      Round 10: Hop misses with a right hook. Hopkins backpedaling. Clinch. Hop pulls Cal's head down. Hop goes down from a light low blow on the lower belt line. Hopkins takes his time to recover. Hopkins holding his crotch and grimaces. Must have been a viscous shot because Hopkins takes 3 minutes. No...replay shows nothing significant. Hop just taking a breather. Fight resumes. Cal lands a left hook. Hop lands a soft right and a lowblow. Mutual mualing. Hop lands a straight right. Cal lands a right and two left hands. Both trade insignificant shots. Cal wins round 10 on aggression.

                  No it's not.

                  A missed punch is better than Ring Generalship / Defense?

                    Neither fighter really deserved the win but you gotta give it to Joe for moving forward

                    I was so frustrated with Hopkins. If he increased his punchrate even by just 20% he would have won that fight. When he attacked Joe, he did fine

                    Freddie Roach deserves a kickin for not putting a rocket up Bhops behind

                      Are you smarter today then you were yesterday?
                      Have you learned much about boxing since yesterday?
                      Bought some new glasses since yesterday?

                      Well then, I'm absolutely SHOCKED that you saw the same fight as you did yesterday.
