I'm leaning towards putting $50 million on Hopkins. I haven't decided though.
clearly your love for "all things white" has led to this bias synopsisHopkins needs to sit down. Calzaghe handeled his ass. I thought Hopkins might have a chance after the knockdown in the first round, but after the fourth round, it was quite obvious his old ass was getting worn out.
He's 43 years old. He sounds punchy. Please Bernard...stop it.
I am NOT excited about DeLaHoya's next fight. WhoTF is Steve Forbes?

I too watched the fight round by round....and a couple things stuck out to me.......chez whitey neva landed a "clean" shot on Bernard : and neva and I mean neva was Bernard in trouble in that fight... Also ...wudn't Bernard the Champ? I agree he's old and does not have that "crowd pleaser" activity in the ring that he had as a youngsta..but he took chez whitey to school last nite..... he frustrated him ...made him fight his fight and oh did I forget "put him on his ash in the 1st round... that last judge score'n 116-111 in favor of chez whitey was flat out ridiculous.....back in the ole' days ..you used to have to "take" the belt away from the champ....clearly this is a conspiracy to try and preserve the sport as a Calzaghe/Jones card will make the most money in the next year so sitcho love'n "all thinggs white" ash down somewhere :irked:I don't think I was one of the judges last night sooooo I'm not alone in my view. :irked:
Bernard...is that you?

that's the thing... he neva was in a hurry in the 1st place.....he came into the fight with a reputation as a solid counter puncher...and he executed that plan to the fullest....again look at the shots Calzaghe was throw'n....I could've taken those (actually at 6 4' 230...I would have taken them and knock'd boaf dey punk ashes out) they were pity pats for the entire fight..you saw a man lose a title last nite as a result of being outworked....nothing more...nothing less!!: Hopkins got beat homie. He started to slow down around round five. He found a good fight, but Calzaghe just wore him down. Maybe the scores coulda been closer, but Hopkins lost that bout.
I'm sure if there was a blasian/hispanic fighter...you'd be all over it...keep it up Bootleg Saber toof. :irked:
I agree ..but he was the champ and he did drop chez whitey in the 1st round....plus I thought his game plan was effective..against a younger fresher fighter..that 116-111 told me all I needed to know!! Joe Calzaghe did not "take" the title away from Hopkins ...he was given it!!JMOHopkins lost that fight on points. And the fact that he was countering with ONE right hand punch. He kept leading with his head. I didn't see many combos from him either.
It was good NOT to see Larry Merchant there last night. lol
which I thought was brilliant consider'n the man is 43 yrs of age....but what baffles me is how they can landslide the fight against the "champ" when he was never in any danger at anytime in the fight!That's probably true but Hopkins seem to take a few of the middle rounds off. I don't know what that 116-111 judge was thinking. The 3rd, 5th, & 7th rounds could have gone either way.
