Twas a mere tickle. Hopkins extracted urine.

Exactly.

He looks a helluva lot stronger since that rest. Intelligent.

This could get good. Calzaghe needs to KO. Hopkins likes a scrap.

This last round is going to be superb. Hopefully they are going to go toe to toe.

Sounds as though it's Hopkins fight

Richie Woodhall reckons its too close to call......

Wouldn't like to call it - for me Calzaghe was the more energetic but landed fewer quality shots.

Hopkins played that perfectly. It depends on how the judges saw Calzaghes' punches. He landed more but were they worth it?

Tentatively - Hopkins. Hoping, just enough - Calzaghe.

Well i'm £10 down after backing him to win by KO.

Judge 1 scores contest 114 - 113 Hopkins

Judge 2 scores contest 115 - 112 Calzaghe

Judge 3 scores contest 116 - 111

Your winner by split decision

Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe Caaaaaaaaaaaalzaaaaaaaaaaghe

Fookin well done lad. Though where that 116-111 came from only Tom Jones knows.

Result.

I win £45 for that though

thought joe just won it but that 3rd judge

Not a classic by any means, but went exactly how I imagined it would do (barring the knockdown in the 1st)

I had it to Joe by three, even though he struggled all through the fight to get quality shots off, that's Hopkins all over though.

Well done Joe for coming through a difficult night's work.

Watching the Hopkins interview it's hard to believe he lost. Not a mark on his face. Looks like he's just done a 30 minute training session with Dwaine Chambers. For me Hopkins made more impact in that fight, although Joe landed more technical hits.

Calzaghe, you are one lucky if hard working barstard.
