    115-112 is how I scored it also, competitive but clear Hopkins win.

      Thing you're not taking into consideration -
      1. Ring Generalship
      2. Controlling the tempo of the fight
      3. Throwing more shots
      4. Landing more shots


      116-111 is the correct score.

      Ring generalship and controlling the tempo was B-Hop all the way. Joe just followed him eating right hands on the way in and getting busted up and turned in the pocket.
      Joe was throwing, sure but he wasn't landing anything.
      Virtually all of his shots were falling short, behind the back of the head or being parried or blocked.
      He out threw B-Hop but there is noway he outlanded him!

      116-111 Joe is not even possible.

      B-Hop dictated the pace, he decided where the fight went.

        Was a boring fight. I had it 114-113 Hopkins ages ago.

          Absolutely no desire to watch that again, but from memory it was one of those what do you like more fights.... Joes activity and forcing the pace vs Hopkins cleaner punches....I thought a draw would have been the fairest result...but if I had to choose a winner my personal preference goes to cleaner punches so I would side with hop..

                After my most recent re-watch found it hard to hand it to Cal. BHop landed at a higher percentage I think. He made himself ridiculous by the end of the fight though, milking that 'lowblow'. A hard one to score as Calzaghe seems to do hardly anything the first 7 rounds, definitely felt he turned the tide though heading into round 8, made it his fight.

                    I don't remember the round by round but Hopkins clearly landed the better punches. Just throwing and missing with illegal slaps is not winning

                      Rescored it and I will post with a picture easier that way since you had me doubting myself but nope only difference is I had it 116-112 instead of 116-111 to Calzaghe
