That was a clear tackle, not a knockout.

Bad ruling by the ref.

This kind of stuff has happened to Hopkins before.

Sometimes he brings it on with his style, sometimes he doesn't.

Update:

Dawson grabbed his leg when he threw Hopkins down.

Should be a foul.

A No contest would have been a fair ruling.

"I just heard from a recent article that Hopkins is up for an Oscar after his performance last night. He really pulled off a great show. "

Yup. I'm laughing over here. Hopkins FINALLY gets his due for his shenanigans. I hate the way he 'fights'.

Chad Dawson definitely deserved to be penalized, but, look at that takedown very carefully. Where does Hopkins land first? His ass. Then he rolled to the shoulder. He didn't separate his shoulder...pfffffffft.

If he landed dead on his shoulder I *might* believe it.

Type 'Randleman Slams Fedor' into youtube search. I couldn't believe that Fedor survived that REAL slam, but, he also went on to actually win the fight.

Someone should show that to Hopkins.
