Hmmm

This is how a 46 year old man keeps his belt.

Dawson is heated

OR....this is how a 46 year old man loses his belt.

Horrible call by the referee, clearly he lifted him off his feet, I can see how he landed that could've turned out to be the outcome, and it looked like he was hurt when he landed, I wouldn't want a belt that way, but hey that's me

It looked to me like he landed on his back...but i've seen guys Hopkins age get seriously hurt by less.

Terrible call by the ref. Should have been a NO CONTEST.

Boxing!


Chad Dawson sucks

i haven't seen it yet but it all sounds very bizarre.

i guess it may vary from sanctioning body to sanctioning body but i always though a fight had to go on for so long for a technical decision to come into play.

Hopkins had the perfect opportunity to retire on the Pascal win, but he's a pig headed fool.

Couldn't be called a no contest because the ref didn't declare a foul either way.

Hopkins was unable to continue and that - in the eyes of referee Pat Russell – no clear cut foul had taken place, the sequence was ruled as a technical knockout due to injury.

“The referee never called it a foul – be it unintentional or intentional, and Hopkins was unable to continue, therefore it was a technical knockout victory,” explained George Dodd, Executive Officer of the California State Athletic Commission, when asked why a no-decision wasn’t instead called. “That’s something we have to discuss with the referee, but he didn’t make the ruling which is why we have to call it a TKO victory for now.”



This tells you the Commission will review it and render a decision.

Thats why i feel its a terrible call by the ref.

This has to get turned into a no contest, the ref did not even give him a chance to fight, nor tell him if you can't fight it will be a TKO, used to love boxing but from people ducking each other to this kinda thing, wow, I would've been pissed if I had actually paid to watch that debacle, although the fight right before was pretty damn good.

It should be a no contest. I can see how Hopkins could have hurt his shoulder Kings. I thought he landed more on his shoulder and on the corner of the ring. That shit probably hurt! Chad Dawson is a bee-itch!

Settle down, Bernard just got a taste of his own method and didn't like it. To be honest even though there was only two rounds it looked like it was going to be a long night for Hopkins, we were spared another ugly fight.

You're right, he probably didn't like the dislocation that occurred. I wouldn't either if I was in the middle of a boxing match

Dawson is a bitch

And Hopkins is a pussy.

Dawson is right, so much for the tough gangster from Philly, those Antown Echols days are far behind him.

Lol yeah he's a pussy for not fighting through a dislocation

Amazing that you'll call Hopkins a pussy while rooting for bitches that call people out for years and then complain about a toe injury and retire lol

I've had enough of Hopkins antics, it's time he hung them up already. He'll get no sympathy from me after years of Oscar acting inside the ring, I've still not forgiven him for that five minute phantom low blow farce from the Calzaghe fight.

Ali I agree with u I think it was gonna be along night for B-Hop and I didnt think he was gonna win but u cant call him a pussy for getting hurt and not being able to fight.

It looked like to me that Dawson wa going to be able to withstand Hopkin's tactics and land blows ala Jermaine Taylor, and win the fight, but I don't think that halfway into the second round Hopkins thought I need to get out of this fight, lefit injury, bullshit call, and hope it gets overturned and we get to see the fight again, Dawson saying he is not going to fight him agan, I'm thinking that will be your next fight "Bad" Chad, who's bad

Dawson isn't even a has been, he's a never was. What a clown

A win over Hopkins will put him on the map though, a legit win that is.

That was quick

Right call

Dawson vs. Pascal II needs to happen next.
