Comments Thread For: Schaefer, Shaw Agree: No Hopkins-Dawson Rematch

[DigitalBeast]

Listen bro, if there isn't a rematch then that fight was fixed. It's like the match never happened, except both got payed for absolutely nothing. Yes that includes B-Hop obviously.

The only fix was from the Hopkins camp. He wanted to cop out from anything, be it a rabbit punch, a punch too low, a cut. I'm sure Hopkins would have copped out from any of those like he tried against Calzaghe and Jones II, he wanted easy points deducted from his opponent or an easy DQ win. This time, it backfired. GBP even got the paid doctor and his flock of fans calling it credible and they all seem to be happy about this situation. Hopkins fans seem more relieved than pissed off.

Kinda hoping karma will smack your kind, hard.

BTW I am a Hopkins fan, and I forgot how my favorite fighters list looks, but I believe I have Hopkins before Dawson, I think. But when I say "Hopkins fans" I mean his stans. Cause I like B-Hop as well, but I think this was a cop out and there's more to this doctor's report.

If people believe this, then they should forgive Andre Dirrell, who actually got his with a sledge hammer of a punch while he wasn't looking, and people called him an actor. If Dirrell is an actor then he is a low class bad actor while Hopkins is Marlon Brando.

What? No rematch?? Then the fight was fixed. That makes no sense for the rematch not to happen. That's bull****, all day long. There must be a rematch, there's no way there isn't one. If the ruling gets reversed, they have to fight again, they have to.

No fix....just a mandatory fight that no one really wanted, except Dawson.

two ***s laughing all the way to the bank

didn't you hear Hopkins post fight? When asked what he wants to do next he said "Richard Schafer". Don't you think a guy would want to fight a rematch to get his belts back? This dude knows he can't handle Dawson. He's a fraud.

Why is it so hard to believe he fell on his shoulder and hurt it? Did you not see Dawson throw him?

Do you really believe a credible doctor would lie for Hopkins when they just went to see a random one? The difference between this and Dirrell, who I dont believe was faking the moment he was knocked out, was that dirrell fumbled around questions of his doctor and you have his trainer saying the Ward fight wouldnt happen if they didnt get more money.

I still want to see a rematch to clear up all the controversy. I just don't want it to be on PPV. But as other people alluded to, what network would be interested in the fight?

And why the fuck isn't Hopkins demanding a rematch? He must really think Dawson has his #. And I'm saying that as a guy who like Hopkins more than Dawson.

[BoxerDood]

That's bulls**t. The fans got robbed of $55. They need to do a rematch on HBO BAD to make up for this and actually end the fight with punches instead of UFC moves. Boxing just took another huge hit...smh

dawson vs hopkins was a pretty ****ty fight to begin with on paper. I don't care if it gets rescheduled or not as long as the bull**** tko decision is overturned.

hopkins vs bute could be cool. and pascal vs dawson 2.

If both hopkins and dawson win their fights then maybe schedule another one NOT ON PPV.

I must be blind, because I didn't see that. Walt Liquor said he slammed him, and now you say he threw him. I thought you needed to use your hands to throw or slam some one. What I saw was Hopkins leaning on Dawson's back after he missed a right hand and Dawson putting force on a shove with his shoulder t push Hopkins away. Not a slam, toss, throw, chokeslam, power-bomb, pile driver, elbow drop, or anything else Hopkins fans are trying to make it look like.
