Hopkins is an ugly, ugly fighter. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. He is edging this, but not looking particularly good. He would get whipped by someone like Dawson on this showing so far.

Just not sure.Think for what Ornelas lacks in skill and speed,he makes up for in grit and durability that Dawson does not seem to show all the time.Think Hopkins could cause Dawson bad problems in close,in the trenches.

[Kirkland Laing]

They could at least show the full round before they go to adverts.
