    Technically it's NC, but I'm glad they ruled it a TKO. Hopkins deserved it.

    Should be no contest. hopkins legs were intentionally lifted by dawson then was shoulder shoved to the ground. At one point not even one of his legs was touching the ground. I don't agree with a lot of his antics either but by the rule it should be no contest.
     
  4. As Harold Lederman explained, it's a no-DECISION.

    Not sure what the rules say, but it seems unfair to rule this a tko - there was hardly a fight and a loss like that is a serious blemish on a fighter's record these days. I'm going with NC, but mainly I'm just annoyed that we didn't get to see this fight.

    There was no foul ruled, meaning one fighter simply did not continue, regardless of the reasons. Therefore it is a TKO win for Dawson. Mother ****ers.

    He intentionally threw Hopkins to the canvas who dislocated his shoulder, that's a DQ.

    Here's Dawson attempting something similar vs. Pascal:

    It's intentional. He hurt Hopkins with a foul. That's a DQ. Very simple.

    Hopkins injury was self sustained.

    By choosing to jump onto someone's back he voluntarily gave up all control over how he landed. It was a stupid move and caused him to get injured.

    Self sustained injury, can't continue. TKO seems about right.

    It should've been ruled let's just laugh at the hypocritical whining old fart sat on his arse clutching his glass shoulder.
