Due to the close nature of some rounds I feel anything from 9-3 Dawson to a 6-6 Draw are cards I can agree with. I have to disagree with anyone saying BHop won though. I think an MD for Dawson was a totally fair outcome.

BHop didnt get old tonight or anything though. Regardless of what people say about retirement, he can come again and regain a world title. I hear that Pascal/Cloud is set to be announced, you better believe he can beat the winner of that if he can land the match up.
That was not a close fight at all, Dawson was out punching him by about 6 to 1 easy it was nice to see a ref that pulled Hopkins up on his dirty fighting.Hopkins gets away with a lot of dirty tricks but thank god not this time.Dawson showed class in his interview something Hopkinsin will never have, mind you
can't polish a turd.
Hopkins is not easy to fight or hit, but under the circumstances, I thought Dawson did a great job of staying the aggressor, and being busier and more effective with his punches. It wasn't pretty, but it clearly won Dawson the fight. Hop simply was not effective enough and/or busy enough to win more than 3 or 4 rounds.
Fugly fight, but Dawson did what he needed to do to get the win, congrats to him.
