Calzaghe wins! by Split Decision!

Thats crazy! but kudos to him for working hard but I really felt after the first round Hopkins had it!

Yeah I was shaking for the first few rounds after Joe got caught. He was being very cautious and hardly throwing at all, and even when he was he seemed to be getting countered a lot.

Then he started to kick in around round 5, and from then on it was his fight no question. Bernard caught him with the bigger punches, as he reminded us in his interview, but Joe had the combinations and the number, and that's what counts! He also showed he has a great chin, and a superb heart. It was a unanimous win for me. Joe earned that.

Wonder who's next for Joe?

First boxing match I've watched in ages. Tell you the truth I was rather anoyed with Hopkins, allways going for the hug and trying to regain some time by claiming low blow a few times.

its because he is a girl... i wonder how he enjoyed losing to a white boy...

As the rounds went on you can see that old father time was catching up with Hopkins so thats why he was doing it.

Calzaghe is saying Roy Jones JR next...could be interesting.

The fight turned out worse than I thought it would be. Hopkins just wasn't throwing enough and Calzaghe slaps/hits like a woman. I'd take Tarver over either one. Jones would be too fast for Cal. I don't think Jones killed anybody recently that has a pulse.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
