    Just watched Calzaghe vs Hopkins

    How can anybody call that a robbery?
    I understand if some people thought Hopkins won by a point or two, but a robbery? come on. How can anyone be pissed they scored it for Calzaghe, He clearly made Hop tired and stayed on the aggresive. It was a very close fight that could have gone either way. I had it 115 -112 for Calzaghe

      I had the exact same score when I watched a vid of it for the 1st time 2 years after it took place, ppl are crazy calling that a robbery.

            It's just because Americans don't have anything on Calzaghe besides crying about robbery in Hopkins-Calzaghe fight. They can't handle the fact that their great fighter lost to white boy from Britain.

              I'm from the united states and I also thought Calzaghe won the fight. It was a close fight but I thought Joe did more to win the fight
              cheers

                One of the biggest false controversies in history.

                  Found it a hard fight to score... do you score six solid, accurate punches a round or fifty slaps?

                  I guess Joe impressed the judges with slaprate.

                  One thing though... I do believe that Bore Hard was legitimately KD'd at least one of the two times, and did his thing to cover it.

                  Joe looked bad at times, but no other fighter has pretended to sodomise Hopkins.
