	*A right-left, right-left combination from Joseph Smith Jr. sent Bernard Hopkins through the ropes backwards to floor. Hopkins stood up fine at the count of 8, and then watched referee [[Jack Reiss]] in the ring above him 20 count him out. Hopkins complained he was pushed out of the ring, and said he could walk on his legs but not move well enough to continue. Video replay showed Hopkins was knocked out of ring cleanly by Smith's punches when Bernard was trapped along the ropes and not moving. Video replay revealed Bernard's right shoulder and part of his body were already outside of the ring before Smith's final blow, perhaps providing grounds for an appeal for a No-Contest with the CSAC, or perhaps not. Smith's final blow began its momentum while Bernard was still in the ring.		*A right-left, right-left combination from Joseph Smith Jr. sent Bernard Hopkins through the ropes backwards to floor.
