    Calzaghe: Low blow deliberate!
    Joe says Hopkins is a cheat
    WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe admitted to the London Daily Mail that he intentionally hit Bernard Hopkins low in the second round of their fight Saturday, but says Hopkins was faking it in the tenth when he went to the canvas from an apparent light shot below the belt from the Welshman. "What a crap actor," said Calzaghe. "He looked like he'd been shot in the balls, not hit. When I hit him there in the second round, that was proper deliberate. He'd knocked me down in the first so I had to give him a dig, didn't I? But the tenth — that was a lie, that one.....he's a cheat. He took three minutes off when I didn't touch him and he needed a rest. Joe Cortez should have been firmer. Hopkins is just a spoilt little girl, isn't he?"
    Calzaghe also told the Mail, "I felt all along [Hopkins] was all mouth. He was a bully and they don't like being bullied. I could tell at the weigh-in he was worried. I said to him, 'This is your last fight, this is the end for you now' and he didn't say anything at all."

    A pro will exploit any advantage he can; A cut, Swelling, A broken rib.

    A pro will also break the rules if he is allowed get away with it.

    We saw this from both sides.

    It's part of the sport. I don't blame him. Look at my man BHop? Lunges with his head, turns you away from the ref and hit's on the hip, rubs his head into yours on a clinch... Call it dirty... Call it what you will but if you look you'll see only the most skilled fighters can get away with it... Only the most crafty. It's a type of skill in boxing.

    These boxing news sites deliberately take comments out of context just to create forum barneys.. it must be so

    Although it is kinda ironic Calzaghe accuses Hopkins of cheating yet is boasting about trying to bash his goolies....

    And technically getting tapped in the balls but making people think you've been shot in them makes you a good actor not a crap one.

    So Joe is admitting he intentionally low blowed Hopkins just because he was embarassed he got put on the floor in the 1st round? That is somewhat cowardly in my eyes. Pretty sad when a guy gets legit knocked down and then says he retaliated unfairly just to get his dig in Then again, Hopkins is no angel of goodness.

    I want a rematch

    The only shame is he did not hit Hopkins in the balls harder. I want to see one of those blatant, deliberate wind up power low blows ala Hatton-Tszyu. Not a little slap on the belt line. What a waste!


    Oddly, I thought it looked very unintentional when I watched it, even on the replays.

    I think it was unintentional if you ask me... He's trying to sound a little harder then he is.

    If Hopkins had`ve fought a clean fight then the low blows would have been out of order. But Hopkins wanted to fight rough and intimidate Calzaghe. If Calzaghe hadnt`ve roughed Hopkins up it would have given Hopkins extra confidence as Calzaghe would have appeared timid.
    Calzaghe bullied Hopkins back and from the 10th round Hopkins was looking extremely uncomfortable.

    I definitly agree... Calzaghe after begining to assert himself began to land with regularity... Although I hate his style and the way he slaps, he got a bunch of decent blows on my boy in the later rounds.

    Hop did look uncomfortable once Joe found his groove. He did a good job keeping the energy up in an energy killer's ring.

    JC won convincingly and now the majority of the Americans are making like 300 threads to discredit JC. Is really frustrating watching all this nonsense sore losers crap. Admit it and move on.

    Even I picked B-Hop to win but it did not happened

    I don't really see us Americans discreditting Joe... My post above yours was just the opposite...

    I don't really see many others doing it either.

    I wouldn't say that was as "convicing" as you make it sound.

    Although I had Joe winning it was only by 1 pt

    I'm with you on this P.O.B.

    I thought the same thing.

    That was not intentional by Joe. Why waste a foul shot and do it lightly when he could have really knocked the piss out of Hopkins with a good one?

    It was a stray punch that just grazed him and Hopkins used it to buy himself some time as he was exhausted.


    EDIT OK I cannot even remember the second round low blow. I was referring to the 10th round one in my post.
