    Rewatching Hopkins-Calzaghe. RBR Scoring.

    10-8 Hopkins (Calzaghe down Rd 1)
    20-17
    29-27
    39-36
    48-46
    57-56
    67-65
    76-75
    85-85
    95-94
    104-104
    114-113 Calzaghe.

    Such a tough fight to score. So many swing rounds. I felt that rounds 2, 3, 4, 7, 11 and 12 were all extremely close.

    It was a classic case of effective punches landed vs volume of punches landed.

      Terrible fight. It was funny that Joe thinks it's one of his best nights yet everyone in the UK Sky studio on the night thought he lost lol.

          Did they really? Sky’s coverage was far more impartial back then.

            Typical Hopkins. I was at the Pascal/Hopkins fight and he tried to play off each KD as a slip.

              Give Hopkins an inch and he’ll take a mile. He’s had so many controversial or crazy moments both in and out the ring.
