i dont get these claims that cortez was letting hopkins get away with shit




most of the clinching was initiated from calzaghes sloppy girl punching style, he would lunge in and hopkins would evade his punches causing calzaghe to spastically throw shots and end up being tangled with hopkins




they both utilized headlocks




a low blow is an illegal maneuver even if it doesnt hit u dead on in the balls so if he wanted to be a dick he could have easily deducted points from calzaghe






-----------------------

anyway calzaghe barely landed anything in that fight, the majority of the shots he threw hit hopkins in the arms/back or missed him completely



when he did land he was ineffective



each time he decided to trade hopkins would get off at least 1 hard shot and calzaghe would rethink trading



he really did look like an amateur in that fight


even if for whatever re3ason u think calzaghe won that fight u have to be able to understand why people feel he looked like an amateur, he was INCREDIBLY sloppy and was countered a huge amount of times
