Hopkins vs. Dawson on HBO PPV Oct 15th (Offical Sat Night chat thread)

Kermit Cintron would have been proud of that act but I think that will be overruled by the comission no matter what Harold says. No contest by Tuesday.

What did Harold say?

That the refereeing decision was final and cannot be overruled by the commission.

Total bullshit if true.

Chad should be DQ'd if anything.

Bollocks. He pushed an octopus away, I see nothing particularly scandalous in Dawson's behaviour.

Miles we all know that had Hopkins thrown Dawson and been awarded a TKO you would be frothing at the mouth and creating at least half a dozen threads about how it was the worst decision in boxing history.

You are so myopic it's unreal.

No, Dawson has no history of that and would not have done it, so there is no point even considering the alternative. Hopkins has a history of this and I don't have sympathy just because he is old.

I don't even see how it can be a TKO, if a fighter can't continue before 4 rounds isn't it a no contest like when a fighter gets cut due to illegal blow ? there was no count either so im totally confused here has the ref just made up his own rules ?
