    Hopkins found a way not to get knocked out, like the wily old veteran he is. His fights are never pretty, but the guy does what he feels he needs to do in order to get the win. Hopkins said before the fight that Dawson was younger and stronger, but not smarter. There may be something to that, because he managed to get under Dawson's skin on many occasions, and Dawson was unable to knock him out. It's probably fitting that B-Hop ends his career like that, seeing as to how he has faced so many top fighters and has never been KO'ed or seriously woozy. Like him or not, you gotta tip your hat to Hopkins, because 47 is a ridiculous age to be fighting at. I've never enjoyed his fights, because they tend to be full of clutching, mauling, wrestling..... and many times have ended in controversy. They're just not crowd-pleasing fights. But you have to give the old guy his just due. He's made it work for decades.

    On a side note... I was pleasantly surprised to see the "from below" shot of the two ring girls entering the ring after the 4th round (precisely when Hopkins opened the cut over Dawson's left eye). That was awesome. I don't mind seeing and hearing the corners between rounds, but a few more of those "from below" shots would sure be appreciated by us boxing fans.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that was most likely their best angle. I was TRULY impressed.

    Dawson won 8-4, B Hop just does not have the output at this level.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Yup or 9-3. He just doesn't punch enough. He had the same problem in the Calzaghe fight. Here, he's just a few years older.
