    Every day my alarm goes off at 7.30, i use 2 alarms because im a heavy sleeper, on of them is my hi-fi/stereo whatever you wanna call it, anyway when the hi-fi alarm goes of i cant reach the snooze button and have lost the remote for it, so i reach for the plug to just pull it out, i have to roll to the side of the bed to do this and have fallen out of the bed several times onto my right elbow, almost exactly how hopkins fell last night, right on the elbow, i have never sustained any sort of injury, never experienced any pain what so ever, nothing. this is why i think Hoipkins quit, either he thought he was ahead and it would go to scorecards or he just quit hoping for a no contest.

    BTW im a big hopkins fan and stayed up till 4 am here in the UK to watch him.

    **** out of here. Dawson landed one good left and was winning on aggression alone, not punches. Hopkins movement if anything swayed fans into thinking he quit.

    Fights cant go to the cards after only 2 rounds. Legends don't decide that they have no chance to win after 2 rounds.:roll:

    Horrible, horrible argument. Just because one person falls and injures themselves, does not mean that another person who falls the same/similar way will injure themselves.

    Everyone is unique. Why are some people more injury prone than others? Why do people die from natural causes at different ages? Why do some people get cancer, and others don't?

    If everything in life was as simple as your argument, life would be a lot more predictable...as would boxing.

    Haha....I feel ya' on the crazy alarm set up. I live by myself, and if you don't get up, there's nobody to help you with the "HEY!!! You're gonna be late!!".

    Unplug yours every morning though? haha.
