What a shame it's going to be when Dawson is stripped of his title and has to rematch Hopkins. Fact of the matter is this, he can talk trash about Pascal losing to Hopkins, but Pascal beat him pretty clearly and it was him that didn't step on the gas when he should have when he had Pascal out on his feet.

See Dawson is extra frustrating for two reasons, one the way he tries to parade around like he's really the champ and insinuate that Hopkins wasn't gonna beat him and looked for a way out. If that was the case he'd have folded against Pascal the first time, and the second time when Pascal had him hurt more than once. Dawson didn't have him anywhere near that kind of trouble so he shouldn't give himself such credit, neither should any sensible fan.

Second, he talks all the trash to Pascal about having him out on his feet and being lucky, well Pascal was only lucky because Dawson didn't have it in him to try to step up the pace the multiple times he should have and only has himself to blame but pops off at the mouth like its someone else's fault.

So, once this short lived nightmare is over, I truly hope Hopkins can come back at 100% and humble Dawson badly, he has nothing to be proud of and neither does the sport of boxing.
