It was a 4-5 pts winning margin.No coincidence that the best judge with the most experience had it by 5pts to Calzaghe.Take away the flash Knockdown and its almost a shut out.Imagine what would have happened in Wales.
WTF is wrong with you people?

Calzaghe clearly won, let it go dude. If it weren't for the KD it would've been even a larger defecit.how was that a clear winner of the fight, B-hop/Joe was an extremely close adn difficult fight to score, Joe was no where near as active as he is known for despite coming forward, and B-hop didnt seem to do himself a favor by being more active and he held a bit
Round 1 10-8 hops (no he did not rush Calzaghe down the only reason he didnt fall on his ass is cause he held onto B-hop)
Round 2- Hopkins edged it
Round 3- Hops
Round 4- Calzaghe edges it coulda been a draw round
Round 5- Calzaghe
Round 6- a close round for Hops that also coulda been a draw round
Round 7 the only round i could not give to either fighter, joe came on with them weak slap combos but B-hop landed a right hand that wobbled him
Round 8- Hops barley got it
Round 9 Calzaghe
Round 10- Hopkins
Round 11- Calzone
Round 12- no fighter seemed to really want it lmao i gave the edge to calzaghe
so i had it 6-5-1 in favor of Hops, it coulda gone either way but those wide scores for calzone were ****** as sin i think Hopkins got it, Hopkins by holding and not being active will hurt him cause people in general dont like that style so the casual fans will rip hopkins and say he lost which clearly isnt the case, Calzaghe did come forward and pressed the action which helps his cause however he was NOWHERE near as active as he was in other fights and NOWHERE near as effective and u dont score points by just comign forward you gotta do soemthing
i call for a remacth
quick edit
for the record i watched the British broadcast on sentana 1 live and the brit commentator himself said you couldnt argue if it went the other wayComment

All credit to JC Superstar. He did what he had to do to secure the win! I think he deserved it! If it wasn't for him there wouldnt have been a fight! WELL DONE JOE!!Comment

117-110 for calzaghe
every round he landed twice the punches hopkins landed
so what if they are slaps they still count just look at paul williamsComment

Joe was landing more punches and won more rounds i agree with that but Bhop was landing cleaner punches but not enough in the end to win the fight and he tired in the latter rounds, I must be one of the few that thought it was close but i am willing to respect peoples opinions on the fight.Comment

yes cuz hops and jones wanted the bigger share of the pot which they deserved cuz they were the much bigger names. calzaghe would've still made more money fighting them 6-7 years ago than he ever did. it was calzaghe who didn't accept the offers from hops and jones. I doubt very much that they were scrared of him.Comment

Joe C clearly won, the 2/3 of the American judges thought so, including the studio, the audience, and viewers. Get over it.
Can't quite work it out, I could have sworn when looking at peoples avatars yesterday, 6/10 it had an American state in there.
Yet today after the fight, it's more like 1/10.
