Anybody that knows the rules of Boxing knows that a cut caused by an accidental headbutt cannot lead a TKO win. Bernard Hopkins is credited with a TKO victory he did not earn right now, and we demand the commission look into this. Tommy Ryan was ahead on the cards, and would've received a Technical win had the bout had gone to the scorecards AS IT SHOULD'VE according to the rules of Boxing.

Tommy Ryan Tech. Win 8 Bernard Hopkins!

We all know that was the rightful result

I think I have an answer

Ryan had multiple cuts on his face and the one caused by the headbutt was not the one that got the fight stopped.

as you can see below, the cut caused by the headbutt was never reopened or worsened

Cuts totals (opened/reopened/worsened) 3 / 2 / 3
Cuts after head butts (opened/reopened/worsened) 1 / 0 / 0


also, at the same time of the headbutt Hopkins threw and landed several punches, so by the looks of it Ryan was cut twice during the exchange, once by punches and then the headbutt followed but it seems the cut caused by the punches did more damage.

2:08 Hopkins lets his hands go again and gets in several scoring blows. 2:7
2:08 * Ryan is bleeding! He's cut! 2:8
2:08 * They will need to do a little work on Ryan's nose between rounds as there is a fair amount of bleeding. 2:8
2:08 * Ryan is cut after an accidental head butt.

I agree the ref should have called time to assess the headbutt but as far as I can tell its not the reason the fight got stopped, I hope this helps clear things up.

OUTRAGEOUS! So the commission is siding with the crooked official eh? I can't I'm surprised, but I will say this. If we can't have the result overturned by God that referee better be out of a job!!!

If not there will be a lawsuit against the Commission.

referee is Pete Podgorski

I better never see Pete "Punkass" Podgorski officiating another one of my fighters fights! He's crooked!

Much Ballyhoo simply because GilligansMess can not properly train his fighters.


Let's face it, there has never been a more fair and square fighter than Barnaby Hopkins. IF he thought for 1 second that he did not deserve the win, he would not have accepted the win.

But because he earned it, he has accepted it.

It's time for the drama to come to an end, and just accept a defeat which your fighter rightfully earned.

If you don't like fighting Hopkins, then don't ever ask to fight him again. Cuz you'll just get more of the same.

Besides, he just turned YOUR fighter, into the Super Hero known as "PizzaFace".

Learn to live with it.
