!! BERNARD HOPKINS gets his belt back!!! Official.... !!

sooooooooo do all bets get payed back? I'm not paying mne until its OFFICIAL....its gonna getchanged by the Cali cats as well....I stillkeep this bet sig'd though....Ripp is my dude and I don't ass bet anyway....thats lame!!

joe's shoe shine and car wash should be big enought to hold the rematch

The people who attended the fight should get free tickets to the rematch should it happen, but we all know that won't happen.

what about the people who pay to watch them? can they fight again for free infront of the same people who pay their tickets the first time?

After that performance no-one deserves the belt. They should declare it vacant for stinking out the place.

they better rematch and not on pay-per view

If I was Dawson, I'd take that **** to trial

If they give his belt back, GBP should give viewers their money back.

It hasn't been officially reversed. I'll be paying back my bet if it gets reversed. What about real betting with money, how does that work when they change the results to a fight? This topic is hear-say. The results are Dawson won by TKO in the 2nd round still. You can pretty much forget about getting paid back from a sports betting site. Because they would also have to take the money back from the people they paid out to. And a lot of those people have already gambled that money away. Best case scenario they offer a free bet for X amount of dollars.

so that scumbag got away with faking an injury. what has boxing turned in to these last few years?!?!?

Rematch? Rematch? Sure, why not have a rematch? Should it be on PPV? No it should not. Why? Their styles would not match up well. Translation the fight would turn into a boring, foul fested contest.

His MRI came back as a dislocated joint in the shoulder. So it is a real injury for all you people that thought he was faking.

Bernard Hopkins has been reinstated as WBC light heavyweight champion by the WBC in the wake of Saturday's bizarre fight with Chad Dawson in which Hopkins was ruled a second-round knockout loser. The WBC changed the decision to a technical draw and gave him back the title. While he gets the belt back, the result is not "official" because only the California commission can report "official results" to Fight Fax (boxing's official record keeper), but the upshot is that Hopkins gets the title back. The result may be changed "officially" by the California commission pending the hearing scheduled in a few weeks. Fight has been ruled a technical draw. I have mixed feelings about it....Dawson clearly didn't win by TKO and it never should of been ruled a TKO...but not sure if Hopkins injury was legit...I think WBC made the right call by awarding the belt back to Hopkins...I also think there should be a mandatory rematch on HBO not PPV...

Suppose this change in result is only fair. Seeing Hopkins seem to make the most of injuries in the past i wasn't to sympathetic at the time..should of been ruled a no-contest though. Cant see the media being to interested in a re-match, but i would like to see things settled fairly and once and for all in a re-match.
