Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson II - Saturday night fight thread

[Gandalf]

Hopkins tried a bit there, but then the old let's jump on the floor strategy. Hopkins is done.

Ugly, dirty fight. Dawson wins 9-3 for me. Dawson was a little lazy though and Hopkins outright awful to watch. Hopefully no Texas style shenanigans.

Dawson will probably win it 7 to 5, but I can almost guarantee one judge is going to have it even.

How did I know one judge was gonna have it even

One judge had it even? WTF?

Pretty easily really.

Hopkins had 4 clear rounds. If a judge gives him the first 2 rounds which were close then it would be even.

I called it that one judge would have it even and the other two would have it 7-5 for Dawson.

Got the even one right

The way Dawson struggles some what and fades late against Hopkins and his tactics does he REALLY wanna fight Andre Ward? Especially having to move down at 168 and lose weight. Not to mention Ward has a jab that pretty much matches his.

He is bigger and has a nice reach advantage. I think Dawson would acquit himself well against Ward.
