    Those wining bitches moaning like little girls and crying the fall and injury were faked, and Hopkins was looking for a way out share the same Meth pipe.

    No championship fight in the world, in any division should award a win and title based on the outcome of this type of fight.

    The ruling should ONLY be one of the following;

    1) DQ
    2) NC

    With as soon a rematch as possible

    Logic ends HERE.

    Yes, and for all those saying No, you have to ask yourself as boxing fans, forget it if you like nard or not but thats not the way to win a title. We condemned paper titlist and fighters winning titles at catchweights yet you say No to this? This is even worse than that, its not right someone gets to be a champion with a win like that. Its pathetic and its not boxing, if it cannot be overturned I hope at least for the sake of boxing that the title will be relinquish

    Things that are logical and seem obvious rarely happen in boxing. Dawson should not be punished for a relatively minor foul he committed in the heat of the moment, nor should he be rewarded for taking an opponent out with a double-leg take down. Ruling the fight a No Contest, and mandating a rematch would be the logical thing to do, but this is boxing, so who the **** knows . . . .

    My question is what the **** was Hops doing jumping on top of Dawson's back.. what did he expect Dawson to do?

    I didn't see anything wrong with the move, except for Hops not getting up.

    I know its been done to death but i got on for the 1st time since the fall out

    I did not see it yet but i heard from a ppl about it

    Was it dirty? Did Dawson take him down like a wrestler? or was BHop like clinching him or hugging and Dawson did what most do and just shrugged him off and BHop fell awkward?

    Was Hopkins really hurt was it an acting job?

    Ive heard a variation of thoughts, what are yours? Does it hold up do you care to see a rematch

    Look at the espn article, Hopkins went to the hospital and has a dislocated shoulder. No fighter in the world could continue in a fight of that magnitude with a dislocated shoulder. He was hurt without being hit by a scoring blow, that's the definition of a no-contest. I don't think it should be a dq because it wasn't an intentional foul.

    I understand why people had questions about faking at first, but now that its been proven Hopkins wasnt faking, an nc is the only way for boxing to save face. Regardless of whether the commission overturns the ruling or not, ifDawson is any kind of man, he will stand up and say that he shouldn't win a title like that, give the belts back and they'll fight again asap. Any person with any kind of integrity would realize that he doesn't deserve to be the champ.

    Hopkins over committed with the right hand and Dawson ducked it. That resulted in Hopkins laying on top of Dawson. All Dawson did was push him off because he felt Hopkins was pushing him down. That small push but Hopkins on the ground and he seemed to fall on his elbow.
    Accidental foul. Or at least it should have been. The referee asked Hopkins if he can continue and Hopkins said he can, but with on arm only. He said it twice and the referee called it off without giving Hopkins a chnce to fight or wanr him of a TKO loss.
    Since the referee said there was no faul it was a TKO loss because Hopkins "injured himself".
    GBP will get it done and get Hopkins a rematch.

    It wasn't anything that was deliberate or that hasn't happened a million times before when an orthodox and a southpaw are coming at one another from awkward angles.
    There was no foul, and Bernard would not continue..thats a TKO.
    No reason to change to a No-Contest.
