Comments Thread For: Hopkins is Released From The Hospital, Injury update

[Truth]

Some people on here are the same kind of people that say Tupac is still alive. If a doctor says he was injured, we should take that seriously. Is it possible the doctor is lying or was paid off? Sure, but I would say that is unlikely and without evidence to prove the doctor is crooked...its just speculation by paranoid Dawson fans.

According to Hopkins he said he "wanted to continue" to the referee. Not that he "couldn't continue".

Well, seems legit but I would still like to see the Report and X-Rays.

By law, the fans will never see the official report and/or the X-Rays. You have absolutely no right to them, and neither Hopkins, nor his doctor, are obliged to reveal them.

The only people who will see them, is the California Athletic Commission, who will then be forced to rule this a no contest.

There doesn't have to be a rematch, but it needs to be declared NC.

Lets be real here. Initial reports from a doctor, are at times wrong.

My son just went to er a few weeks ago after he fell off a ramp skateboarding. He was screaming in pain. We took him in and had him xrayed, they said his elbow was broken and he would have to see a specialist. We take him to the specialist a week later,

the elbow is perfectly fine. Other than swelling up after the initial fall, the doctors guessed that it might have cracked.


That initial report means squat.

An Xray shows nothing unless the patient is holding a heavy weight in his hand when taken. This way it "may" show some degree of separation. Also there may be a lump of varying size at the connection point.

An Xray is really taken to see if any bones are fractured.


When I typed this a few minutes ago, just before I was sending, my computer went haywire with the word "hijacked" appearing a few times in the middle of the post

Max Schmeling won the geavyweight crown from Jack Sharkey on a foul, supposedly a low blow which nobody saw. Like Hopkins' tricks, in a way. Joe Jacobs, his manager later was going around with a dented metal protective cup. reputed to have been done with a hammer. Also Roy Jones lost his Lt.Heavy for a blow when his opponent was down, a reflexive punch, but still a foul.

A reflexive punch, but still a foul. Arthur Abraham lost his title to Dirrell for a similiar punch.
I;m sure there are many more.

what makes this su****ious is that GBP is directly involved. They are the ones who brought in a photoshop expert and determined that those fishnet pictures were photoshopped when gay la hoya and GBP knew all along that they were 100% legit.

They have directly lied to boxing fans to save face and its entirely possible that they are doing it again because BHop didn't seem hurt when Kellerman was asking him to move his shoulder around during the post fight interview

Refresh my memory, but was that done in a court of law, or just someone they hired to say they were fake?

LOL - the DR. said it was an AC separation. . . common sense says that in order for him to make a diagnosis he would take an x-ray. . . without an x-ray - the dr. would not diagnose him with an AC separation as it would be impossible to determine.

GOOGLE "AC SEPARATION"!! you will see what they look like, and that they are clearly identifiable on X-ray. . .

A separation on an XRAY can only be seen if the patient is holding a heavy weight in his hand when taken. Otherwise it's a matter of taking the patient's word. Another indication is that there is a bump, of varying size at the separation spot. This is a sure indication. Otherwise it depends on the truthfulness of the patient.........Hopkins.........

My own opinion is that he wan't hurt, considering the way he was gesturing with his injured arm and shoulder past fight, showing what happened. Also the canvas is heavily padded with rubber, and he actually made contact first with the lower rope. It was his fault, and what I saw was Dawson straingtening up, and in the process shrugging Hopkins off.

This is the 3rd different fight Hopkins has claimed a "falling" injury, and he has made many more fake attempts to get points or DQ's. I tend not to believe him.

I've looked it up on 5 different sites.

Hopkins had no reason to fake the injury. I mean we were barely into the fight.

Hopkins takes an opportunity any time he sees one. If he'd KNOWN he'd be regarded as a TKO he would never have given that snappy answer to the doctor about fighting with one arm. Kermit Cintron made the same mistake, and he had a legit excuse, having tripped over Williams' foot. yhe ref just thought differently.
