Is this true? If so, WHY???????? (Hopkins)...

[PACnPBFsuck]

I was just told that Hopkins corner put ice packs on his shoulder AFTER THE FIRST ROUND, BEFORE THE SECOND...if so...hmmm....WHY would they do that (before he was injured)???

Are you saying what I think you're saying? Hopkins had a fever, I knew it.

By the way ICEMAN i'm a huge Dawson fan, if you can send me some signed gloves from Dawson I would appreciate it.

Well, I would appreciate if u would SEND the gloves to me and include postage for the return and Ill hook u up, definitely...

What?!?!?!?!

I'll send you gloves and pay for shipping and return shipping if you could hook me up with Chad's autograph.

Get real John, you know very well the state of California doesn't allow you to pour water on your fighters, you have to use ice packs to cool them.

Stop with the sour g****s. Bernard Hopkins is the Champ, Chad is not. If he wants to be the Champ, he should try fighting Bernard again, and actually winning legitimately this time.

Relax, man, dont start insulting me for no reason...sour g****s?...if you were a trainer or involved with a fighter in this same exact situation you would have raised eye brows, too...and heres the thing, cooling them doesnt call for icing their SHOULDERS...never seen that in all my years...if u want to cool a fighter you touch the nerves on the back of his neck with water or ice, thats a reviver...

Cooling with Ice involves icing the Carotid Artery, which could easily be confused for icing the shoulder. That isn't the point though.

The point is, you are making all kinds of accusations, without providing proof. Its very unbecoming, and unprofessional.

Dawson is a nice guy, met him in Vegas at the Hatton-Malignaggi fight and he autographed a picture for me and took pictures with me and all my friends.

As for the topic at hand. The thing that really bothered me was the fact that Hopkins acted as if he was in absolutely excruciating pain. Pain so severe that it prevented him from getting to his feet.


When I shattered my thumb into 4 pieces playing football it didn't result in me sitting on my ass crying for 5 minutes as if I had broken my leg and I am pretty certain the pain I experienced was worse than what Hopkins felt.

Even if that isn't the case what I found fishy was that within 5 minutes of his "injury" Hopkins was able to look Max Kellerman in the eye and flex his shoulder muscles without any painfl reaction.

If the injury was so painful that he couldn't rise from his feet, and so painful that he couldn't continue, I don't believe for one second he could have flexed the surrounding muscles without so much as an inkling of pain in his eyes.

Its obvious he faked it.

With some of the INSANE STUFF u and others post on this board and you are saying what I am saying is UNPROFESSIONAL??? Are you serious?!!? Man, thats amazing...and the fact is I am pointing out something I noticed and wanting to see what others think of it, hence the reason for message boards in the first place. I am hardly believing you of all people are calling me unprofessional and unbecoming when you can read some of the most hateful, unprofessional, manical, insane words ever printed on any one of a million message boards and yet you choose my one observation as the one to call out on...and what accusation did I make? You just wrote: "The point is, you are making all kinds of accusations"...what accusation did I make exactly?
