They have ordered the rematch and also the Commission has ruled the first bout a no-contest.

Good and even though the selected "styles" may draw flies from some it's needed for resolution, and both should want it!

I like Hopkins still. One round is far from determining the outcome or how things would have panned out for either guy. I think he can rattle Dawson and is well in his head, I just don't see Dawson having the mentality of maintaining pace and needed pressure.

.....wait, i misread this at first. So WBC is scheduling a mandatory rematch?! <_< They better not PPV this

Good call. Hopkins takes him, Dawson seemed a little rattled after the last fight. BHOP has got in his head and made a mess. Hopkins wide UD second time out.

Good. But Hopkins will just vacate the belt and not do it. Schaeffer already said as much. It's a shame -- it's definitely the most competitive fight out there for Hopkins (given that he won't fight Ward). He beats Bute for sure, so that's the fight we're more likely to see.

Chad lacks passion and is totally non-charismatic, but as his best he is a beautiful boxer and should beat this version of Hopkins. His mentality totally determines the outcome.

Dawson/Pascal II otherwise. Probably the same card as Hopkins/Bute.

yeah it better not be on ppv. I dont think the first fight should have been on ppv. what they should do is put Ortiz/berto II on ppv and maybe James Kirklands next fight, its always the smaller personalities in boxing that put on the best fights. its just a shame that too many people are watching Nascar instead of paying to c a real sport yeah?

Hopkins will not fight him, Dawson would beat him, Hopkins wants bigger and easier fights.

I think they should rematch, we saw one full round and neither fighter was in their stride at all. The fight was rightfully a no contest and with all the bitching Dawson has done I believe the rematch would be in interesting fight. I would be up for this rematch, I do hope it happens.
