"He looked like he'd been shot in the balls"

[CFH]

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

While I agree it is a bit cowardly, I think it's more an example of fighting fire with fire than anything else. Calzaghe knew Hopkins was going to be as dirty as he could, and he probably just wanted to show B-Hop that he could bully him back.

Yeah, I get what most are saying, that's why I said Hopkins is no angel himself....by any means

If he would of kicked him in the balls, that would have been different

That would've been hilarious, probably would've been the most exciting part of the fight.
On a related note, did you guys find it to be a good fight? I found it very technical and somewhat lacking in action, aside from when Hopkins was able to land the right hand. I ask that because I was listening to sports radio at work yesterday, and one of the guys was talking about how he thought it was "a great fight"
