Gary Shaw: "Hopkins lied about his shoulder injury"

[Russian Crushin]

I see alot of people saying that but why would he do that when he was in the fight and Chad was literally doing nothing in the fight.

Trying to get a DQ which would be an easy win allowing him to keep his belt

Also he is a habitual faker. Look at the Calzaghe and RJJ II fights

No disrespect to Bhop but i agree with Shaw, Bhop has every reason to fake the injury, Gets to keep his belt, gets to prepare again for dawson, get to get paid for 3 rounds without breaking sweat and then getting paid again for the rematch, For me he has nothing to lose anyways because of his age people dont expect him to win.
