    Hopkins by 2 to 3 rounds. Looking forward to it and with the look of the undercard its going to be a long night of UD's

    B-Hop will nullify Dawsons already low output, and rough him up and pick his shots all night. Wide UD, Dawson is crap.

    Holt KO

    Linares decision

    You seem high on Holt Flea, I like him but he as consistent as my ****. Don't rate Garcia either though.

    Hopkins pts
    Holt KO.

    Anyone think 13/8 is good value for Hops on points?

    Hopkins should get the decision, he'll punish Chad for those lapses he has.

    And I don't see the deal with Garcia, seen him on a few undercards he never really stood out. If Holt is on form he should win.

    I think Chad will get a UD TBH.

    Want Hopkins to win, but have always felt Chad had his number.

    Looking forward to seeing Collazo good fighter to watch.
    Used to like Paulie but not so much any more hard fighter to watch for me now.

    I've switched my prediction to Dawson on points. I beleive we are going to see a Dawson with high output and a jab that prevents bhop from slowing the rythm and pace pf the fight to his liking.

    I hope bhop pulls off the win but think Dawson will outpoint him tonight, watched his wins against tarver, adamek and Glen Johnson and just think he's got better stamina and a good work rate when he chooses to push down on the pedal. Round 11 against pascal does show what he can do late on, unleashing 15 punch combo and dazing pascal.

    I've made a lot of noise about this, but Hopkins UD. Dawson will have moments over the first half, but will get discouraged when he always gets tagged in return.

    Holt on points. He'll hurt Garcia and then float along for the rest of the fight.

    See, this sort of thinking is dangerous. You expect Chad to become a different fighter against the best opponent he's faced? Based on what?

    Dawson fights in spurts and he always has.

    I don't think Dawson has that work rate in him he takes a lot of time off in rounds. Can't see him keeping a jab up consistently enough either. Think he will take some rounds but he is a good boxer but doesn't have the things that give Hopkins trouble these days.

    High on his power and certain flourishes, but well aware of his shortcomings (pointed 'em out in my 140lb thread earlier today) and don't rate Garcia much (only seen him two or three times admittedly) but the kids a featherfist.
