Thank God I didn't bet for that fight...

I was at the fight..... What a scam!! He doesnt have a dislocated shoulder, please! The fall he took was harmless. Even a man twice his age would get up from that and brush it off. When you watch the replay next week you'll see this spill and see for yourself that the guy is faking!

I thought Hopkins died years ago Boxing is nothing more than the WWE...it's garbage...now Hopkins will want a re-match so he can cash again....child please

ian if it was ruled an accidental foul under four rounds, and any fighter can't continue, means no contest regardless of who is winning on the cards right? what if a fighter is winning on the cards, fight is under 4 rounds, fighter gets intentionally fouled, fighter can't continue, what would be the ruling? what if a fighter is up on the scorecards fight under 4 rounds, but gets called for an intentional foul where the losing fighting claims he can't continue, what would be the ruling? if 4 rounds or after the losing fighter intentionally fouls and the winning fighter, fighter can't continue, what happens? if 4 rounds or beyond the winning fighter intentionally fouls and the losing fighter can't continue, what happens? thanks

no,it wasn`t...the ref distinctly said,"no foul"....he said it several times....it wasn`t a "tko"...it was a "stoppage due to injury and the fighter couldn`t continue"..... listen to the ref,not lederman,lampley and kellerman...they all had a vested interest(hbo and golden boy) in giving hopkins side of the issue..... the ref is the arbiter...not the announcers...

yeah i know dude, iwas actually asking a question, about possible different scenarios,but i got two different answers, still not about this fight though
