Dawson's camp questions injury

[FinitoElDinamita]

Question is warranted. That was fake. Those of you who used to watch WWF should know better..

Alot of doctors will say anything for a buck. Let's not be naive. X-ray isn't going to work either but an MRI would be a start.

Yes its all a conspiracy !

A DOCTOR is going to put his reputation on the line to settle a boxing dispute...

Talk your shit now Dawson, Bernard's STILL the Champ.

As Dawkins says to the creationists 'show me the evidence'. Hopkins injury is currently up there with the claims of the Bible bashers. All we have are the words of a doctor and nothing more. It is akin to getting your facts from the pulpit.

Show us the scans, Bernard. Otherwise I call your bluff. I can claim to be the Queen and have Bilbo back me up, but those words are proof of nothing.

How much proof do you need ? Doctor has said there was an injury, that's more than enough.

What reason would Bernard have to fake an injury to get out of the fight after only 2 rounds of action where both rounds were competitive and neither guy landed anything significant.

If Dawson was kicking his ass in those rounds fine but faking an injury with the way those rounds went, i just don't see it.

Doctors are not always reliable. Pay them enough and they will make things up and become as corrupt as anyone else. In fact many doctors are nothing more than legalised drug dealers. They are all too willing to give you your quick fix.

I would prefer to see evidence rather than take the word of a well paid doctor.

While i agree to a certain extent that doctors aren't always reliable, this doctor would be putting alot on the line to lie about a big fight like this so i just don't see him making it up.

I also don't see why Hopkins would fake an injury when the fight only went two rounds and neither guy did anything of note in those two rounds.

I'd understand if Dawson was dominating but he wasn't. Both fighters were feeling each other out at that point.

I think your making something out of nothing with Hopkins "faking" really. He had no reason to so just accept he got hurt and let's move on.

I read this on boxingtalk.com re: the injury.

"SE: The main reason I'm doing this follow-up interview is because you sent me an e-mail you recieved from your friend who is in the medical field. Can you elaborate?:

JS: Basically my friend told me that Hopkins would have been in much more distress if he injury was legit. To me, Hopkins looked like he had a bad sunburn, with that face he makes. My friend also told me that the doctor gave that diagnosis from what Hopkins told him. Whenever you go to a doctor, they ask you a series of questions and from your answers they diagnose. It's no differenct then when you miss work, and you tell the doctor your symptoms, they diagnose you from what you tell them. In Bernard's case, his injury is supposed to have levels one through five. It's like having a broken arm. There are different levels to having a break. There are compound fractures, hair line fractures etc. Same thing here. We would need an MRI to really determine what happened."
