Dawson on points..... absolutely insane.
Hopkins is going to dominate him.

That's a bit of an overreaction mate.

Yeah you're right, I just don't think Dawson is very good.
He's easily confused and has a low workrate..... not exactly what you want when you're facing the old master.

I fancy Hopkins as well - although not in a sexual way!
However, sometimes old fighters just come apart overnight and at some point this might happen to Hopkins.

Getting up to watch Hopkins or Dawson would be brave, getting up to watch both of them is destined for disappointment IMO. I'll be Sky +ing it and watching it with a bacon and egg sarnie

This could be a very very close fight and i have gone for a split decision win for Hopkins..........
I always believe that Hopkins can outsmart other fighters, but my only reservation is whether he has the stamina. There could be a big chance that Hopkins will fade in the later half of the fight and that Dawson could win through work rate if he also manages to land on a consistent basis, which is where Hopkins normally has the edge. I can't see Hopkins getting as bad as Roy Jones in terms of flagging work rate and punches, but Chad i think is a different propersition to either Pavlik or Pascal. I'm wanting Hopkins to win, so for me it's a split decision by one or two rounds in the old mans favour.

Hopkins UD.
The undercard fights will be better than the main event though.

Is this one a Golden Boy Promotion? By which I mean is Hopkins technically the 'home' fighter?

The great undercard made up for the diarrhea that was the main event.

Bloody hell! I recorded the Hopkins-Dawson fight, fast forward it to the 'fight', then the show finishes halfway through the first round! Just as well because it lasted another round when B-Hop was chucked to the ground and injured his shoulder! How crap!!

Disgrace. At the very best it should have been an NC.
