Comments Thread For: Dawson Stops Hopkins, Freak Ending in Two Rounds

[The_Golden_Goy]

Hopkins shouldve been given the same amount of time to recover as he got for a lesser contact punch against Calzaghe.....

Salute to Chad Dawson...HE CAME TO FIGHT! He didn't give a damn about the Title which is why he was SO ANGRY!

People said coming into this fight "HE WAS BORING" "HE WAS GOING TO RUN" "HE WASN'T GOING TO COME AND FIGHT" blah blah blah

well from the very first Bell...HE WAS COMING FORWARD and looking to ENGAGE and clearly came to FIGHT AND PROVE A POINT...

I hate to say it...but I think B-Hop was faking...but I am sure GBP will get Positive X-Rays or what ever to try and make B-Hop look good...either way if he continues to fight HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FIGHT ON PPV AGAIN!

LOL am I the only one that thought Dawson was saying that he wanted "PACQUIAO" next hahaha

Heartless Dawson came to fight? Give me a break. Neither fighter was doing **** up to the point of the bull**** that went on. Dawson often comes forward but neither fighter was doing ****. He's just a ****ing heartless ******.

I think Hopkins is far too proud to fake an injury.

[Mr. Invincible]

Hahahahaha! Hopkins didn't get hurt! I'm so glad this cheating **** finally caught up to him.

Dawson didn't hook the legs. Hopkins left leg got hooked when he fell, which had nothing to do with Dawson. That happens.

Hopkins didn't want to continue fighting. Simple as that. My 5 y/o son takes harder spills than that daily.

Oh, and I love how the same people who trash Vitali for quiting on his stool against Byrd in 7 rounds after tearing his rotator cuff are the same ones defending Hopkins' BULL**** now! **** OFF you racist bastards.

lol enough with trying to make Dawson sound like a warrior. He threw maybe 25 punches the whole fight.

*Hopkins is a racist*

*Hopkins is a quitter*

*blah blah blah*


All of this nonsensical garb means zilch if the doctor's report confirms Hopkins' suffered an injury, thus forcing the commision to overturn the decision to a NC.

The referee made the split second judgement call that Dawson's move was not a foul, after viewing the replay, to anyone who isn't a blind moron, Dawson's move should be called a foul. You just can't lift an opponent off the floor and throw him to the canvas, this is boxing, there is no way you can spin it. So what if Hopkins was leaning on his neck, you wait for the referee to pull him off, you don't commit a foul.

[BennyST]

hilarious and ironic to hear Hopkins fans complaining about fouls.

fact of the matter is that Hopkins jumped on top of Dawson and tried pushing him down, ie illegal activity. Dawson tried to get him off.

if you start roughhousing ****, then you better expect it back. Thats why I was laughing after Floyd KOed Ortiz.


And frankly it doesnt matter if Hopkins was faking or not. If youre injured in a professional boxing match and cant continue, you lose by TKO. even if its caused by a fall.

Quite simply, true. If anyone has had the karma is this type of thing coming it's Hopkins. As much as I respect him, you cannot blame Dawson for this. At all.

If you jump and lean on someones back, you are going to get shoved off. It's illegal and as we all know, Hopkins has made a famous career of using highly illegal tactics and revelling in it. He would say 'its boxing. It's not dancing, it's a fight. You do what you gotta do.'

If you are going to play that way, you can't expect that you're opponent won't retaliate. You do something illegal, the opponent might just do it back. The other thing is that Hopkins has been playing with fire for too long. In nearly all of his fights the last few years, he has played up supposed fouls way, way too much. Someone finally called him on it and wouldn't take it.

I don't see how anyone can possibly lay any blame at Dawson's feet. This has been Hopkins' bread and butter for an entire career and worst of all is that every single one of his fans will say the same ****. "Hey man, it's a fight. Hopkins is an old school fighter and this is part of the game". It is and what Dawson did was not bad enough for this. Hopkins does this, and gets away with it, all the time, but now it's all illegal when someone does it to him? So, if Dawson had head butted him, hit him on the breaks, lowblowed him, punched then grabbed, leaned on him, used his elbows.......it's all BS and shouldn't be allowed and the ref should have DQ' him? Instead, when Hopkins does something illegal, like punch, jump in, hold and then lean on the others guys back but gets called on it and shoved off it's not his fault at all?

Come on ****s. Be real. Think a little.

Just make a rematch. If you're going to dish it out, you gotta be able to take it too.

[The Gambler1981]

thats a fair example, but those injuries are caused directly due to the other fighter. same with elbows. Dawson did nothing to directly cause Hopkins' injury other than shrug off a clinching Hopkins.

if you fall and hurt yourself in a boxing match, yes, its a TKO loss for you.

You really aren't suppose to push, I am not a huge stickler for the rules but if a guy pushes and a guy gets injured to me that is an accident at the very least.

If B-Hop fell on his own with zero help from Chad I get that, but Chad was involved.

[Devils Advocate]

And I'm supposed to feel bad for streaming these fights? What a joke Hopkins is a ****ing disgrace. And kellerman is a ****,

2 big black eyes for Golden Boy. Ortiz and Hopkins both could have continued can't we at least get a free triple header or something Damn!!!
