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

[mrkyll]

What an abrupt ending. I'm glad I did not order the ppv for that one. Jesus Christ...

Bernard has faked in the past, especially in the Roy Jones rematch, but tonight Dawson scooped up Hopkins and dumped him on the ground.

Easily could have been a DQ, which might have been what Hopkins was aiming for and may have milked it a bit.

A no contest is the LEAST it could be.

But a fucking TKO win for Dawson !? WTF !?

Dawson did NOT scoop him up. Watch the video, Hopkins was climbing on his back. His right foot was already in the air before Dawson made his contact

Dawson ducked under Bernard, lifted him up with his torso, and for added help he used his left arm to lift Hopkins leg up and then throw him to the ground.

Watch it again. Bernard almost hopped up on his back. His right leg was off the ground. Tape don't lie

Looks like a doctor has said Hopkins dislocated a joint that connects the collar bone to the shoulder blade. No faking in this fight, hard to see them not changing it to a no decision.
