Besides he did pretty well... Oscar was winning on all scorecards until round 8, then hopkins won 2 and on the 9th he got that not so hard looking hook to the side of oscar, I tihnk oscar could've gotten up, it seemed to dramatized IMO.
I have to agree. I am very suspicious about that knockout, in retrospect. It really did not seem legit. It seems pretty unthinkable that DLH would be involved in something like that, but I have a feeling the whole thing was done to put Hopkins "over", to borrow a wrestling term.

Just look at the knockdown, the reaction and then the promotion of Hopkins afterwards. DLH even made reference to the knockout at least once during a Hopkins PPV promotion, in a sort of self-deprecating manner not common in fighters.
