Hopkins is very good at making you pay for being out of balance, even his defense which Bradley emulates evolves a lot of upper body movement with his feet also moving a lot. We will see how much trouble this causes for Pacquiao which I could see being a lot, but back to this fight Dawson is in complete balance most of the time, and unlike the Pascal fight he wasn't allowing Hopkins to just rush in without paying the price. I thought Hopkins looked pretty sharp, and still very quick, but Dawson would have beaten him or given any version of Hopkin fits for the same reason Roy did. He's got another level of speed, and he's still a brilliant boxer with more range to his style, and the speed to counter Hopkin's reckless counter attacks. Usually Hopkins picks such good moments to rush back in after having his opponent follow that they can't react, but this was the second time in his career that the person was fast and skilled enough to avoid and counter this game plan.

I give Dawson a lot of credit, now he has to stop having those lapses...
May I ask why you are always so vindictive? I swear you must have 3,000 posts that start with "I told everyone" Who cares?
