When Bernard gets his belt back should he give Dawson a rematch ?

[Taeth]

So you are in the minority that believe this TKO "win" will stand ?

Shaw has already said even if the WBC mandates a rematch they won't obey it and will give up the belt.

So either way Dawson is losing that belt he "won".

Dawson is doing that because he's scared and knows if Hopkins ever gets into the ring with him again he's gonna make him pay for all the post fight antics. Dawson has always been a sucker for a right hand and Hopkins caught him with one that put his glove on the canvas.

So he is taking any chance he can to get away from Hopkins after talking all that trash after the fight never wants to get in the ring with him again.

Dawson is going to duck Hopkins now and try to parade himself around as the 'peoples' champ, the writing's on the wall. Dawson doesn't want anymore of Hopkins and if he was so heated after the fight he would want to avenge it and give Hopkins the beating he claims he can... but he doesn't, he talked a lot of trash and is trying to stand behind it to avoid a rematch. That's a punk move. Sad thing is people are gonna buy it.

Are you kidding? Dawson was winning that fight. Bernard had no answers for his speed and reach. This was the first time Hopkins simply couldn't sucker a guy. Dawson has no reason to duck Hopkins, he wins an easy, boring fight if they fight again. Hopkins had no hope in that fight. He simply couldn't get off with hardly anything effective.

How can anybody actually make an argument for Dawson or Hopkins to be winning when not even 2 rounds were complete, the fight had no action in it what so ever. It would have gone 12 rounds and no doubt it would have been close. I think there is no way Dawson can win off throwing Hopkins to the floor and the evidence shows that Hopkins wasn't faking...there needs to be a rematch to settle this shit because it's not fair on either fighter IMO. No way Dawson in his own head can take that as a win, he's out of his mind if he actually just thinks he's beaten Hopkins. The fight hadn't even started at all.
