Moments ago at the California Commission meeting in Van Nuys, California, and seven CSAC commissioners voted on the Hopkins/Golden Boy appeal on the Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson bout which was ruled as a TKO win for Dawson after Hopkins was thrown to the canvas and injured a shoulder causing the bout to be stopped. The Commission reversed the TKO win by Dawson and ruled the bout a No Decison. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/commission-reverses-tko-win-by-dawson-to-a-no-decison-104231
Never thought they would actually change it despite it being pretty obvious that the fight ended on a clear foul, am glad boxing got it right for once and made the right decision.
Bhops must be flashing his gap toothed grin from ear to ear. Horrible, pittance of a fight. Bhops please retire. You proved us wrong now dont prove us right. Retire.
While I agree the title shouldn't technically be won in that manner, they should have made it mandatory for Hopkins to give a rematch. Title shouldn't be given back to Hopkins because of that without him having to face Dawson again... I like Hopkins but think this was the easiest way for him to retain his title and would be greatly disappointed if he moved on to fight someone else... Although I have a feeling that's what he'll do in order to keep his belt.
they better not let hopkins escape wit that ****. rematch should mandatory or his ass needs to retire. PERIOD
