There's no way Joe lost that fight. After the early rounds,Joe took over. B Hop was being backed up,against the ropes,against hiswill. Joe threw more,landed more and was the agressor.B Hop's game plan was to stay in the middle of the ring,when he did that,he did well. He stopped doing that,stopped throwing punches and lost.Period. And I thought B Hop going down from the phnatom low blow was a joke lol!

It was a close, sloppy fight on both sides, but I thought Joe won. Bernard did well for the first half, but his "clean, effective" punches were fewer and more far between as the fight went on. Frankly, I thought Bernard deserved to lose just for that phantom low blow BS. Way to act like a true champion Bernard. Somebody criticized Kellerman for taking him to task for that, but I think somebody had to do it. Why do people think that these dirty fighters shouldn't be held accountable for that crap?

Well said bro, that crap was disgraceful in my view, the shot was nowhere near the place down there where it really hurt, but i think Joe let his frustration with his shenanigans there too. Neither came out of that incident particularly well, but I agree that the question had to be asked.

Yup. If anything, Bernard should have given Joe a kiss after that "low blow" seeing as it was more like a tickle than a punch. I'll bet the Nard was secretly aroused.

After just watching the replay, I have to say that neither guy impressed me that much. I thought Joe barely squeaked out the W but he looked pretty bad doing it. He could have let his hands go a lot more to win decisively but he seemed a bit gunshy. Bernard was Bernard, he did what he does. As it is, I wouldn't call it a robbery, but I think a draw wouldn't have been inconceivable either.

I had Joe winning but I just don't like the pitty pat punches. The pro's score clean EFFECTIVE punches those didn't look effective to me. That is the thing about boxing it's all perception, I can see how someone scored it for B-Hop, his punches were fewer but by far more effective. Hopkins did himself in he could have won if he threw caution to the wind. Unless Joe's punches really were hurting him, which would be deceptive because it didn't look that way to me. RJJ may be a better fight to watch because Roy is more offensive minded.
