In the end, judges Chuck Giampa (116-111) and Ted Gimza (115-112) scored the fight for Calzaghe, while judge Adalaide Byrd (114-113) scored the fight for Hopkins.

HBO's unofficial ringside judge Harold Lederman scored the bout 116-111 for Calzaghe.

"It was a good fight. I thought Bernard (Hopkins) won though," commented former undisputed Heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson.

Prime vs. Prime this is any man's fight and no Joe was not in his prime those last 2 fights. His hands were completely shot by that point.

I know people act like Hopkins was awful at that point because it suits their agenda, but the reality is that he followed that fight with one of his career best performances and went on to win multiple world title afterward.
