BERNARD Hopkins was stopped for the first time in his career in bizarre fashion on Saturday, unable to continue in the WBC light heavyweight title fight in Los Angeles after Chad Dawson lifted him and tossed him to the canvas late in the second round. Dawson (31-1, 18 KOs) claimed the belt from the 46-year-old Hopkins (52-6-3) after referee Pat Russell's contentious decision that Dawson hadn't fouled Hopkins. When Hopkins leaned over the crouching Dawson after throwing an overhand right, Dawson lifted Hopkins off his feet before shrugging him onto the canvas. Hopkins landed roughly on his left shoulder, obviously in pain.
