I really can't doubt Hopkins on what he's saying here. I am thoroughly convinced he knocks Dawson around late who I think will become stuck in between styles. This is the WRONG guy to experiment with when it comes to new found pressure and hard mentality for Dawson....Manny ain't fighting the fight for him.

I don't think Steward can really get much more out of DAwson than Dawson has shown in the past.

Dawson is passive. That is his makeup. He takes rounds off if he is ahead. He takes parts of rounds off (end of rounds when he has won the first 2-2.5 mins of the round). He just isn't aggressive.

Do I think Dawson can't win the fight? No, I don't think that he can't win. He has good physical skills that could really give BHOP trouble. If BHOP can dictate the pace and the distance of the fight then he will win the fight because of his greater desire and passion.

Plus, at what point does BHOP get very old overnight

I pick BHOP but it should be an intriguing affair.

I'm beginning to wonder if BHOP already has grown old and has just learned to fight in a way that hides it. That's impossible, right?

he has grown old and hides it amazingly well. But his mind is still young and he uses all the tools of the trade. Hitting on the hip, low blows, spinning a guy, headbutts, head games. He uses all of that and he has such good sneaky straight rights. He leads with that sneaky right hands and guys just don't expect it.

Gibson is going to get KO'd violently by a right hand in a minute.

[captainanddew]

Gibson is a better athlete. Hughes's left hand just needs to be higher. Leaving yourself wide open to the right hand is a bad idea!!!!!!!

[killersheep]

Both guys are dead tired now,.

Why does this guy remind me of Mayweather, for all the wrong reasons.

You aint a super star yet son...do your time

I was thinking he looked a little like Duckweather myself.

I think you meant Hughes Capt, BTW, Cheers.

it gets hard to remember which no name guy is which!!!! Kudos to Hughes for hanging in and to Gibson for throwing some good right hands (he needs to throw some body shots!!!!!)

[Mars_ax]

Gibson has some talent/skill/power, but needs to work on his stamina, he looked gassed several times during the fight, I don't think Hughes is going anywhere with his career.

[Spicoli]

Dammit!!!!!!

RIP Ledoux. Only really saw him on the mic...and he made you smile.

[captainanddew]

I like this swing bout. 2 local guys who want to make something of their part-time boxing career. Both look like decent athletes.

Yup. That left hook just doesn't miss.

[killersheep]

Is Hughes bleeding out of the back of his head?

[Mars_ax]

Gibson seems to have the better fire power, Hughes is game however, 2nd KD.
