Hopkins vs. Dawson on HBO PPV Oct 15th (Offical Sat Night chat thread)

[CFH]

FYI, about 65% of those who voted in the poll so far are picking Hopkins by decision, there doesn't seem to be much faith in Dawson getting the "W".

Dawson reminds me of Jermaine Taylor in some ways. He has a ton of skill - he's fast, he can punch, but he always seems to disappoint. He's so inconsistent that it's hard to pick him to beat a master like B-Hop, even an ancient one.

Agree big time. Its the one point based on most Dawson picks....workrate. But I don't see much of it. Did he find one to follow on a regular basis? I think he's still experimenting with it and even an old crusty but rejuvenated Hopkins is no ones lab rat.

Maybe old fans let go of old fighter stubbornly, but I still see Hopkins breaking him down and pulling away somewhat wide over 12

Hopkins too hungry and Dawson doesn't have enough heart. Speed, Strength and age might be on his side but I won't bet against old Bernard.

When you think about it, it doesn't say much about Dawson when a 46 year old fighter is favored by most to defeat him. I still think this will be a close fight that could go either way, and it's certainly not inconceivable, that Dawson could win a decision.

I'm picking Dawson to eek out a decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins won yet again. He hasn't been convincingly beat since 1993

I can see this going to be a 12 round snoozefest.....both styles will clash and not much will happen but Dawson will land enough to win a disappointing 12 round bore
