    This fight is right around the corner and it's a week before the Mayweather/Cotto fight. Does anybody know how either of them have been training or how they look in training at the moment leading up to the fight?

    Is there any training clips at the moment of Hopkins or Dawson? I'm interested in seeing how both look for the rematch.

    Good question. I haven't heard or seen anything myself, but I'll see if I can find something.

    Another question I'd appreciate some help with: Is IceMan Scully training him?

    This is the most non-exposure i've ever seen of a upcoming Hopkins fight and this fight is an important one in the lightheavyweight division. Plus there's bad blood between the 2. Are there any major media covering this fight because it doesn't seem that way.

    Saw some pictures of Dawson sparring with Yordanis Despaigne and that's about it.

    It's real hard to find a sparring partner to emulate Hopkins. Hopkins can probably find 5 southpaws with speed to emulate Dawson though.

    We'll probably get something out of Hopkins camp by the end of this week. I can usually guage how Hopkins is gonna perform during his media workouts by watching him shadow box. I knew he would be faster in the Joe Calzaghe fight based on the media workout I seen leading up to the fight.

    I continue to see Chad working on hard punching in close with the pads and Scully giving a lot of advises concerning adjustements on feet position and working the heavy bag:

    And Bernard working hard to deliever fast combinations and higher volume of punches on each combination ( as much as 10 punches per combination) thrown and always on the move:

    This is from their first fight but logic tells me that it will most likely be the same. If any makes any adjustments in their training it will most likely be Hopkins because of his high boxing IQ and having a more experienced corner in Nazim Richardson and Danny Davis. But from watching this clip right here Bernard still looks fast for his age. Don't see any big signs of him showing his age at all.

    I found something! The user who uploaded this clip says that this footage is about two months old, making it part of the lead up to the Dawson rematch this Saturday.
