Am I the only one who thinks Chad Dawson should have been disqualified?

    Hopkins threw a right hand, Dawson grabbed Hopkin's leg and threw him out of the ring. Hopkin's elbow was caught causing a shoulder injury, you could see the lump on Hopkin's shoulder. When Chambers tried that on Vlad the ref gave Chambers a warning and told him he would take a point. Dawson is boring, a cheat and should have been disqualified for an illegal move. Boxing is not wrestling. Hopkins did nothing wrong, but Dawson sure did. I think the decision will be changed. Was the ref paid off? He should be investigated.

    Chambers was not warning by the ref!!!!

    Wlad hits the canvas very hard but he stands up and fights on. And Wlad does not jump on the opponents like Hopkins did! So Hopkins fouled Dawson before !! Dawson fouled Hopkins, look at Hopkins legs, he jumped on Dawson:

    But you are right this fight is NC.

    Dawson does not grab Hopkins with his hands like Chambers did! Dawson throws Hopkins off of his back.

    to answer your question: yes.
    Dawson didnt do ****. he just threw him off a little bit. Basically the real foul was how Hopkins climbed on his back.
    another acting job by this homosexual Bernard Hopkins

    You can also see Hopkins cushioned most of the fall with his legs and hips and back, then he rolled over to act. I'm sure some doctor will vouch for his injury. There are so many scam doctors in the USA. Insurance companies have to fight them all the time.

    Watch him grab Bhop's knee and tackles him down.

    Bhop's motives or whether the injury was real is another issue, Right there is a foul move.
    Also, notice Dawson stepped in as he pushed Bhop. Another evidence that he intentionally did it.

    WTF? Did Hopkins suddenly want a piggy back ride or something? It looked like he thought it was MMA and he was trying to 'take Dawson's back'. Anyway you look at it, that was cheating. He didn't leave Dawson much choice.

    I guess that's the price you pay for cheating. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. This time, Hopkins didn't get away with it.

    You can see it on the top-down view. Dawson ducks under the punch and then pushes forward into Hopkins' midsection, thus INITIATING the contact where Bernard ends up "climbed all over his back".

    He looked like he was gonna grab, but he let go. He just shrugged him off with his shoulder

    Kind of funny to hear people defend Hopkins by saying boxing's not wrestling. Don't think they've seen much of Hopkins career. He was the dirtiest fighter in the past 10 years. I don't know the exact wording of the rules in Cali, and I would call what Chad did a pick up and toss, but as far as I'm concerned, a Dawson victory is justice.
