hopkins dislocates shoulder - confirmed

It's not a dislocation they are talking about it is a subluxation of then Acromio clavicular joint. Which is often undiagnosed it is so minor. When you look at an x ray of the shoulder it is subjective when you diagnose it. Nowadays an MRI scan is done to do so, something that has not been done on Hopkins. If you show an x ray of a shoulder to 10 doctors they would not all diagnose acj subluxation.

 

Still a disgraceful ruling which I hope to see corrected. Should have been a no contest imo.

 

The point is cobra without the MRI there is no way to confirm the injury even exists. If Dawson is not deemed to have fouled then why should he be punished ? Hopkins has retained his middleweight title after falling, that time as he did not require it a doctor found no injury.

 

I've said it before on here- you could get a doctor to diagnose you with anything- particularly if you pay them.

There is nobody in boxing I respect or support more than Hopkins but that looked like play acting to me last night. However, he has cried wolf so many times in the past that even if he was hurt nobody is going to believe him.

 

Exactly. Solid claimed to have blown his knee after the Vitali fight. He posed in bed with an MRI scan on the cover of boxing news. The MRI was not of a knee ? It was a chest scan

 

I had this injury and it most definitely did show up on an xray. Not that it needed an xray, the end of my collar bone was sticking up at least an inch more than normal. It still sticks up a bit now, and that's about 9 years on.

 

Then clay pole that is an ACJ dislocation, not an ACJ subluxation. What you are saying is on a par with , 'you don't need an x ray to show a broken leg, I had one and the bone was sticking out the skin' . The doctor who looked at Hopkins x ray said the joint space was widened. I know through 15 years experience as a radiologist that to confirm that you would need to do an MRI of both shoulders and compare the measurements. An x ray is not enough, there is magnification involved so you cannot take accurate measurements.

 

Roe no one knows for sure . Injuries do happen if the ref says Dawson was not at fault , the result should stand. A rematch should be ordered

 

The fight should be ruled a No contest, but i know that it won't be

 

Can the ref's original ruling be overturned?:think
Clearly should've been a nc.

 

That's a shitty attitude - Dawson fouled, unintentionally, and Hopkins got injured. That is not how you should win a title. The fair result would be an NC.

 

Agree with this in the term that it should be a NC.

Dawson wins in rematch tho.
