sonoman24 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 This is a fight I've been waiting to see. Unfortunately, not a good start for Calzaghe....down from a clean overhand right by Hopkins in the first. Still think it's going to be a long, tough fight.

sonoman24 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice to see a quality fight like this on HBO, rather than PPV...tough fight so far....fairly even outside of the one knockdown...typical Hopkins fight, pushing the limits of the rules as far as he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoman24 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Split-decision victory for Calzaghe.....typical Vegas judging effort.....they must've slept through half of it or spent too much time talking to celebrities during the fight....Calzaghe landed more punches against Hopkins than anyone ever has...Hopkins (at 43) finally met an opponent who can bend the rules as well as him....impressive effort by Hopkins considering the age, but he was dominated after Round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
