    usually a decision is not overturned after the decision was made immediately after the fight.

    Duke McKenzie (retired three-division champ from Britain) thinks he shouldn't. :think What do you say there?

    Hopkins has made many millions; I'm not sure that hear earned them tonight with five minutes of work and then either a real injury that was stupidly self-inflicted by not protecting himself better as he fell (or you know, not climbing an opponent's back to begin with and creating the situation where you get thrown off) OR an out-and-out quit job predicated on a made-up injury.

    They both can definitely be labeled an accidental foul. As far as I'm concerned, Cintron jumping out of the ring is more of a self induced injury than Hopkins getting shrugged to the ground by Dawson. We all know Cintron was fine. Hopkins we suspect is faking. Either, he didn't launch himself out of the ring.
     
  5. fighters shrug or lift up all the time in boxing you cant lean or jump on a boxers back its not mma if B hop got hurt its his own fault chad did nothing wrong and thats why he won

    I said he grabbed behind his leg, not his foot, but good job highlighting and underlining something i didn't say.

    1) He placed his hand behind Hopkins right leg. Had Hopkins been trying to knee Dawson, Chad having his hand behind his leg wouldn't have prevented any forward moment on his leg now would it? Your "he was trying to brutally knee him in his internal organs" bull**** is hilarious though.

    2) What placing his hand behind Hopkins leg did is prevent Hopkins from pulling his leg back into position in time and get his foot down to stop him from falling. You don't seem to get that. Had his hand not been there Hopkins could have landed on his foot and stayed up.

    I am annoyed with Hopkins tactics as much as the rest. One shot, launch in with the head. But he's trying to punch at Chad, he's not just purposely leaning on his opponent like Wlad K does. Hopkins momentum wouldn't allow him not to. I know, his tactics are questionable.

    Cintron diving out wasn't a foul. That was improperly handled.

    Cintron couldn't continue, so Williams should have been awarded a TKO.

    Fighter A can't continue during a round in progress (for any reason except a foul committed by Fighter B) = TKO

    Fighter A can't continue between rounds (for any reason except a foul committed by Fighter B) = RTD

    Plain and simple. The TD rule, going to the cards (or a No Contest before 3 or 4 rounds, whatever the commission dictates) should only apply where cuts or other injuries from accidental fouls are involved. (where flagrant fouls causing injury should be a DQ win for the guy who can't continue)

    When there's no foul, and a guy just suffers a fluke injury or medical hardship of any sort...he can't continue...that isn't the opponent's fault or problem. The guy who can't go on loses by TKO. That's how it should be.

    Hopkins is smart. Regardless, for him to pull that stuff when fans go to the fight and pay PPV is a disgrace. And he tried that when he fought Jones in the rematch. He will do anything for an edge, even if it means quitting at the right time. He didn't really go down that hard. I remember seeing Hearns vs. Randy Sheilds in 1981 and Shields threw a right hand and caught Tommy on his back and Tommy went down hard, but not from a punch. The ref called it a knockdown. Tommy was not hurt and kept fighting, but he was winning the fight.

    I'd like to see gifs. I didn't see it many times but I thought I saw Dawson grab at a leg. Someone clarify this.
