That's an easy question to answer.. If you have ever played any sport before in your life, you shouldn't even have to ask this question. Why would Hopkins EVER take his foot off the gas and not try to win the fight any way possible? If you're winning 10-0 in a baseball game, is it wrong to score more runs?
ESPECIALLY in boxing, you NEVER know with the judges. You have to do anything you can do win. You MAY ALMOST had a case if B-Hop wasn't known for his antics. But he always does those types of things. If you remember, Kelly Pavlik almost low blowed BHOP in their fight because he was getting desperate.. BHOPS antics in Joe's fight were not out of desperation, that's simply just Hopkins.
He was trying to do everything he could to win the fight.. I think thats the point.
I've flopped in a basketball game to take a charge and get the call. I've flopped dramatically when someone almost tripped me in hockey to get a power play. It's all part of the game.
I know that it wasn't a low blow, it was obvious, but Hopkins sold it to the ref and took the breather that the ref gave him. It may be a punk move, but it's smart as hell if you ask me. If JC did that, i'd say the same thing, and i dislike JC. You're just saying it because it's Hopkins. But there are a very small crop of neutral minded people here, so it's understandable.
[quote=Drago;685958]Hopkins was winning. Calzaghe hit him low. Hopkins went down from the pain. If you ever fought before you would know how much a low blow hurts.
Exactly! He's never faked a low blow before. Cuz he ain't that type of fighter. Hopkins said he got hit low. Than he got hit low.
Oh wise up!
Hopkins never fought anyone who could push him like Calzaghe could, thats why he looked for a rest![]()
