very bad decision....
I dont think sporting decisions should be made on personal opinion but facts
the ref and everyone should have been made to watch the video proof
as hopkins did land on his shoulder... and that was a foul not a punch that made him fall
that referee should beaten with a baseball bat

boxing, much like americ

[Borracho]

How about that last mayweather fight too. Professional boxing is a joke. WWE seems more realistic these days.

Stevie Wonder would have put up a better fight than Tay Bludsoe did against Ferguson. He'd lost his last 3 fights by TKO.

Bernard Hopkins got paid $2,874 PER SECOND for last night's fight. Another black eye for boxing.

[Swede!]

so what did the doctor say after the fight?

kimbo will do better in boxing than he did in mma, given he didnt have and was too old to develop a ground game.  all they have to do is keep him from a guy like gannon with a chin, esp in his first 20 fights or so.

will he be a contender? 

you can tomato can him to a million dollar payday vs a good contender, which he will get knocked the phuck out, but he'll get some money in the bank.

Hopkins is the most OVERRATED boxer in history with Roy Jones!
Hopkins and Jones were lucky to be born in an era of mediocrity in their rispective weight class (middleweight and lightheavyweight) and the proof is the fact the both of them lost clearly when they fought a good boxer like Calzaghe who spanked both of them on american soil in front of american judges!
Imagine if Hopkins or Jones were fighting in the 70 and the 80 when Monzon and Hagler were world champion. Hopkins and Jones would never become world champion in the 70 and 80 and would be knock out silly by Monzon or Hagler!
Jones always been a cherrypicker and Hopkins a dirty boring boxer!
Yesterday Hopkins bitch out from the fight because he knew he was going to get his ass beaten and found an easy way out faking a shoulder injury!
Spectacle like that with combine like Mayweather vs Ortiz are what is killing the sport of boxing!
Thank God for some young and talented boxer like Di Marco vs Linares that saved the night at Staple Center with a great fight!
Enjoy this two young talented fearless boxer!

i didn't see an advantage one way or the other, but hopkins would know if it wasn't going to be his night.  they did a mri and said minor dislocation, possible tear. obivously, if you are a paying customer, they will dx something in a hospital.

i want to believe it was legit, but think he bailed on the fight.  dawson just gave him the opportunity.  same BS like cintron.
