How Do You Think Hopkins - Dawson Should Have Been Ruled?

Was it a legit TKO since bernard couldn't continue?

Or do you think it should've been ruled a NC because chad obviously threw him on his back.

poll to come

The f**ing doctors report is on right now, we can put all this faking nonsense to rest.

The doctor's report states that he has a common shoulder injury who's main symptom is pain. There's no way to prove Hopkins' injury. The doctor is basing his report on what Hopkins tells him, not on tests. It's like getting a doctor's report that says you have whiplash after getting rear ended. There's no test for it, they just go by what you say.

no contest

b-hop wasnt taking a beating or anything like that for him to fake a injury.

I'm gonna say a NC..It was too early for B-Hop to really be wanting out of the fight..It was not a punch that did any damage it was a push(which is against the rules)and B-Hop did look hurt..It should have been an NC imo...

You don't push someone by lifting there leg of the ground and then let them drop. It should be a NC.
That being said B-Hop just bailed out when he most probably could've had carry on.

He never lifted his leg, he stood from a squat position while Hop was leaning down on him. His right hand never came in contact with him and his left hand touched the back of his leg for a split second but never lifted him. He was already in the air when Dawson touched his leg.

No contest and a rematch.

What Dawson did was clearly a foul, no doubt about it.

Anyone can claim that injury. It doesn't prove anything unless his shoulder was separated when he was at the hospital, which it wasn't.

I agree with the above. A NC with a rematch seems like the correct ruling.
