        Completely different level it is, that saw Hamed a very good fighter get owned by Barrera.
        To be fair, he beat Bhop. Bhop who still looks good at 43/44. And calzaghe was not a young man when he met Bhop. Bhop is still P4P today. And I'm a bigger fan of Sonsona than Calzaghe. . Marvin just need to move up the scales. IMO, he got a gift draw in his last defense.

            B Hop is still not an elite fighter like he was and Calzaghe struggled badly and did not win the fight imo. I scored it a draw cause neither was effective enough to win.


            Calzaghe has NEVER! proven he is capable of beating an elite fighter in their prime, its either B class opposition or past prime elite fighters who used! to be elite but have now come down a class due to age.


            Sonsona did not get a gift at all.

            ------------------------------------------------------


            Sonsona vs Alejandro Hernandez

            Round 1 Sonsona

            Sonsona showed his speed landed an earlier right hook straight left, then mid round
            Sonsona landed a straight left hand and an uppercut toward the end.

            Round 2 Sonsona
            Sonsona landed two counter uppercut and a straight left toward the end

            Round 3 Hernandez
            Hernandez put the pressure on Sonsona this round, he managed to go to Sonsona's body
            and pinned Sonsona on the ropes at one point.

            Round 4 Sonsona

            Hernandez started well by going to the body and bringing his shot back
            up top but Sonsona started to take over mid round with his aggression and
            straight left hand to the body and head, at one point Sonsona had Hernandez
            pinned in the corner, Sonsona did get caught with a good right hook right at
            the end where some people may have seen Hernandez pinching the round but
            i still went for Sonsona, so to did Russ Anber

            Round 5 Hernandez
            Best round for Hernandez. Hernanandez pressured Sonsona throughout
            went to the body and landed a number of clean punches on Sonsona when
            he trapped him on the ropes


            Round 6 Hernandez

            Sonsona was having a decent round but he stepped off the gas toward the
            end and let Hernandez back in to take the round. Sonsona the hunter in the early part of the round
            became the hunted when he let Hernandez back him up, Hernandez rocked Sonsona mid round with a
            right hook. Sonsona is best on the front foot pressuring Hernandez but he keeps letting Hernandez back him
            up. To Sonsona's credit he did hurt Hernandez to the body
            in this round

            Round 7 Sonsona
            sonsona landed a right hook early in the round that seemed to stun Hernandez and put him off
            balance momentarily. I gave it to Sonsana on the power shots that he landed, he landed with the uppercut and dug
            some hard shots to the body.

            Round 8 Sonsona
            Better round for Sonsona he pressured Hernandez and hit Hernandez hard to the body and pinned him on the
            ropes for the most part, Henandez landed some good shots to but he was a little inactive

            Round 9 Sonsona
            Both scored punches in this round and the round was on the table up for grabs but Sonsona manged
            to nail Hernandez with a hard combo that tipped the round his way imo. Russ Anber has also given
            Sonsona the last 3 rounds.

            Round 10 Hernandez

            Good round for Hernandez, Sonsona was in control but Hernandez took over mid round and put
            him on the backfoot, pressured him and landed some good shots. If Hernandez is losing this fight its because
            of his lack of consistency, Sonsona has been more active in the mid to late rounds.

            Round 11 Hernandez
            Very good round for Hernandez, he nailed Sonsona a few times here. Sonsona looks like he is tiring and
            making the weight could be taking its toll on him. Hernandez pressued him througout this round

            Round 12 Hernandez
            Another excellent round for Hernandez. Sonsona did not do much and Hernandez was all over him like a
            rash pressuring him and going to the body thourghout. Sonsona was getting nailed clean at the end of the
            fight.



            Sonsona caught too many clean shots for my liking, but in the mid to late rounds 7 through 9 he showed his
            heart by coming back whilst Hernandez took his foot off the gas, it might have cost him the fight to. Herandez
            came back strong in the late rounds and Sonsona did looked tired (possibly making the weight starting
            to effect his performance) but there was too many of those middle rounds between 7-9 where Hernandez
            was not consistent enough with his attack. Who knows what would of happened if Hernandez had the right
            footwear from round one, maybe he does not lose round 1 & 2 and wins the fight. Hernandez had the wrong
            footwear on and had to change his shoes inbetween round because he was slipping on the canvas badly. q
            When Hernandez changed his shoes he won the very next round.Henandez managed to rock Sonsona
            in round 6 but Hernandez was rocked himself in round 7.

            I noticed in the Lopez vs Sonsona fight how Sonsona had trouble when pressured and it was the same
            story here. When Sonsona was the aggressor forcing Hernandez back he was effective, but when he was pressured
            by Hernandez he got trapped on ropes and caught on tail end of too many shots.

                    Calzaghe just got 3rd best fighter of the decade by this site.

                    Where did Winky come?


                    Seriously, these polls are ****** at times, and it's even more frightening to see the poll results.

                    The polls might as-well always be titled,

                    "Which fighter do you prefer?"
