Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson II - Saturday night fight thread

[Spicoli]

I cannot get away from seeing Hopkins turn back the clock...again. I've seen no indication in Dawson that he is ready or willing to 'seek & destroy' and if he settles and plays chess with Hopkins I think he'll lose by a few. Im looking forward to this one and don't think it will be a lemon. Hopkins via dec.

Early fan demand...Smoger as ref!

Would love to see another classic Hopkins performance, but I think Dawson wins it here. I hate picking against Hopkins. He proved me wrong against Trinidad, Tarver & Pascal x2. If Dawson's focused he wins this

Mars - what up with a Friday Night Thread? I'll be on, man. My favorite light heavyweight, Sillakh is fighting an undefeated Russian that I've seen before, and isn't half bad. Plus, we have the South African Super Middleweight on Showbox.

Handle business, my man.

It feels like this could finally be the night Hopkins bit off more than he can chew and will show his age.

BUT I thought that about the FIRST Pascal fight.

So I see this one going similar with Dawson coming on early and giving us Hopkins fans a scare, then Bernard lulling him into Bernard's type of fight and coming on strong during the middle and late rounds.

By the end Dawson will be tired and so will Bernard, but Dawson will be showing it more and look the loser.

Could go a lot like the 1st Taylor fight, in which case the judges may very well fuck Bernard again.

God I hope they don't.

HBO should have done a Face Off with these two. Probably would have rivaled the Pascal one.

I believe Dawson will be bringing it the entire fight (for a change), knocking Hopkins down a time or 2 but not stopping him on his way to a pretty clearcut UD. Hop will whine and bitch, say he was robbed, and so will some of his fans, but that's to be expected. I bet if you asked Hopkins, he'd tell you that he's never lost a fight, except perhaps the one with RJJ.

What time is the main event? On a night out tonight, going to see loco dice in Leeds and I want to try and come back in time for the fight, hopefully it's a late one.

Mitchell is tough and looks like a freight train, but let's not forget that it was chazz witherspoon in the other corner...arreolla did a better job. Hope hbo doesn't get retarded and pushes for a klit fight right away cause he gets ate up...also god blessed me blahhh had to mute the after fight interview

[armin]

I stayed home to watch the first one and postponed hanging with a friend , was a terrible decision on my part, hope tonights different.

You didn't miss anything by not seeing the first fight.

[Gandalf]

Dawson one up IMO. Hopkins didn't do anything much.
