121 out of 136 fans and press had Dawson beating Hopkins

[THE THIRD MAN]

Once again Hopkins clinched his way through a fight, he is done now. He lost this fight by not doing enough, he wasn't assertive like he was against Tarver and Pavlik. Dawson won this fight comfortably in another snooze fest performance by Hopkins.

He was probably doing as much as he could against Dawson who was a very tough opponent. I don't ever recall Hopkins being hit with as many clean, hard shots and as much as Hop pretended they didn't hurt, you could tell from his body language, that they really got his attention.

I remember seeing Hopkins hit alot by Ornelas and thinking wtf? He was catching garbage hooks and gave up ground early but it was suprising. He did as much shuck & jive as he did in many fights when tagged and reset. Pascal hit him much cleaner and with more force I think.

Hulk you are crazy.

Hopkins' face actually looked worse after this fight than I've ever seen it look before (not that he looked terrible - he just usually looks like he hasn't even been in a fight). He had some real bruising and swelling on his right cheek.
