If Bernard hadn't cheated and didn't take that 5 minute break

[The Hammer]

Would Calzaghe have been the first boxer to stop Bernard? I think yes, I think Calzaghes body shots were getting to Bernard and that he realized that the nipped to his crotch was a perfect reason to fake a serious low blow so he can buy himself more time and rest.

I agree. Teddy Atlas thinks so too...

[Rkicards]

did Calzaghe land a body punch the entire fight?

Watch the 11 round, Hopkins went down after a right hand body shot.

If I recall, Joe was the one who low blowed Hopkins..technically Hopkins didn't do anything wrong, in the rule books it says...low blow = 5 min of recovery time, even if it didnt appear to be a hard low blow, the rule still applies

I think you probably have Joe Calzaghe's face painted on a few bath house glory holes!

Moron... You should change your name to the God of Calzaghe ball sucking!

[Sin City]

It wouldn't of made a difference..

Lol... really, when is the last time that Teddy Atlas said something predictive about the future that came even remotely close to coming true?

[Hitman932]

no he wouldnt have stopped him, but hopkins is a bum in my book for faking it

ive never in my life seen a boxer take so long for even a super nut shot

[AintGottaClue]

are we talking about round 10 were joe clearly landed a low blow?

[Easy-E]

28 nuthuggers say yes.

Joe didnt even come close to hurting, staggering or wobbling Bernard once in the entire fight.

It may have changed the outcome and made it clearer, however.
