Hopkins vs Dawson NO FOUL?!

[piye]

Firstly I think miles is a complete idiot who seems to have an issue with black fighters and culture in general. Secondly Hopkins is not blameless but this was a clear no contest.

I think you are a silly cunt who has an issue with me generally.

I have an issue with black fighters? Fuck right off with that kind of talk. Sure, I don't drive around listening to gangster rap, but I have no problems with black people nor black fighters. In fact I find that extremely insulting.

I am fond of a lot of black fighters and particularly love James Toney who I have always listed as one of my favourite fighters. However, I have no reason to defend myself on this issue as it is groundless hogwash.

I agree that miles is a good poster and usually gets it right but he is wrong here.

Hopkins has been diagnosed in hospital with A-C which is separation of the collar bone to the shoulder bone. This damage was done due to Dawson lifting Hopkins of the ground with both feet and throwing him to the floor. Last time I checked this was not a legal boxing move.

What the ref is saying is that it is okay to keep throwing and opponet to the floor until they cannot continue and you will be decalred winner by TKO. Everyone should therefore just go for the takedown from the start. This is not UFC. Ref messed up. This must be reversed. Worst decision Ive seen.

Finally Dawson showed zero class. He just damged the shoulder and possibly ended teh career of a boxing legend with a foul and had the audacity to swear at him after the fight was stopped. I hope Pascal owns him again.

If Hopkins injury is legit, then that will ultimately speak for itself. It seemed like Hopkins was playing up and that the fall wasn't particularly heavy, but if evidence is shown and Hopkins was truly injured, then ultimately I wouldn't be that bothered if the result was changed to a NC. In posting immediately after a fight nobody knows the true situation and inferences are being made ad hoc. I am not adverse to altering my viewpoint if new evidence is brought to the fore. It isn't easy for a referee to always get it right either, it is a highly difficult situation to handle.

And once again, fuck off Piye for bringing race into the debate. I think that is highly inappropriate in this thread and wrong. If I have ever made race based comments it is about white people, but only ever in talking about female preferences on the other board. That is a groundless accusation so take it back.

(who i would like to add, if he had decent punching power his career could have gone differently, I enjoy watching him box, very skillful)

Miles I'll be honest I don't much like you and yes your opinions seem bigoted to me I could care less if you like Hip Hop or not, Hip Hop is a type of music but it does not define black culture.

Let's not turn this into a silly net argument but be serious when you make threads bashing a fighters ability to speak english to a standard that you deem satisfactory as you did with the David Haye thread it's very easy for you to come across as an ignorant bigot.

Fact is different people from a variety of socio economic classes make up this country of ours and the language used by these people differs for a variety of reasons heritage, culture etc

So who but a bigot would judge someone as a lesser person due to the use of slang that you are familiar with?

People like you or Nick Griffin that's who you racist.

Same thing happend to me this morning when I went to watch what had happend last night. Luckily I watched it live but had I depended on sky plus I would have been really annoyed. Sky need to sort that out. I can see how their system works and records in set times but they need to understand that live events run over.
