    Yeah a guy who writes for espn and who predicted Hopkins would LOSE and also said he had no allegiance to either fighter is going to be biased but some bandwagoners on esb with winky wright avatars are fair and balanced right? :nut

    Here's a little bit from the introduction

    A little stupid are we? :patsch I was simply saying i'd believe a guy who's actually boxed and writes for espn and in his article stated he never had an allegiance to either boxer would be a lot more likely to unbiased then some bandwagoner like yourself :deal Try to be less thick next time.

    Yeah, and some moron calling a fighter "Zab Dawson" (who is that, by the way? Never heard of him) obviously has the least biased opinion on here to judge which articles are biased and which aren't :lol:

    Where the **** did I say I was unbiased? that's right nowhere :deal but what I posted is a solid article from a non-biased point of view, if you think the article is biased please explain why? do you think the author has some sort of connection to Hopkins? if so please bring your proof.

    Nice..

    I like Dawson as a boxer, he's a douche though. BHop is not much better. But there needs to be a rematch. If someone jumped on my back, i'd throw him off too, would i act like Dawson did after ? I just won a world title, so i'm not sure, i would like to think i wouldn't, and would definitely be up for a rematch.

    At the end of the fight, you can hear Dawson say, 'i'm a gangster' :lol: Pretty funny guy.

    There's not enough talk about deMarco - Linares.

    Moderately young hungry lion DeMarco will sadly be chewed up and spat out by old shot dragon Erik Morales in the coming months. :deal

    "Some sort of connection to Hopkins" rofl. No, but refusing to acknowledge Hopkins had put HIMSELF in the position to be thrown off like that, and not bringing up the countless times we've seen Hopkins in similar positions, with shockingly similar reactions is just not telling the whole story, and it's bias.

    Boom.

    Hopkins was shrugged off, what was he doing climbing all over Dawson's back??

    So that's a no? you have no proof of a connection to Hopkins? :think

    He aknowledges Hopkins past when he says "Bernard may have over-exaggerated his response to being fouled in a couple of fights many years back"

    And here is how he described the incident;

    This is why I told people to check out the full article over on ESPN as I know posting complete copyrighted articled can get theads deleted that's why I was posting up snippets.

    Also it's good you aknowledge Hopkins was thrown and not 'shrugged off' as some people have been saying.

    You don't hook someone's leg when you 'shrug someone off' :patsch:patsch

    Tell me boss do you think Dawson was also trying to 'shrug' Pascal off here, notice the same hooking of the leg.

    Cotto body slammed Clottey much harder than this - and clearly intentionally - and was not penalized. This resulted in an injury to Clottey and in a very close split decision fight you'd have trouble convincing anyone that it didn't play a factor in the outcome. This move was not invented by Chad Dawson, and if the writer of this **** article knew anything about boxing he would've remembered that as it was a reasonably big fight and wasn't even that long ago.


    P.S. If you can't figure out the connection between Bernard Hopkins and ESPN, I don't even know what to say.
