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

[Ravens Fan]

Just have to ask. How can the WBC over turn the decision if the California State Athletic Commission hasn't yet made a decision?

[jlgr58]

The wbc is a DISGRACE!!! Who the hell are they fooling? The original decision was not the most appropriate but to declare the match a draw is completely crazy. A [no contest] makes much more sense.

I'm a b hop fan but the truth is he quit..his acting can't fool me..it's sad that majority of his fans are still defending him even tho they know that he faked the injury..just look at his face ..the same face he made when he fought RJJ...the same crying b1tch face..he robbed people of their money..he should retire..he only likes to fight people who showed signs of mental weakness in previous fights..he knew if he continued dawson would of punished him...I guess the only thing his fans want to hear right now is the doctors lie that he dislocated his shoulder which is bull****..

This was the correct call to begin with, good on you WBC.

[Jack Napier]

good decision, Dawson didn't deserve the title like that
is Dawson keeping the Ring belt though?
surprised if GBP lets him keep their belt after this
and screw a rematch

[gibo]

gbp and **** shaefer OWN the wbc and suliaman. What ever gbp says wbc does! Money talks baby!! hobkins fakes an injury and the wbc overturns and reinstates the gbp fighter (hobkins) as champion, and they look for another fight for hobkin as if he never ever lost his last fight, and expect everybody to buy his next PPV extravaganza! **** hobkins, **** shaefer, **** delahoto, and **** wbc suliaman, his sons, and his armenian mother! Thats why boxing sucks today, cause of these *ssholes.

have no problem with them taking the Belt, it should have been a NC but a Rematch should be ORDERED!

if they just give B-Hop his Belt and let him RUN then B-Hop and his current Title Run as the WBC Champion becomes a COMPLETE JOKE...then again the WBC is already a JOKE, Golden Boy Promotions is paying them off well I am sure

[RuMbLe]

There is one answer really - corruption.

Golden Boy pulls Sulaiman and the WBC's strings. Look how many bull**** decisions they've made in favor of Golden Boy and how many of their now meaningless green belts they undeservedly handed out to Golden Boy fighters recently.

Hopkins would not be getting this legitimate TKO loss reversed if he wasn't a Golden Boy fighter.

Hopkins cheats all the time, you don't see anyone crying for his wins to be reversed. Nevermind that he initiated the incident by illegally jumping on Dawson who couldn't do anything else but push him off or risk being injured himself.

This was like Sharmba Mitchell-Kostya Tszyu I, where Tszyu wouldn't allow that cheat to duck and grab his waist and threw him around like a rag doll until he busted his knee. Mitchell got what he deserved, just as Hopkins got what he deserved. It's boxing, not ****ing tickling contest.

Can't believe how much of a ****ing joke the sport is right now. These shameless crooks make Arum and Don King look like saints.

I think NC would have been better than technical draw but either way there is no way it could have remained at a tko imo or we'd have people pushing and shoving no end trying to injure their opponents 'legally.'

[Leohappy]

I don't like this ruling. The fight should be called a NC, and title given to Dawson, to respect the spirit of the original ruling which was TKO2. Hopkins should be given the right to get the first crack at the title. They did this after stripping Bradley. Double standards FTW! The next CSAC meeting is 12/13/2011 btw. I don't have anything against Hopkins, but he should not be getting that preferential treatment just because he's a cash cow and GBP fighter.
