Should B-Hop still be Ring magazine champ?

It will all depend on what the commision do.

They will hopefully rule a no decision so nothing will change on the rankings front.

I presume Dawson has the belt now though. Will they send a delivery van around to get it back off him?

I heard one of the TV analyst say that the commission can not overturn a referee's decision. But the WBC can. It has done so in the Francisco Lorenzo vs Humberto Soto fight.

that's bullshit, the decision for the Bradley/Campbell fight was overturned to a NC same as this one should be and that wasn't for the WBC strap

You and Bilbo are right and the TV analyst is wrong.

Then there are 2 bodies who can overturn the result to a no contest which increases the possibility that it might happen.

I have no idea actually. I mean it does happen that a cut can be overruled, but not sure about a KO. There was no reversal of the Agbeko Mares fight, even though Mares only won because he got awarded a 10-8 round for punching someone in the nuts. All logic to me says that round must be rescored 10-9 to Agbeko or even 10-8 to him with Mares losing a point for the foul but that was never even considered.

I guess they would have to rule it a foul on the part of Dawson to make it a no decision. If they review it and just see it as a boxing incident, I.e Hopkins fell, not Dawsons fault, then the result will stand.

I really have no idea which way they will go. I'm leaning towards a forced immediate rematch rather than changing the title result though. I hope they rule in Hopkins favour though...
