For now, the particular knockout reduction remains on Hopkins' report plus the knockout victory remains on Dawson's till the actual California money overturns your result, which will it may as well as may well not complete when the idea fulfills on Dec. 13, its up coming on a regular basis planned meeting.
Hopkins, that's as a result of receive the outcomes with Friday with the MRI this individual possessed Tuesday on his suffering a loss shoulder, filled out a basic protest belonging to the attack consequence to the California money on Tuesday and is wanting to hold the effect changed to somewhat of a disqualification victory within his or her favor. Hopkins' camp would like that commission to own a exclusive listening to so they really style put it off a pair of far more many months regarding a new ruling.
The WBC changed quickly.
"The scalp places of work of your WBC sent videos, professional medical accounts as well as that WBC corresponding protocols towards Board connected with Governors, in which unanimously announced some sort of specialized draw around the fight. Therefore, Bernard Hopkins continues to be your WBC light heavyweight champion of the world," WBC chief executive Jose Sulaiman wrote from the ruling.
Hopkins, who, with age 46, evolved into this earliest fighter in boxing record to help win a new world championship with May by outpointing Jean Pascal, reveled while in the WBC's decision.
"I'd love to thank Mr. Sulaiman as well as this aboard for shopping at that tape along with just for taking the time to consider the tape," Hopkins said.

But if not, I can certainly wait. I'm normally about the conclusion with poor decisions, such as inside Joe Calzaghe fight and also the Jermain Taylor fights. It thinks excellent for being to the correct end regarding a decision."
According to Sulaiman's ruling your WBC board:
Reviewed the actual struggle training video and also "unanimously stated in which this actions demonstrates a clear intentional working out with one's body implemented with some sort of thrust by Dawson for you to Hopkins which designed him or her slip on his or her still left part with part involving their human body out of the ropes."

Considered it is policies governing fouls plus located Dawson's shove to get been a foul because it ideas them when "any difficult tactics besides thoroughly clean punches."
Sulaiman as well reported by many policies governing fouls along with injury and how to manage them.
