Calzaghe admits punching Hopkins low was deliberate

[Jack08]

there is no soucre, dont worry about these clowns

Bottom line is, even if it was true, so what. The fact is the majority of fighters have done such things, broken the rules a little, yet it often goes un noticed, or even when it is, it's not talked about.

Here we have a pretty minor low blow, which is common, and people are jumping on it, hoping for it to be some kinda excuse to attack Joe or cite as a reason for Hopkins losing.

Lol, it's hilarious, get it together man. Bernard was hitting low, got the legs, faked a low blow, wasted time to his advantage, fought after the bell, lol, like in another league, and people pounce on one thing which is in comprehensively minor by comparison, and rife in boxing. Desperate.

For ****'s sake can't anyone see that this was made up! There is no such paper as the London Daily Mail! There is the Daily Mail, but there hasn't been a London Daily Mail for about a hundrd years!

Big deal. You watch enough boxing and you expect fighters to bend the rules.

Especially against guys like Hopkins.

The source is ********* by the way.

Who got it from the London Daily Mail and cited it as a source.

The arrogance. He's arrogant enough to admit it, like it's something he can do if someone hits him hard enough.

It works for Cotto too, just ask Zab...

According to that site, one of their journalists is 114 years old. It's also a beta site. I'm guessing it's not the most reliable source.

can you not read that person died over 20 years ago wow. also hopkins is 114 and is still in decent shape

Doesn't matter if it's true or not. Nearly every professional fighter has given a **** below the belt intentionally. Usually in retaliation for dirty tactics used by their opponent. In this case it was probably justified. The KD in the first round was from a good punch, followed by a good shove. Not to mention all the low blows from Hopkins throughout the entire fight.
