Calzaghe wins by split decision LAS VEGAS (Ticker) - Joe Calzaghe battled back from a stunning first-round knockdown on Saturday to score a disputed split decision victory over Bernard Hopkins and reign as the best light heavyweight in the world. Webmasters, make money displaying Oxado contextual ads! Calzaghe (45-0, 32 KOs) extended his unbeaten record but only after by far the toughest test of his career against 43-year-old Hopkins (48-5-1, 32 KOs), whose big right hand had got him off to a flying start. But the brilliant Welshman fought back strongly in the second half of a fight which was marked by frantic exchanges and touched by controversy when Hopkins claimed a low blow in the 10th round. Judge Adalaide Byrd thought Hopkins had done enough to edge a 114-113 verdict but Chuck Giampa (116-111) and Ted Gimza (115-112) both scored in favor of Calzaghe ’s excellent second half of the fight. “I fought really hard tonight,” Calzaghe said. “As the fight wore on, I had to really let my punches go. He was very defensive. A win is a win. I was only hurt once and he never caught me with a cleanpunch. “That knockdown was a slip, but it was one of the toughest fights of my career. I’m very proud to have been the one to have landed the most punches on Hopkins in his career. Calzaghe paused a moment before continuing. “It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t my best night but I know I won,” he said. “It’s my second world title in a second division and I am in America. It is the icing on the cake for my career.” Calzaghe ’s win gave him the Ring magazine’s version of the lightweight title to add to the undisputed super-middleweight crown he still owns. And it will also bring him the global recognition he claims. But he had to work for that recognition
He didn't say it was his hardest fight.Comment

It's not as if Calzaghe has never changed his mind about something before...Comment
