    The only good thing about this fight was the feature piece HBO aired before the fight.

      Hatton wasn't allowed to clich by the corupt ref Joe Cortez.
      Hopkins should have been DQ'ed for excessive holding.

        I don't care about all them clinches. I have to laugh at the complainers. That's on Joe to kabosh that. See, when Floyd fought Hatton, he ultimately took care of business and negated the rough housing with his own and countering. Be mad at Joe for not showing the ring smarts to deal with Bernard's guile. If Hopkins was just a year or two younger he would've had the energy to win outright.

            Here's some stats for you. I counted the clinches playing the video at 2x speed (it's hard work watching this snoozefest) but the numbers should be accurate. There were quite a number of times Hopkins tried to hold but failed. These failed attempts are, of course, not counted. Near the end of round 11, Hopkins tried to bait Calzaghe into a brawl, so Calzaghe came forward... and they clinched. LOL.


            Round 01: 3
            Round 02: 12
            Round 03: 14
            Round 04: 16
            Round 05: 12
            Round 06: 16
            Round 07: 14
            Round 08: 13
            Round 09: 12
            Round 10: 15
            Round 11: 15
            Round 12: 18

            Total = 160



            Even more clinches in this fight than Hopkins against Winky Wright (127). Is it any wonder why Calzaghe looked like crap in this fight?
            you actually have that much time on your hands to count the hugs / round?

                WTF dude. I just copied what you wrote and span it around, yet you say "typical response".

                Are you this ******? Really?

                    Mayweather initiated a lot of the clinching against Hatton.
