20.04.08 Joe Calzaghe beats Hopkins on split decision
In a scrappy, exciting fight, Joe Calzaghe tonight reigns victorious at Light Heavyweight following his split decision victory over American legend Bernard.
Scores of 115-112, 113-114 and 116-111 sealed the victory for Calzaghe.
However, many observers of the fight believed Hopkins did the classier work and even knocked down Calzaghe in the first round.
The Newbridge man is now regarded as 'The Ring' champion at 175lb.
Roy Jones is likely to be the next opponent, which is widely expected to be held at the Millennium Arena in Cardiff later this year.
