Finally hopkins found his match, he bullied tito,winky,oscar, how about facing someone your own size hell, hopkins is still bigger than joe and still joe was the one pressuring the fight,and those "low blows" it was obvious they did not land with any force whatsoever, as soon cortez said fight he miraculosley recovered a sign he was faking,he was even linping:-( ,and don't come with that **** hopkins is 43 cause if they fought 4 years ago then joe would've been 32 younger and fresher,is not the same beating welterweights than fighting someone your own size.:hi: :hi: :hi: bye, bye executioner
No worse than Hatton during is fight with Zoo where the ref takes a point away. Hatton pulls a ***** move retaliates and it is ok.
IMO bernard was looking for a point deduction . but after a few secs when this was not forthcoming it got embarringsing, especially when replays showed all it was , was a light push with calzaghe`s wright . tried it again in the 11th. cannot ever remember hopkins doing that in any fight before. i remember v echolls , hopkins virtulaly disclocated his shoulder , but pushed the doctor out of his way determined to continue. i forget the mills lane push n/c incident.
Who knows, maybe it really did hurt, comon even a slap could hurt like **** :yep, but yeah it sure did looked like he faked it bigtime
