In a statement from the referee, the referee indicated that he Observed Hopkins come forward and smother Dawson attach by grabbing and leaning
on Dawson's back. He further states that Hopkins was leaning heavily with his body on Dawson's upper back. As he closed the distance he observed Dawson's back arch and his legs straighten, lifting Hopkins off the ground. Mr. Hopkins fell heavily on his right hip area and rolled slight towards his left and fell backwards on the ring apron. The referee signed for Dr. Hicks who was the ringside physician to evaluate Mr. Hopkins. Mr. Hopkins did not allow Dr. Hicks to physically examine him or shoulder area. The referee stopped the bout based on the ringside physician medical advice and the technical decision was rendered.

Russell stated that Round Two started similarly to Round One as "clinching after punching." Russell stated that right before the fall, Hopkins leaned on Dawson which caused Dawson to touch the canvas with his glove or body. Russell signaled "slip-no knockdown" and stated that he warned Hopkins not to push down. Russell stated that this exact situation occurred for a second time. During the second time Hopkins leaned over on Dawson, Dawson straightened his legs. Russell stated that because of the awkward position that Hopkins was in, Hopkins fell backwards.
