lol yeah though will he fight both if he beats one of them because of the money, fame and glamour that came with that fight?! think joe enjoyed the camera a bit too much

hopkins didnt even acknowledge that joe did the most punches ever landed on him by a fighter; and how long has hopkins been going??

good fight and i think hopkins deserves an oscar

Well done Joe, da iawn bach Still undeafeated!!

What a man, what a fighter, what a Welshman

Bring on Roy Jones!!

Was a shocking fight not worthy of the hype. Hopkins did what we knew he would, he spoiled every round, he did land the better, cleaner punches but too few.

All in all best forgotten Joe, so it's a case of NEXT! and lets hope he doesn't fight as poorly again.

Well what can i say?, it wasn't anything unexpected, a dirty game plan by hopkins as always, but the grit and determination of joe got him through as always.

The first round wasn't a good one for him, was a clean shot from hopkins, but although he went down (Calzaghe) he took it well he got straight up and carried on battling like a true champion, i personally thought it was all Hopkins up until the 4th round when Calzaghe started to open Hopkins up a little bit with his jabs.

In the last 4-5 round i thought Hokins got petty, with the 'low-blow' that just clearly wasn't, it hit just below the belt line and to take a 2 minute breather for that was ridiculous but unfortunately it's in the rule book and he was entitled to have 5 minutes to recover, and again in the next round i think he faked another low blow, it was obvious what his plan was he was slowing the fight down and keep joe down to a steady pace, but credit to him he ket fighting his fight although it didn't seem that way

but Joe did well, his first fight in USA, but not only his first fight there, his first fight as a light heavyweight. I think his next fight will be either Roy Jones, or if not that, then a possibl rematch with Hopkins in Wales?, i wouldn't write Hopkins out yet as he will want to prove he aint a loser (but he is ) not that i think he'll come away from the states to fight but it's possible... or even a fight with Antonio Tarver?

niether deserved to win, awful fight, but someone had to win so glad it was calzaghe

just watched it and it was rubbish!! but glad joe won!

Finally got the chance to post about the fight.

Personally, i thought Hopkins was a bit dirty, Calzaghe and his Pelvis movements were brilliant!!! I would have gave him the win just for that.

All in all, it was a fairly disappointing fight, i was expecting more than 1 knock down.
Ah well, it had it's moments and i'm glad Calzaghe is still undefeated.

Lol did you watch it

Joe did deserved it though. If Hopkins had won it (thank god he never), he wouldnt have deserved it. Dirty as. I was going mad at him!

Joe did box well. It wasnt a fight as much but he was boxing him. Lol if that makes sense!

Everytime Joe would go to Hopkins he would do something to slow him down or stop him by headlock or holding on!

Yeah i do agree Hopkins had about two (no not those two cheap shots!) very good hits on Joe, one being the knock down.

It wasnt as bad as some people are saying bacause we all knew what Hopkins is like. Joe did the best he could against a guy who had dirty tactics, especially when he knew he was going to lose. So credit to Joe for the clever boxing.

Like i said in earlier post Hopkins didnt even acknowledge that joe did the most punches ever landed on him by a fighter. That is saying something!

Hopkins is such a sore loser, he needs to get over himself lol. He lost to a welsh person, surely that can't be so bad? *shudders and looks at the_goonies*..haha.

Nah im joking lol..well done mate

am glad i watched it this afternoon because if i stayed up till 3am to watch that the tv would be lyin in the front garden!!

thank you sky+!!!

Lol at the two posts above

Though I did miss two rounds because I lost my link and my I.E closed so I might have missed something.

Also credit to Joe for not saying something to all the comments Hopkins had been saying.

Hopefully Jones will be better match up and I think it will be. The guy has respect!

Didn't see it sky plussed it at brother in law burt he deleted it already

So anyone want to walk me through the fight ?

all you missed was joe going down in the first , hopkins getting "sore" 's calzaghe doing some interesting thrusts (americans didnt approve) then after that it was quite boring!

For anyone that missed it I heard the BBC are going to show it on sunday. Not sure what time though
