- Something Hopkins called for because he has a long history of faking all sort of things in order to save time. Would Hopkins never have done that, perhaps Russell would have make the good decision instead of this awful judgement.

And Hopkins has a long history of controversy, I wouldn't put anything past him, including faking the severity of an injury in the hopes of winning by DQ, why is that so hard to believe?

Bhop clearly tried to deck his opponent a point regulalry by faking low blows, but has he ever tried to disqualify an opponent entirely?

Perhaps theres a thinner line between the two than I am making out.

However theres no doubting on video evidence that this is down to Dawson losing his rag, clearly lifting his opponent in a wrestling move and thus cheating, and the ref not noticing it. They should both be reprimanded.
