Yea ducking low to avoid a punch is normal, that's part of boxing. He didn't duck low and in like some people do.
Hopkins did what he always does, threw a right hand and tried to smother Dawson with his weight. That is borderline legal and so is shrugging someone off of you. This whole "cuffed the leg and threw him down" thing is a myth. That did not happen, the only image of it is a poor angle of Dawson's glove.
Dawson found Hopkins on top of him, lifted up and shrugged off...yes, he did it with some authority, but who could blame him?
It should be ruled a NC, there's no doubt....but I'm glad someone stood up to Hopkins' tactics. They've been working and they're part of what make him great, but they're an eyesore and someone needed to do something about them.
