Dawson-Hopkins-just doesnt sit right with me

[bojangles1987]

Expect some disappointing action from Ward-Froch too everybody. Two guys who love to get physical, a stoppage on cuts from a headbutt is likely, that or Ward will dominate in boring fashion.

The only fight left this year that will definitely deliver is Margarito-Cotto. If you love brutal beatdowns, Pacquiao-Marquez will too. Crazy that Pacquiao-Marquez is actually not looking bad because at least there is almost a guarantee we'll get something memorable.

Both camps screams no rematch,did we just get 1 pulled over on up?Hopkins loses his belt without losing,Dawson wins without winning,both get a huge payday,while the fans get ****ed over.This is getting ridiculous,1st the Floyd fight now this crap??its getting disgusting man

****ed up thing is Floyalist who ignored the rules that were posted and discussed, are pissed off and talking rules regarding Hopkins.
Bottom line Hopkins quit, it was his own fouling that lead to him being on the floor. it was also his shoulder not his legs ankles or feet.. he wasnt hurt to the chin... he quit.
However I am noticing how suddenly you all want to follow the rules, I agree should be a no contest However the ref can look at it as if Hopkins took a Knee..

If there is a rematch, it would have to be on ESPN or BAD. Nobody in their right state of mind would pay for this fight twice!

Who paid for it the first time?

It makes no business sense to market this fight, unfortunately. Neither Dawson nor Hopkins are huge attractions, nor do their fighting styles excite. Dawson keeping his belts and ruling it an official TKO makes more sense since Dawson is young and will continue to do defend belts. It was Hopkins' way of going out on top and being able to say, "You know how I lost the belts? They took them from me? I never lost them legitimately."

That'll be where Hopkins will be able to hang the blame...

I'm a Hopkins fan but that's how it's going to be.

Boxing matches are won by punches...not headbutts and body slams

a once legit ref

well done, you've got a long memory- been a fair while since he's been what i could possibly call legit.

THis is the type of **** I hate about Boxing. In the UFC, this **** wouldn't go down well and there would be an immediate rematch.

Boxing matches are supposed to be fought with in the rules of the sport... dont expect me to feel sorry for Flopkins he quit the ****ing fight.. he was the one fouling he is the one who flopped and looked to win by DQ and it backfired... you live by the sword you die by it.
And thanks to fighters like Hopkins and Mayweather you can bet your ass PPV boxing is soon enough going to be a thing of the past.

I love how everybody is surprised that Bernard Hopkins ripped off the fans. When has Hopkins ever done anything for the fans? His style is miserable, he avoided big matchups that people screamed for (Roy rematch and Toney) and kept fighting bums of the month for a long time.

You are his fans because you're too new to boxing to know anything about the guy. You just see that he's 46 and say THAT'S COOL, HE'S OLD AND STILL WINNING! I'M A FAN!
