How controversial was Calazaghe's split decision win over Hopkins?

[Daddy T]

Close fight, could have gone either way, draw probably the best result, I don't think either guy did enough to win but calzaghe getting it is acceptable, hopkins didn't do enough to win.

lol we already got two race mongerers in here saying Calzaghe won. Says everything about this match. Bernard should have never made it racial. Quote from Roy Jones:

Journalist: "Did you feel that Calzaghe won the fight against Bernard Hopkins?"

Roy Jones Jr: "Well, if you tell people that 'ain't no White boy going to beat me' and there's a White judge(s), and it's that close - of course you lost. (laughter by room full of journalists.. As Jones continues..) I mean, for real right? You want the truth right?" (Jones matter of factly shrugs his shoulders)

Jones also said on air that hopkins won.

[I Love Jesus!]

I thought Hop was unlucky, but at the end of the day he took 58 days off pretending a body slap was a low slap, and while he did so, Calzaghe pretended to sodomise him in front of millions.

End of story.

Actually only guys with small wieners can't understand how the low slap could hurt

Very controversial I scored it 115-112 for B-Hop he landed the clean effective punches he buckled Calzaghe 2-3 times with hard right hands on the inside the judges didn't give B-Hop credit for his inside work

refs don't judge fights and you obviusly gave hopkins to much credit for his inside work

I've watched that fight 3 times now. Joe C won minimum 8 rounds/12. B-Hop scored a knockdown which accounts for my scoring of 115-112 for Calzaghe. There was no split decision in that fight,just bad scoring which has always existed and plagued the sport that I love.

I thought Hopkins one, but at the end of the day, Calzaghe got the nod. It was a chit fight, but whatever. Calzaghe didn't prove he's greater than Hopkins at all. There's controversy, but that's just the nature of this sport.

[thuggery]

No controversy at all. Only typical tards from Philly tried to argue otherwise. Hopkins forever holds a loss to a "white boy" whom he claimed he would never lose to. And every time Hopkins wins, Joe's win only gets sweeter.

very, although it's not worth the debate
the fight ******, neither deserved to be LHW champ after that crap
no problem with Calzaghe getting it
but Hopkins coulda gotten it too and that would be fair
woulda preferred Hopkins won it of course, but shit happens

Hopkins was doing damage on the inside landing short hard punches scoring blows that the judges ignored
