The fight was starting to get rough and Mills lane went to break a clinch and accientally sent Hopkins through the ropes.
Some people think Hopkins faked the injury to the knee. Because Allen was actually wining the fight and was begining to gain momentum.
I haven't seen the fight in a long time but I think that's how the fight was going. I have about 30 Hopkins fights and I know I haven't seen them all but I've seen the Allen trilogy for sure...
Going through this just now Hopkins had a couple of rematches he shouldn't have what the hell did he fight Echols twice for?
The fight was even up till Hopkins fell out of the ring, I don't think it was his knee that he hurt. Could of been but i think it was his shoulder, i will have to check it out later.

Elchols became number 1 IBF contender making Hopkins fight him a second time, both fights were actually quite good. Second one was a dirty fight though.
