This was only round 2. Trying to bail out or not, The Champ doesn't lose his Titles in 2 rounds unless it's a self-inflicting wound (I.E. I twisted my ankle, can't continue). He got slammed, fake or no fake, NO CONTEST.
Then let the court of opinion take care of it.

All parties lost in this fight, but mainly the fans did.
Look it was an accidental foul, period. Everyone that bought the PPV got the commentary from all of the HBO staff who were all in agreement that this should have been a no contest and it will be overturned.
You really can't be mad at Chad or Hopkins, it was simply a freak accident. However, I do think Chad deserves heat for that disgrace of an interview and I can't wait to see Pascal beat him again.
And to those saying Hopkins was faking, what did Chad present that would make you think that? Hell Pascal looked way better in the early rounds of both fights, including knocking B-Hop down twice, but he didn't give up then. So why would he give up now?
This fight was bad for boxing, but really this forum makes me feel worse about boxing than any fight can because it makes me realize that most boxing are complete idiots.

You guys are idiots.
Whether Hopkins hurt himself or not is irrelevant.
The point is, the Decision makes absolute no sense whatsoever .
A TKO cant be given after a take down like that.
Only a TD, DQ or a No Contest.
He cant give a TD since it had not reached 4 rounds.
Nor a DQ because idiot referee didnt tell Dawson off.
So it had to be a NC.
A TKO makes no sense in this scenario.
thats what i cant work out

Originally posted by street bully View PostWhere was the grab? He threw a punch, Dawson ducked, which is why Hopkins was on top.
But, whatever. If you feel that B-hop didn't do any foul and Dawson did a foul and B-Hop was robbed. Then so be it, I don't care. Because, I have no horse in this race.

Originally posted by jrosales13 View PostAnd, about the "foul". B-Hop is as much to blame for that as Dawson. It's kind of like the Cotto-Clottey situation. One jumps on the back of the opponent(B-Hop fan or not you must admit you not allowed to this), and the opponents shoves him off of him.
But, again if the ref saw no foul, then the TKO call was right. The thing here is that it's going to be an opinionated decision. It's going to come down to whether if people think it was a foul or not. And, also what was said during the Russell and B-Hop conversation.
I do feel instant replays in these type of situations would be great for boxing.
