How can anyone definitively say that Hopkins faked those low blows?

It landed mainly on the weist line and it was really a light-slap if you call Joe a slapper. Hopkins tried to buy time and force a point deduction but Cortez was alert of these tactics and didn't even let Hopkins rest in the 11th when he played the low-blow card again.

B-hop didn't say that it was the power of the shot that caused him pain, it was the fact that it "made his junk slip outside the cip". If this is true, any of you who ever played any sport in your life should know that when this happens it is not the most comfortable feeling.

 

Also for the 2nd low blow claim, the one in the 11th (which was really a phantom punch since there's no video proof of a low blow), I'll copy the rules of the WBO. I believe the rule is the same in any other organiztations as well as the ABC and NSAC.

"In the event a contestant claims a low blow and throws himself on the floor or otherwise indicate his unwillingness to continue the fight when the Referee has not determined there was a low-blow, the knockdown judge and the Referee shall immediately begin the count and should the claiming boxer not resume the fight before the count of ten (10), he shall be declared the loser by KO (Knockout)."

Of course Hopkins never threw himself down, because if he did, Cortez should've started counting. But he indicated his unwillingness to continue despite Cortez never ruled it a low blow = Cortez should've started counting according to the rules.

 

Ok I always suspected you were just a biased *****, now I know it.

Hit in the balls? atsch Not unless his balls are about 6 inches below his belly button.

Everyone can see that the blow (which wasn't even a blow really anyway) 'landed' nowhere near his balls.

Watch it again please 10 times, then repeat to yourself 'I am a *****' 10 times and you will feel better about your lies.

I felt embarassed for Bernard when it happened (the bull**** faking afterwards) and now I feel embarassed for you as well.

 

He should hide his face in shame...................unless his junk is situated upside down & just below his belly button he was bullshittin' to buy some air time.

 

Watch it again without Bernie's crusty old nutsack blocking your view! :good

 

It was a clear low blow.

And you don't have to get hit at the crotch to feel the pain.

There is a reason why punches below the belt are not allowed.
