Dawson - Hopkins: The WBC rules

Your either a troll or a Dawson fanboy

Seriously trying to justify a TKO for Dawson is despicable

 

Hopkins literally jumped onto the guys back. WTF did you want, Dawson to give Hopkins a free piggy back ride around the ring?

It's been dissected in slow motion, and shown that Dawson was still moving backwards when Hopkins jumped. Dawson was bent down and moving backwards, and Hopkins made a decision to take a huge lunge with his right leg which could only result in him landing on Dawson's back. Most likely because he had overextended and was hoping not to pay for it.

Face it, Hopkins cheated (big surprise there, right?) and gave Dawson the choice of either going down with Hopkins on top of him and risk injuring himself, or shrugging Hopkins off and risk injuring Hopkins. He made the 100% correct choice - a choice forced onto him by Hopkins cheating.

Another fact is that when you jump onto someone you lose almost every bit of control you have over your balance. If you end up on your ass or your head as a result, you only have yourself to blame.

So Hopkins' stupidity and dirty, illegal tactics backfired and he got himself injured as a direct result of his own actions.

People have to quit bitching about Dawson refusing to be ridden by Bhops like some ****ing mule.

me neither. A bunch of mealy mouth lawyer noise

I expect we'll soon hear that sanity as prevail, that the fight is reversed to a NC, with BHOP retaining his title, as it should have been ruled last night.

 

The WBC could refuse to accept Dawson as a champion (See: Soto v Lorenzo I)

 

If we are talking about WBC rules, perhaps someone would clarify - if the injury is considered to be self sustained, and he can't fight on, then what happens?

The injury was clearly Hopkins own fault, for jumping onto someone and voluntarily losing all control over his balance and which way he was going to fall.

Wouldn't the rules state that this is a loss for Hopkins? Otherwise, any fighter could just randomly decide to try a backflip, land awkwardly, get injured, and get a N/C if they wanted.

 

And sadly, judging by the commissoner's answer to Max Kellerman, and the "I don't give a rat's ass" look on the guy's face, it seems like the commission has been paid off as much as the ref was.

 

No, he didn't. (What fight were you watching?) He chose TKO, for which there is absolutely no justification at all.

-But nice try re-writing history.

 

LOL, a mealy mouthed slimy lawyer takes offense, but let's not start speaking of stone age or I'll have to hit your caveman ass with the real deal of DNA data.
My work is effective. :yep

 

What does that word mean?
