Did Hopkins past antics and play acting catch up with him last night?

In the past Hopkins has faked injury to give him an advantage,the Calzaghe fight is a prime example.

Do you think this afected the reffs desisions last night.

wel, using your example, JC faked hitting people to gain advantages in his fights and never got reprimanded for it.

I think the referee should be sacked, tbh. They employee some idiots as refs.

That's iditiotic. By that logic, Paulie Malignaggi should get points deducted for punching.

Another awful decision in boxing....no wonder the sport struggles to increase its fan base.


Dawson clearly pushed him off, both legs off the ground and landed on his elbow regardless of if he was making it look worse, thats what happened and he could have easily been injured from a result of that.

Why was Hopkins on top of Dawson though? He put himself in that position. Dawson nudged because Hopkins was leaning all his weight on him to push him to the ground.

How can I answer that? Hopkins was probably leaning on him like you said and pushing him down (basically being a bit dirty) like most do in that situation...Dawson didnt just nudge him though he wasnt liking it and fair enough so the nudge ended up being more of a throw. A nudge wouldnt have lifted both legs off the floor.

Dont get me wrong Hopkins is just as much too blame but you cant end the fight as a TKO thats just a joke.
