    He's basically focused and tryin to turn our focus into how Bernard's counter str8 rights were uneffective and since he believes that B'Nard has only developed that same old feint and that counter punch which doesn't work anymore cause it is supposed to be slow and Dawson is well aware of it, the guy is sayin in other words that Dawson was controlling the fight. He could have done it the other way around, exception made for one left that got in, Chad was hitting thin air with his range finder jab as Hopkins was constantly moving out of position so he could never corner or press Hopkins to the ropes to unleash a left following that right jab. I believe that had the fight gone on then most probably Dawson would slow the pace down and try to make B'Nard fight him in the center of the ring or try a lil c'mon to make Nard fall himself into a trap... I am not proving anything here as most Dawson's supporters and Hopkins' haters r looking for Hops to gas out and Dawson to fall merciless on him... But I have to say that this predictions that have Chad dominating this old man and stopping him by the 9th round are completely built on nothing really...

    This guy keeps mentioning how Dawson isn't affected by the feints, but every time he rewinds, I see Dawson moving either his feet or his hands, or looking to counter, on all of those feints. It's the first 2 freakin rounds; you can't take a lot from them, especially with these fighters.

    I agree. Somebody needs to make a video to rebut everything he's saying because he has a lot of people believing what he's saying. I'm not even sure if he's actually watched Hopkins fights going all the way back to Trinidad.

    Is this what you mean by Bernard Hopkins being crafty..?? you ****ing idiot.


    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8x17qxhdLo[/ame]


    Bernard Hopkins has never been no KO artist, you bullshitter.

    Bernard Hopkins has had respectable power..? but he was never EVER a KO artist.

    And he's getting stopped up against Chad Dawson mate..? Dawson beats any version of Bernard Hopkins. Thats not because Chad Dawson is all that great..? Its because Bernard Hopkins has never ever really been a GREAT fighter in my opinion.

    Bernard Hopkins gets credit for losing fights and looking mediocre."No other fighter gets this kind of credit"

    Bernard Hopkins has been a great opportunist, his middleweight reign is one of the most overrated in history. A big deal is made of his 20/21 defences, when also Chris Eubank had 20/21 successful championship fights over middleweight/super-middleweight....."Before a defeat".

    Bernard Hopkins 2 best wins where against a fat Oscar De La Hoya, and a one dimensional welterweight called Felix Trinidad, and he also fought Robert Allen about 15 times.

    Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, James Toney, all fought and beat better middle weights.

    "Bernard Hopkins cannot cope with athletically gifted fighters who have above average ring IQ, its why he got beat twice by Jermaine Taylor..? WHERE WAS THAT KO POWER TO SAVE HIM..? :lol: you ****ing idiot.

    Its why he got beat by Joe Calzaghe..? who did'nt even take Hopkins serious.

    Its why he got beat by Roy Jones, and even a shot Roy Jones was able to reduce Bernard Hopkins to being a complete *****..? acting, wasting time, because even a SHOT Roy Jones was giving him problems.

    "Bernard Hopkins could not even fight a honest fight against a shot Roy Jones"

    I have got news for you..? Bernard Hopkins is no gangster, he is a smart intelligent man, who knows his limits, he knows when to bull**** inside of a ring, and he is a *****.

    He has been a GOOD champion, but GREAT champions legends..? Don't do what he does inside of the ring.

    I'm picking Hopkins, I'm not certain but that's the way I'm leaning.

    Biggest factor here is that they've fought those two rounds already. Hopkins will of learnt so much in those two rounds, more than Dawson can hope to of picked up aboout Bernard. Hopkins will know what was working and what wasn't, and he'll adjust and adapt to that. Things that were working for Dawson, may not work next time; now that Hopkins has seen in and had ample time to prepare for it.

    The right hand lead was working, and Hopkins will look to land that and spoil. Expect a de-motivated Chad this time. Hopkins has altered his pre fight approach. He psyched Dawson up last time, this time he's being nice. Not looking to light a fire in Dawson, who can get lazy and unintrested in his fights. If he does that with Hopkins he loses.

    Bernard Hopkins throw himself on Chad Dawson's back, Dawson DID shunt him off. And i would of done exactly the same thing, to make a statement..? I am not your *****.

    Hopkins antagonised the situation, and knew what he was doing to get out of the fight. But Hopkins acting this time as back fired on him, because everybody can see through his actions in the first Dawson fight..? Even his supporters may be saying one thing..? But deep down they know the truth..? They know that Bernard Hopkins is a play actor, he's a complete history in playing the foul game and acting to buy himself time or change the course of the fight/disrupt.

    "Hopkins is so quiet leading up to this rematch..? because he knows he's up against it, he knows he cannot look for a way out of the fight anymore..? But i would no be surprised or shocked if he trys something similar again".......

    Hopkins is no gangster, and he is afraid of Chad Dawson. He is distressed, because Dawson can see straight through him.

    Whats the shite..? Bernard Hopkins is not going to win this fight..? And he didn't win the last fight.

    There are many people out there, weather they are fans or people within boxing. Who know Bernard Hopkins has a history in acting, and trying to influence a fight through his dirty foul acting, and being *****.

    I see through it, Chad Dawson see's through it, YOU don't see through it because your a ******ed ****witt.

    Deep deep down, you know the truth.

    Hopkins beats Pascal. Everyone decides 'Hopkins is scared of Dawson' Hopkins signs to fight Dawson, everyone shuts up.

    Hopkins fights Dawson, and is diagnosed with a legit injury be a legit doctor. You pipe up again 'Hopkins is scared of Dawson.' Hopkins doesn't have to re-match Dawson. He had options of moving up to CW etc, but he's signed a rematch and he'll be there. No obviously he's scared :lol: 'Chad Daawson can see through him' Yeah Chad's the real gangster :lol: Standing in the ring after the fight with his cute little hat on 'IMMA GANGSTER' :rofl Yeah, sure you are kid.

    I think good sir, that you; are the ****wit.

    Bernard Hopkins is just another old boring fighter, without a belt..? If he gives up the belt. That belt is the only thing, making his fights just about sell..?

    "Bernard Hopkins the 46/47 year old Champion"

    If he didn't face Dawson..? he would of lost his WBC belt. And Bernard Hopkins does not want that, and cannot afford such a loss at this stage in his career.

    Why didn't he face Chad Dawson 3-4-5 years ago..? Because he didn't have to, and he didn't want to.

    Bernard Hopkins has never EVER wanted to face Chad Dawson.

    Chad Dawson stepped aside so..? Bernard Hopkins could face Jean Pascal..? and Chad Dawson was always going to face the winner..? Bernard Hopkins even tried to get out of the last fight..? And also the rematch, but the WBC were not going to allow it and ordered the fight.

    There the facts.

    You sound so smart..? Who do you think is going to win..? Bernard Hopkins..?

    :lol:

    Shut the **** up you idiot ****witt.

    And just for the record..? No MRI scan was EVER sent to Dawson's camp..? just a sicknote for Bernard Poppins. There has never been no solid concrete evidence of a injury.

    Bernard Hopkins was telling Chad Dawson at the weigh in that he is a gangster..? that is why i am using this term.

    He's no gangster...
