    It was an easy fight to score.
    I gave Popkins 2 rounds. Round 1 and 10 (which he faked a knock down)
    Other than that it was a fairly easy fight to score, Joe threw and landed more virtually every round.
    The reason why the score cards were so close is because of the American judges.

      Joe threw and landed more virtually every round.
      Go back and watch round 2, for example, and tell me how Hopkins was outlanded.

      Hopkins landed a nice counter left at 1:55 and a straight right at 1:28. There were also a couple other shots that I couldn't tell if they landed or not because of the camera angle but I will say that there is no way Calzaghe landed more then 1 punch if any at all and with the exception of a couple taps while clinching.

        You're saying I'm calling people haters? I don't understand your post.

          Funny there was no actual constructive reply challenging any of the points on pages 3/4 pretty much. Just saying opionated crap to a post, outlining what most agree with on Hops making all fighters look bad against him, inclusive of Joe. Interesting. You starting to sound like there was a conspiracy, rather than accept any point against your view point.

          Then some red karma saying hypocrite. Strange you'd accuse that. Your criticising for not backing up posts and being aggressive, oddly that's clearly what your doing. You then just react with aggression and name calling rather than challenging any of the points. That's because you can't argue with them with any constructive points, that aren't just serious opinion, which most disagree with.

            It did indeed get a bit aggro back there didn't it? On the pages you mention I didn't see many posts in Calzaghe's favour say anything rude or offensive at all. In fact, as you say, most were just ordinary boxing opinions backed up by arguments about the styles of the boxers and the facts of the fight.
