy time and catch his breath, he might have done just enough to tilt the decision in his favor. Plenty of arguments could be made for Hopkins, because it was close, but for him-or anyone else-to say it was some kind of "schooling" or shut out is complete donkey ****.

              Most UK had Hopkins winning the fight - including me


              It is a disgrace that Americans give that to Calzaghe - the clean sneak shots were from B-Hop, he made Calzaghe fight at his pace

              Bernard won rounds 1-3, 7 (or 8), 10, and the 12 was level with 1 a 10-8 and that's just off the top of my head, I think 4-5 as well he sneaked

              The guy has been away from his family since the week before Christmas, eating organic buffalo meat by himself, and you screw your own countryman like that?

              Hopkins got off to a blinding start and looked a level above Calzaghe

              Calzaghe just didn't landed enough clean shots to justify taking Bernard's title, any way you slice it up

              Imagine Hopkins on 36-year-old legs and not 43-year-old... wouldn't be a race
              Agreed, Hopkins landed the harder shots. But he had the same problem in the Taylor fights. He lands allot of short punches and he makes you miss by a 1/4 inch. Sometimes it's hard to see how pathetically the other guy (Taylor, Calzaghe) was missing unless you slow the fight down. That's OK, People understand that he's 43 and none of these guys could hold a candle to him if they where the same age!

                It was a close fight depending on style preferences.

                I've seen Calzaghe fans score it for Hopkins or say it could've went either way, and vice versa.
