    He did get hit in the nuts, that is not debatable. Multiple times. Calzaghe admitted this. The only thing you can question is the amount of pain bhop was in during the last low blow. You can question if he was that hurt or not. But that's not dirty, at the very worst, it's buying time to catch your breathe or whatever. Like I said, other than the clinching there wasn't any deliberate dirty tactics. In fact, calzaghe fought a bit more dirty with the rabbit punches and the deliberate low blows (in calzaghe's own words, he low blowed him as "payback" for the knockdown).

    My point was to counter what the guy said, making it seem like the only way bhop wins is because of dirty tactics, when clearly he wins on skill. He didn't fight pavlik dirty, or tarver, he whooped their asses with skill.

      Screw New Jersey. The only two places that should be talked about are MSG and the United Center in Chicago.

        I thought he fought dirty in that fight, BHOP is a dirty fighter who gets away with a lot of ****. I could understand you see it differently cause you like him.

          Right now Adamek is looking real good for B-Hop to jump up in weight to face him is a real ballsy move. Take note all you sissy champions this is how its done.

            I didn't see anything dirty, he clinched a lot but I thought that was the right strategy against calzaghe to slow down his best asset which is his output.

                how is Adamek made to order??? Everyone complains bhop fights smaller fighters now here he is once again going up in weight to fight the best opponent in that weight class. Adamek has a serious chance and I'm sure will be the favorite to win

                      Its a win win situation. Hop just made a name for Adamek by beating him.

                      Kind of like what Joe Calzaghe did to Lacy, Kessler, and Manfredo. A bunch of guys that no one knew until they fought Joe and lost.

                      He's basically selling his belt to Hop to make a name for himself. Good for Hop, something else to add to the legacy

                      Hop UD.
