    Wait a maximum of 3 seconds for the ref to do his part and break us off.

    FFS how difficult is that?

    that saps your energy espcially over 12 rounds and if it's Bernard, he's going to hit you in your damn kidney

    I would have drove him into the ropes with my shoulder, not lift him up. Bully him a little bit, let him know who's the stronger guy.

    Keep in mind that this was Hopkins' third foul of the fight already. Headbutt in the first round (which he was warned for) and the first tackle.

    You can't expect any fighter to take that **** lying down.

    I would do the exact same thing Dawson did. I'm not going to let some guy lay on me and just take it.

    This. Hopkins may not be my favorite, but the rules is the rules. If he really is injured, it should be a NC.

    I don't take any issue with that. I might argue that Hopkins' injury resulted from a Hopkins foul, and thus an 'L' is warranted, but regardless of the official decision he certainly discredited himself in the eyes of most fans.
