Comments Thread For: Dawson Trainer Scully Thinks Hopkins Faked Injury

[Canelo Kev]

lol at any ****ers calling that a tackle. That was literally a shrug. There was barely any grabbing behind the leg, and Dawson wasnt grabbing there at all when Hopkins actually started falling off his back.

Hopkins does dirty **** all the time and gets away with it. He was trying to push down on Dawson to tire him out like he usually does, and it didnt go his way, he got injured.

Thats boxing, he lost.

Completely agree. Looking for a way out, knew he was going to lose after the first round. A guy that gets thumped for a living can't continue because he fell on his bum. **** OFF!!!!!

the wbc and athletic commission need to order a rematch! Dawson & Hopkins are the top 2 light heavyweights & need to settle who's 1 & 2.

actually neither are at fault. Hopkins lunged in from the outside with a shot, dawson ducked making hopkins miss, the result was hopkins landing on the ducking Dawsons back. As Dawson rose up he lifted and slightly shoved hopkins off, and hopkins fell to the canvas.

So it wasn't intentional by either, just an unfortunate event that occurred.

As far as the injury goes unless your bernard hopkins it's impossible to know one way or the other.

Your post is like that of being an impartial judge or jury, and in a perfect world this would be so. But this is not like a boxing fan, which I know you are. Even in a judges decision he would be at least, and sometimes mostly, guided by precedent, and the precedents here ALL point to the almost certainly that Hopkins was a deliberate original culprit, and deliberately faked either his injury, or the extent of it, of which we have no real evidence except Hopkins saying "Ouch, it hurts there"..........hoping to get either penalty points or a DQ.

i looked it up and a-c separation does actually take around 2 to 3 months to heal, depending on the grade of separation.

The 1A degree of separation takes only a few weeks, and actually can be and many a time has been, fought through. Even partial rotator cuff tears have been fought through.

Well i guess a 46 years old getting hurt after he was slammed is impossible according to some fans.

Im sorry but from all the sports i watch, whenever someone gets taken off their feet or get their legs taken out from under them like that 9 out of 10 times that person gets hurt so why is it so impossible that hopkins actually did get get hurt. i can understand if hopkins was just walking backwards and tripped and said he was hurt and people say he faking i would agree with that. But the man got taken off his feet.

He wasn't "slammed" stop exaggerating, he was shrugged off, by the action of Dawson straightening up. He wasn't even thrown under the ropes as many like to say, he ended against the ropes from the second one down, and they gave way enough for him toind flat under them.

You missed the part where Dawson clearly cuffed his leg, and gave him a shoulder shrug.

I think, that's called single leg takedown in MMA.

I'm glad you brought that up, because now i can say...have another look, maybe you'll need 10 looks in case you don't actually see what happened.

Because he was bent over, and being pressed down, his left arm dangled, and in beginning to lift himself straight, his glove touched Hopkins' leg, it didn't curl around it or grab it, he took his glove away and continued straightning up, and shrugged Hopkins off.

In fact have 20 more "looks".......
