Had a nap at half-nine so I could rise for this. Was slightly over-careful, as I set my alarm for two. Cue Audley Harrison and some idiot having a fight as though trapped in amber. Thankfully over in the fifth, when Harrison landed two body shots after he was hit in the face and decided he didn't like it. Can David Haye not just put on some weight and kill him now?

Main event was a weird one. 'Ray J' or whatever the dummy was called is a shit singer. Really bad. I am not a fan of Tom Jones, nor a patriot. Nor Welsh, for that matter, but Jones killed him. Loved the 'are we on?' professionalism too. Was really scared when the first round knockdown happened. Figured we were in for a long night. And we were.

Hopkins is a crafty veteran, to say the least, and was definitely the ring general here. Very surprised at the result, as I thought it was close enough that American judges would have sided with Nard. I guess they went with the bloke who was showing more aggression, more of a will to have a clean fight (and bum people) and who was actually moving forward (as the commentators saw fit to tell us every few seconds). Joe was lucky. Very lucky. That said, Hopkins is a sore loser.
