Hopkins vs Dawson NO FOUL?!

Let's not forget why Hopkins was on his back, it was because once again he tried to man grope Chad Dawson and clinging yourself to an opponent like an octopus is not an acceptable move either. Should a fighter just allow themselves to be hugged non-stop? No, you push your opponent off and try to force a fight. Dawson was doing just that. Hopkins seems to be made of bone china with his crying in every fight. Toney falls out the ring, he gets up and the man was so big against Oquendo that it defied the laws of physics. But Hopkins falls, seems to take most of the fall on his back and lo and behold he is injured. Now where have we seen Hopkins crying on the canvas before?

The ref saw it as a spoiler hugging and getting pushed away, it's a shame that Hopkins apparently hurt himself in the process, but at the same time he should have insisted that the fight go on. He looked like he wanted out and got it.

I actually frequently don't agree with Miles, but Miles is spot on here.

The fight should be changed to a no contest in any event. But, Hopkins disaapointed me as much as Chad did. I had the first round for Dawson and the second was looking to be for Dawson too.

How can you be dissapointed with a guy who shoulder got popped out after being slammed down to the canvas?

Why should have Hopkins be forced to fight that way. you could see in the post fight interview with kellerman that his shoulder wasn't right.

Never mind his shoulder wasn't right, i dont think his head's right come on the man's never got a good word to say about any opponent, Did Danny Williams fight with his shoulder out ? yes and he won the fight did he not. sorry to say old Bernardo you time is up, and i may send him some light reading the Queensberry Boxing

In my opinion, anyone with his shoulder popped out would be an total idiot to carry on in a boxing match. William got very lucky and was fighting a failed journeyman at the time. Dawson is a top quality athlete at the height of his game.

Think of the possible nerve damage you could cause from doing that, you might lose the use of your arm completely. You are an intelligent writer so you must be aware of that, so I am wondering why you wrote to the contrary.

But yes I do agree Bernado should have retired 10 years ago, he is just asking to be put in a wheelchair by fighting on.
