Brotha Primadonna, I suggest you to write an email in proper english and directly to the WBC before the mid of next wek or else this fight is coming down and baby, there are more than the chances you give that your man is gonna be outpointed and lose. So you don't have to speak to me or to Canibus, we can't support your case basically cause we don't give a **** if Canibus allows me to talk this for him, poor old fella has been so harrassed lately by ya and we will continue to be until that day, but then prepare to do a lot of kneeling and shinning shoes cause otherwise, please leave and comeback under another name and supporting Hopkins...

so if you were hopkins and were blatantly fouled and injured(sprain or whatever) you would have continued fighting dawson with this disadvantage?

thats pretty stupid.

why dont you let someone pick you up and throw you to the ground on your back and see how it feels.

you could make a case that dawson should have been disqualified just the same as a case that hopkins knocked down dawson in the second round on an overhand right followed by a short right.

 

Well, I have been playing with my fellow members Canibus and Primadonna Kool who r on different sides of the fence but in the good sense, no offense, no hard feelings, just the feeling of antecipation for a fight that even canibus started a thread requesting news of both training camps ( unfortunatelly I cannot give that info as yeteither). Anyway, Quincy, nice of you to come by and I have to say that I agree with you. Hopkins once got seriously hurt against Robert Allen and that was declared a no contest, an affair which involved ex-ref Mills Lane, then he got slammed by one powerhouse that I believe is still around at SMW Antwon Echols and two points were deducted and Nard fought with one harm until he could put together punches again with both arms to stop Echols, he also stopped Allen in the rematch. Happens that Hopkins is getting old by the minute and we the fans do acknowledge that and there is no doubt in my mind, even playin here and there with Primadonna and his MRI questioning, that Hopkins got hurt. One yt member predicted something and said that at some moment Nard could lift his shoulder a bit and that indicated that it wasn't such a serious injury... My answer to all this disqualifying stuff from shoving, slamming, short punching here and there when a man is down ( a la A Abraham against Dirrell) is needless. The WBC comission did well and demanded a rematch where all doubts will be taken or clarified. I think a disqualification on a former titlist and in those circumstances could be understood as profoundly biased and the same if Chad had retained the belt with a TKO result. Nothing else to add, t y.

 

i saw both the allen and echols fights. but unlike dawson, hopkins was considerably better than both those fighters and b-hop was obviously younger and in his prime.

i have no problem with b-hop electing not to continue the fight after the blatant foul and the fight could have been ruled a disqualification against dawson which would have presented me a losing ticket as i had dawson at -140.

i think dawson is very overpriced at -300 for this fight. i dont think that the shoulder will be a problem otherwise hopkins would not have taken the fight. i also do not think that bhop is going to get old overnight as he looked well conditioned against pascal...in both fights. also, there may be a false sense of security with chad believing what everyone is saying...that he was dominating the two round fight and that hopkins wanted a way out.

this couldnt be farther from the truth.

round one was a feeling out round that neither fighter dominated. round two was clearly won by hopkins and one could make a case that b-hop knocked down dawson with that straight right followed by a short right which led dawsons glove to touch the canvas.

finally, hopkins is very comfortable in boardwalk hall, new jersey, where he won as a big underdog against both tarver and pavlik...in dominating fashion. this will be his biggest win ever and i believe he wants this fight more than any previous others.

this is going to be a 12-round fight(those predicting a dawson beatdown are in all likelihood in for a rude awakening) and the judges and referee will be crucial in the outcome of this fight.

i wouldnt be suprised to see a 12-round hopkins UD.

actually, thats what im leaning right now.

 

but give credit where credit is due. dawson weathered the storm when he was clearly on ***** street.

i dont think hops punches any harder than johnson. the main difference is that he connects far more often with far more accuracy.

 

No way ,Hopkins was hurt wasn't he :think

 

Very quiet build up to this fight, i have been looking for interviews..? but i have found none.

Strange feeling to this fight, i have a feeling it will not be a straight forward fight. I would not be surprised if Bernard Hopkins pulls out, or for some reason the fight is called off.

Due to a outside disturbance......

 

I wonder what will be said in the last press conference..? I have a feeling that nothing will be said by the fighters.

"That would be funny"
