B-Hop vs Dawson ---- Who Wins???

[DavilaJones]

In my opinion Dawson has one problem. Hes comfortable. If he can fight a 25 punch a round fight he will not step up to 30-35.

He's technically solid uses his beautiful jab and hooks off of it simply by pivoting rather than stepping around his opponent.

He should by all accounts win this but he won't.

Hopkins. I've tried but I just can't speak Dawson. If anything he has thus far been comprised of too many ifs...mights...and maybes. Hopkins has already set the tempo in this one and I dont care if he's collecting social security, I see him too deep and confident for a guy who has a pattern of rematches to get things clear and fires the trainer who tried to make him more assertive.

Love to see Hopkins walk away with another win over a younger lion but I think Dawson is victorious in this one

Fan of B-Hop, so hopefully he wins, but I think Dawson will win.

Dawson will stop him IMO. Hopkins is too old and past it now.

Dawson will stalk him down and Hopkins will try to spoil his way through.

I think Dawson wins this too especially on the evidence of their first fight. But I'm going to predict a Hopkins win. I think he does enough to get the decision -- it'll be a close fight and normally the emerging guy would get the hall-of-famer on his reume but this particular emerging guy can't draw flies, has zero box office value. The new head of HBO boxing likes Hopkins and he's a bigger draw in Vegas so if he manages to make it a close fight I'm guessing he'll get the decision.

EDIT: After watching Abril-Rios if Hopkins makes it to the end of the twelfth round still on his feet then he gets the decision.

As much as Hopkins will spoil, I really think Dawson will stop Hopkins. IMHO, Hopkins took a way out of the last fight because Dawson came with fight. Dawson wins by stoppage, and a ready and on his A-Game stops Jean Pascal too. Its time for Hopkins to bow out, but he'll have something to complain about.

I surprising stayed up for the last fight and was not happy with the outcome. I may not stay up for this fight this time. I will support B Hop but think he will lose. Dawson is all wrong for Hopkins, he is tall, young, fearless, hungry and legitimate fighter at the weight. The only thing going for Hopkins is that Chad is a southpaw but watching the first fight Dawson was easily avoiding the right hands. Dawson will win a points decision but hope I am wrong.
