Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson II - Saturday night fight thread

[captainanddew]

6-3 Dawson and that is me being perhaps too kind to Hopkins. He needs KD's.

I have 6 clear Dawson rounds. 2 clear BHOP rounds. 1 round I thought was close.

BHOP has 8 mins to do something and he isn't a puncher.

[Gandalf]

Hopkins is happy to just go the distance. No way he has a shot at this stage.

10th to Dawson where both looked like they were waiting for a bus to come or a pot of coffee to finish brewing...6-4 Dawson

[Majesty]

Hopkins is gonna come on in the championship rounds where Dawson tires

[captainanddew]

tackle and both go down!!!!

[Gandalf]

Hopkins tried a bit there, but then the old let's jump on the floor strategy. Hopkins is done.

[Majesty]

Anyone hear Hopkins say "my right hand's not showing up." ?

[captainanddew]

11th was a close round.

If BHOP wins more than 4 rounds then the judges screwed up.

[armin]

How does bhop not get any pts deducted...crazy

[Mars_ax]

I've got Dawson way up 8-3 in rounds after 11, and Hop needing a KO, but this is Atlantic City so anything can happen on the scorecards.

[Spicoli]

Round Hopkins in 11th 7-5. Both lose cosmetic points

[Majesty]

Hopkins won 4 clear rounds and the first 2 were close. More than likely gonna lose the decision 7 to 5.

[Gandalf]

Ugly, dirty fight. Dawson wins 9-3 for me. Dawson was a little lazy though and Hopkins outright awful to watch. Hopefully no Texas style shenanigans.

[Spicoli]

7-5 for Dawson. He didnt impress me terribly but Dawson busier if anything. I'd rather see Hopkins fight like a 47 yr old pace than Dawson do it though.

[Majesty]

Dawson will probably win it 7 to 5, but I can almost guarantee one judge is going to have it even.
