Hopkins-Dawson II April 28

[Manos de Piedra]

I pick Hopkins to win this. Dawson looked rattled after the first fight, refusing the rematch and those antics. It will be close for about 4 rounds then its all Hopkins. Hopkins is very smart and you can never count a smart fighter out.

I'm really glad this has been made. Sentimentally, I'd like to see Hopkins win but I think it's better for the sport if Dawson wins and looks great doing it (i.e., finally looks like he's reaching his potential). I do think Dawson will edge it -- but it's nearly impossible to look good against Hopkins.

If Dawson can step up and keep his foot on the gas for all 12 rounds, he should win this and should beat Cloud pretty convincingly. Then the fight I'd want to see in 2-3 years is a fight with Andre Ward.

Not an exciting fight. But chad didn't deserve to win the way he did, and b hop didn't deserve to get off the hook with the performance or excuse me injury he tried to pull off. Fight settle this shit then the winner fight cloud.

I think Dawson wins this convincingly. He will win it 8-4 like Calzaghe. He just needs to make sure he focuses on his output and he will outwork the old man.

Lol. Nothing if not persistent.

I think Dawson has some physical advantages and of course has the youth, who doesn't vs Hopkins but I can't get away from thinking Hopkins has him reacting and has him right where he wants him mentally. I think Hopkins takes this. Both of these guys need a conclusive, emphatic result to move on I think. Dawson with that clean cut the head of the dragon win vs a atg, and if it's Hopkins swan song I hope the same. Even in defeat as strange as it sounds, if he loses I hope it's clean and with a count. No SDs, no draws and no dispute. Very happy they made the rematch!!!
