Comments Thread For: Sulaiman Explains Why WBC Title Returns To Hopkins

[sebastianb7312]

Thank goodness something good came out of this weak ass fight.. Im surprised fat man Sulaiman did the right thing.. Now all he has to do is get actual live bodies to fight his 2 golden gooses in Fraudnello and El Gordo Chavez Jr. than we will be all good... LOL...

The fight wasn't even past 4 rounds where in the event of a cut or injury, the fight goes to the scorecards.

It was clearly a frustration lift and push.

Dawson clearly is showing no remorse or that it was an accident.

It's so easy and wrong for keyboard warriors to call a professional fighter of over 10,15, 20+ years a coward.

Hopkins IS 46 years old and his body may not hold up as well as it looks. Simple human anatomy and age.

Dawson has no claim to having a WIN, yet alone a TKO over Hopkins and therefor having the title makes no sense.

Hopkins is an inspiration while Chad's demeanor after the fight isn't exactly inspiring.

He was pissed as well as millions of boxing fans. Can you blame him for lashing out at Hopkins. That is nothing compared how Dawson was screwed and millions of boxing fans.

fking saddens me that ANYONE would h8 on hopkins after his service to the sport....let alone try to justify what that ****ing bum dawson did. dawson aint ****....and he sure as **** aint fit to lace hopkins boots and his move was no less punk than what ortiz pulled on mayweather so how about just give some respect and accept that he didnt play by the rules and dont deserve any belt or title.
normal service has been restored. pascal beat dawson and hopkins beat pascal TWICE!
dawson can jog on and get owned by cloud now!

not a reward for Hopkins, more a punishment for Dawson

slamming Hopkins to the ground was risky, whether he faked or not, it was illegal stuff

it is the right decision, but it sukks, sad situation

I wonder if HBO would be interested in a rematch

Why should Dawson be punished? Because Bernard Hopkins monkey ass jumped on his back. What was Dawson supposed to do, let it slide? *** Bernard Hopkins and his "veteran" moves(cheating moves more like it). Bernard Hopkins is not only a boring fighter but a cheater.

And you need to stay away from any discussions relating to boxing. Boxing is better off without fans like you that don't know ****.

Yeah, whatever you say. Maybe this is why Boxing is dying because fighters want to fake injuries to duck another or run and play dirty and get away with it. No legit sport would let Bernard Hopkins get away with what he did. I bet I know more about this sport and its history than you do. Bernard and his **** title run, aka Roberto Duran lightweight run is pathetic. At least Duran did his **** clean and didn't lay down like a straight up ***** like Hopkins did. Oh yeah, he didn't duck any fighter for three years either. Suck a **** dude, you don't know **** about boxing.

This fight was similar to the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, in the fact that Dawson had to foul Hopkins out of frustration that he couldn't deal with his style.

It was Hopkins fault, IMO. He's the one who jumped on Dawsons back. Hopkins has always been a dirty fighter and Dawson just gave him a taste of his own medicine.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

You should relax homie, not many people are questioning Bhop's service to the sport or legacy and that has nothing to do with the fight anyways. Bhop bends the rules most of the time and breaks the rules more often than people realize. Bhop was employing his usual rough tactics and Dawson responded like a fighter that wasn't backing down, plain and simple. I agree with the WBC's decision over the original result but for a fighter that is labeled "crafty" like Bhop he sure is whining about dirty tactics.

Lifting Hopkins in the air would have been a better idea. No risk of an injury, and you still get the message accross. That is something I have seen many many times. Usually, it works well. Dawson made sure Hopkins would land straight on his back. That wasn't wise in the most important fight of his life. Wright probably got to his head...

justice has been served

Regarding the light heavweight defense between WBC world champion Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson, held [last Saturday] in Los Angeles, California, in which the referee declared a second round technical knockout against the champion Hopkins, as he could not continue due to an injury after a push by challenger Dawson, the head offices of the WBC sent videos, medical reports, and the WBC's corresponding rules to the Board of Governors, who unanimously declared the fight a technical draw; therefore, Bernard Hopkins is still the WBC light heavyweight champion of the world.

This is good news. Hopefully instant replay will now be a part of boxing, especially in title fights of this magnitude.
