Hopkins-Pavlik was worse than Calzaghe-Lacy.

    Hopkins was a 4 to 1 underdog, only about 3 of the journalists off this website picked him to win, out of around 20.

    In a non-title light heavyweight shocker, 43-year-old former middleweight champion and ring legend Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KOs) stunned previously unbeaten, current WBC/WBO world middleweight champion, and 4:1 betting favorite Kelly Pavlick (34-1, 30 KOs) taking a one-sided twelve round unanimous decision on Saturday night before 11,332 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Hopkins looked like the younger fighter as he consistently beat the 26-year-old Pavlik to the punch. Pavlik never got into a rhythm as Hopkins punished him the entire way. Scores were 119-106, 118-108, 117-109. Since the contract weight was 170 lbs., Pavlik remains WBC/WBO middleweight champion.
    not sure how that compares to Calzaghe-Lacy.

        FACT: 32 out of 33 American boxing pundits predicted a Lacy win.

        So please shut the f**k up.

        Pavlik-Hopkins = boxing clinic.

        Calzaghe-Lacy = complete annihilation.

          Right after Lacy KO Scott Pembletton in 2 rds with an unreal punch, I said, this man is going to murder Calzaghe, then I saw and I was surprised the ref. didn't stopped it. It was a whole different kind of beating. I could only compare it to Pacquiao-Diaz.

            Lacy was actually in a Super Bowl commercial right before the fight, I rememeber.

            He was hyped too, just not as established.

              About 5 journalists on this site picked Calzaghe over Lacy out of about 25 so it's about the same.

              I can't find odds for that fight, I know that Calzaghe was an underdog i Britain as well though.

                It was 8 of 24 BoxingScene journalists, to be exact.

                    so this site gave more of a chance for Calzaghe to win than Hopkins. dunno where those 4 to 1 betting favorite numbers came from for Pavlik, but I dont really think Lacy had that kind of advantage.

                    overall Lacy's beating was worse, but it was actually pretty close. Pavlik was almost gone in that 12th round.

                    They were both quite enjoyable clinics. Ok, Im lying...throughout the whole fight I was saying 'please, please knock him out Pavlik...cmon!!...! go to the body..! ahhh...'

                    but at the same time, it was fun to see all that skill in action. thats boxing for ya.

                      I stand corrected.
