i'm a massive hopkins fan, but the ease at which he did the shoulder shrug suggests to me he was exagerating the extent of injury.

I used to play rugby with a fellow (he was also a very good boxer) whose shoulder would dislocate sometimes more than once in a match. We had a couple of doctors on the team and it would be attended to on the spot. Painful but instant.
I'll be very surprised if Hopkins had a dislocation, and believe, before the announcement, (if we ever get it- a doctor is not allowed to discuss a patient's condition without his permission, and many would not anyway) that Hopkins was playing up for all he was worth. It was he who initiated the whole action by deliberately throwing himself across Dawson 's back and pushing him down.
I'd siill be doubtful, especially if it is Hopkins or his team who issues the report. If it were to be untrue, the doctor can't contradict him anyway.

Dawson was going to win and i think Hopkins tried to fight dirty...again. But it back fired and Dawson behaved just as a fighter should have behaved... foul a fighter back during the action of the fight (not sucker punch him when he's not expecting it).
Hopkins just can't beat the young hungry fighters (since the Taylor fights).Last edited by bose; 10-18-2011, 11:58 PM.

The shoulder injury is a bad news to any boxer using Shoulder roll as defense.
What if a Boxer got hit so hard in the shoulder joint?
He gets flustered immediately with wild and hard combos in his face.
Sonny Liston experienced such injury, so he quit the fight.
