Hopkins faking the nut jobs hurt him in my opinion

Hopkins is a disgrace to boxing. He uses his head and elbows and then tries to fake that hes tired. Not a cool look at all. I like his affliction t-shirt though lol. Yea I think he ended up doing more harm than good with the acting from the low blows. Calzhage did play the crowd with his acting too but that's just him. He got into his rhythm and that was it. And on a side note, yea the Affliction stuff is pretty cool. The shirt in my avatar is the same one Margarito was wearing before and after his second fight with Cintron.

I don't think it really hurt him because he was losing the round anyway. He looked like he was getting tired and couldn't keep up with the pressure and swarming sloppiness of Calzaghe's attack. If he hadn't sold his way into that breather, maybe Calzaghe would have been able to do some damage. Clever way to get out of the situation, but it made him look like an ass when they called him on it after the fight. I also wish Hopkins had KO'd Kellerman for being a dick.

It was a clever rest period. I doubt that it fooled anyone though.

Heh, Hopkins needed that break so bad, he was completely winded. And then he tried to get away with that other low blow and Cortez wouldn't take the bait. Hopkins felt his age in this one.

i agree completely he was absolutely faking. It was a low blow and im sure it hurt, but he took like 2 minutes. He was EXHAUSTED and needed the break badly. He showed his age at the end there. The old Hopkins never got tired, not even after kicking the living crap outta trinidad for 11 rounds exactly, he was going to get ktfo out, he was swinging wildly and tiring badly

The old Hopkins never got tired, not even after kicking the living crap outta trinidad for 11 rounds yeah but this aint the 90's anymore. we now have to look forward to brits thinkin they have better fighters than us.
