IMO, this should have been a NC. Fighters lean, push-off with their shoulder, hold or shove a forearm to the throat, which all happend in this fight. Both men were fighting dirty, or as others would call, like a 'crafty veteran'. That being said, using your left arm to sweep your opponent's right leg while pushing him off is downright malicious.
Bhop was airborne for a brief moment, both feed off the ground. He broke his fall with his left elbow and then his left shoulder, which at the time was already out of the ring; therefore, his shoulder crashed onto the official's table after being jammed/jarred by the impact of his elbow on ring mat.Last edited by pgolf; 10-16-2011, 10:20 AM.Comment

Did the ref mess up? sure, but hopkins dirty tactics finally got the best of him, and now he won't ever get a title shot again. He decided to jump on his back, and dawson did what all boxers would have done, he threw him off. He wasn't gonna take any of that crap. Nothing for hopkins to do but retireComment
