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

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Oh I get it, B-Hop fans are doing DAMAGE CONTROL right now and trying to place blame on someone else other then him hahaha

"Dawson Pushed Him" ...Ok and B-Hop jumped on his back so he got what he deserved then

[!! Shawn]

How was Hopkins jumping in on him? He threw a right hand that Dawson slipped and then threw him. I agree with your point that Dawson necessarily shouldn't be blamed, but it definitely shouldn't have been a TKO win for him.

He's saying Hopkins was trying to hold his head down, which he obviously was, I have no problem with what dawson did. Dawson did the right thing to stop hopkins from holding his head down, but that doesn't mean the result a TKO.

The fight should be a NC.

look at the replays or the pictures. Hopkins is literally on top of Dawson, his feet were leaving the ground before Dawson even reacted.

You obviously don't know jack **** about boxing. You don't have to be a fan of Hopkin, but to not recognize his profound abilities is basically the epitome of boxing ignorance. And I think many boxing fans would strongly disagree with your characterization of Hopkins as a boring fighter. But then, you've probably only seen his last 4 or so fights, which to me weren't boring at all, but he obviously does pace himself more than he did in his younger days. Even so, how was exactly was his fight against Pavlik a boring fight (to take a recent example)?

Haha, I've been watching Hopkins since the 90's, when he was fighting for chump change on Showtime. You really look dumb when you assume things.

And you can't tell me what I find boring. I find Hopkins boring and thats that.

I recognize Hopkins skills, and the fact that Hopkins is almost 50 and is still one of the best around is amazing.

But I do find Hopkins to be a racist, and I do find his style to be boring. He's got tremendous skill, defense, and intelligence, but I prefer to watch Manny go all out and tyr knock someone out

??? Was you watching the same fight? it was Dawson coming forward and cutting the ring off, it was B-Hop moving backwards

Heartless is when you JUMP ON A GUY BACK THEN WHEN YOU PUSH YOU OFF YOU GO DOWN AND FAKE A SHOULDER INJURY! hahahaha

Dawson came forward but he often does, so what? He didn't throw many punches up to that point - neither man had had much success. Dawson is heartless face it, a man with that talent should not lose to amateur pascal. You can say what you want about hopkins but he's more proven than ****ing dawson.

BennyST you are my boxingscene brother and my top 5 fav poster (as you know) but Hopkins as a champion didnt deserve this, he deserves to have his belts taken from him, not wrongly removed, i know hopkins doesnt have good karma in some respects, but i dont see why Dawson should get nO blame at all, he did what he did and hopkins looked legitimately hurt, not to mention to me, i think Dawson overdid it with the tackle, i do think that it should have been a no contest, and Dawson should rematch him. i am a huge hopkins fan but i am also one to think the undisputed LHW champ should have his belts taken, not removed IMO

I do think Hopkins was milking the injury though, but that is strategy, why not get a good long breather in? He didn't throw himself to the ground. No different from a fighter taking fulltime after a low blow

[Mr. Invincible]

Yeah, because fighters always have their arms around another fighters legs... it just happens all the time right? Like 5-6 times a round. Everyone does it...

Watch the replay again you sore loser. Hopkins' left leg got caught in Dawson's LEGS. The feint left arm cupping Dawson did had zero to do with Hopkins falling. He flopped & wasn't hurt, your mad because your racist moronic hero lost. End of story.

Lederman said that according to ABC Boxing Rules, the TKO could only come from a legal move. Therefore this case, it should've been called a No Contest/Decision
