    Well Miles looks like B-Hop wasn't faking the injury. At the end of the day it seems to be that people kind of somehow justify what happen yesterday night by saying "well Hopkins is a dirty fighter and had it coming". But fair is fair and what happened yesterday should at the very least be overturned to a no contest. This is boxing not wrestling or the ufc. To let a win like this occur would be a huge black eye on the sport we love. This is not about our personal likes or dislikes with the fighters. This is about what's right and and justice. NC, immediate rematch it's fair to both parties.

    to say Hopkins deserved that is plain stupid.

    Its been a few years but I could have sworn Miles was a Hatton fan? I thought he was maybe I'm wrong but to hear him say Hopkins the spoiler and octopus cracks me up since Hatton made a living that style.

    Tko loss is not even a possibility within the boxing rules. No punches were thrown, and anyone who says Hopkins was bumming him is just an idiot. You see that sequence in Boxing all the time when fighters come together. Dawson CLEARLY and you knobs can't dispute the footage... Clearly took his left hand/glove and scooped the backside of Hopkins left knee like a wrestling takedown and shrugged him off. It was illegal!!! Now I have no problem with it.. What I have the problem with is the incompetent Ref who wrote his own rules. His job is to protect the fighters and officiate the Boxing rules. His judgement call has to be made within the guidelines. It CLEARLY wasn't it!

    The injury was sustained from a non boxing move so a TKO isint even a possibility.

    Spot on. The level of bias never ceases to amaze. No professional fighter deserves to "lose" like that and we need to expect more and not settle on horse shit like that no matter how much of an asshole we think a guy is. Today its a Bernard, tomorrow its your guy. The ref doesn't get to make it up on the fly. Trifling shit.

    Piye I tolerate some things, but I will not tolerate being called a racist without any evidence being put forth to suggest as much. I'm afraid criticizing the improper usage of English by Haye just doesn't cut it as I would argue that a significant proportion of British people have poor verbal skills. However, that is not an issue of race.

    Say any more silly crap like that again and I will have you reported to a Mod as I don't think it is acceptable to randomly tar people with the racist card. It is wrong to be racist and at the same time wrong to falsely accuse people. You can't cry rape just for a kick and likewise you can't just play the race card.

    It is cheap and the act of a lowlife.

    Report me go ahead, I will not be afraid to say my opinion for fear of consequences I am not braking any of the sites rules and I am entitled to my opinion. So go ahead report me but first stop forcing your ignorant elitist attitude down the throat of forum readers.

    My past 2 years around here I been on the down low, but I have know you on the forum for 5 years and don't remember you being a racist.

    However you have seemed to be an articulate, passive windup artist at times

    Your opinion goes both ways quite a bit as long as it suits your fancy and always leaves a mouse hole size exit door for you to squeeze out of if need to be. It is quite a skill set

    Most people have some racist in them. Some are just more upfront about it while some are indirect..

    IM not even talking about Miles either.. Just people in general.

    Sure they do.

    I would accept it if there was anything more to go on than criticizing Haye's grammar, Hopkins history of crying or my avatar suggesting that Floyd might well have a touch of the gay. It is individuals that I criticize and it doesn't matter what colour they are. If Piye was in the slightest bit aware of my history he would see that my target reach beyond boxing and there are many hues.

    It is a senseless and juvenile claim to make, so I will add no more to the argument. My posts speak for themselves and there is no race hate there at all. Sometimes I can be mean, but on a racial basis? Nah.
