    And we - as fans - got **** on and cheated out of money in the process.

    Isn't this fraud?

    Dawson should have been disqualified for the foul. Dawson is a fraud and a cheater. Glad the WBC did what was right. California boxing commission should be ashamed of themselves and the ref is an idiot! What was the commish hiding?

    Come on people, be real. Hopkins was never injured as they made him out to be. He's a crafty fighter and the show he put on during the fight was aimed at penalizing Dawson at some level. Maybe take a point from him. The acting simply got out of nard's hands and things got out of control. I'm sure he's the first one to regret things ended like they did.

    That is such a cop out. So people cant give their interpretation of what happened if they deduce it wasn't legit? Its easy to demonize someone as a troll, a hater, in order to marginalize any criticisms, but as I say, that is just a cop out, and actually, it says more about your objectivity, cause even if you think it was legit, you would have to be stupid not to slightly question it, simply because he has a history of this kind of thing, and DIDN'T land on his shoulder at the end of the day.

    People have a right to be skeptical, not to say that auto means he's guilty, but dont try and pigeon hole the people who dont buy into what he's selling, cause there is more than enough to raise these questions.

    Biased fans always come with the default that if you are not running with hanging from the guys nuts, you HAVE to be a hater, cause god-forbid there could be someone out there who can actually call something from a neutral point of view who doesn't buy into the fighters BS.

    Hopkins is a disgrace. Continues to drag boxing through the mud with his vile racism and blatant cheating.

    It's amazing how a soft little fall has more of an effect than being violently bashed around the ring round after round.

    So did he tweet the MRI report to Tarver? I for one don't believe Hopkins, his Jedi mind trick attempt failed. Now that he got his belt back I haven't heard **** more about it. I think he overplayed the situation totally, but hey, we'll never know the truth now will we?

    I'm far from a troll. I rarely post here due to the amour of BS in many of the threads and the number of duplicate or very similar treads. I do however enjoy reading some of the more informed posts.

    Reread my post. I did not single the OP as the troll, I made my opinion known about all of the completely ridiculous posts on this board about him faking the injury to "escape" a fight that hadn't even started to get heated.

    I also posted that I could not see the seperation.

    I'm open to the idea that hopkins did not separate the AC joint. I just dont feel that he opted to quit based on the ass whipping Dawson had yet to put on him as some claim.
