There were other illegal blows that were so blatant that even those who were sleeping in their seats saw it. Admit it, there were glaring ones that Cortez just let be.
Hopkins was clearly dramatizing in there. Fair play to Cortez for not falling for it and docking points rashly. But there really were no low blows from Joe. Just a glancing touch to the groin the first time out!

Hopkins was dirty but we were all expecting that.

The fights over and Calzaghe got his win. Just enjoy it.
