hopkins can only beat guys younger, faster, stronger when they are crude.... if they have no brains as a fighter hopkins can exploit them. but if they're smart and skilful how can he capatalise? hows he gonna draw dawson in to counter him? hows he gonna beat dawson to the punch? hows he gonna move dawson around and comand the centre of the ring? answer is: he isn't!!!!
At no point in that fight was pascal dominating. Hopkins was the better man and clearly won both fights, especially if you disregard some of the bull**** knockdowns of th first one.
As long as dawson doesnt come in mentally handicapped or something he shouldnt lose to hopkins. Hopkins is so damn old it would really be an embarassment. Dawson has all of the tools and all of the advantages to win this fight. If he loses he should retire in shame.
Anything can happen, but I'll go with Hopkins. Dawson does have speed but he seems to gas in the championship rounds as well. It doesn't look like Dawson fights to the best of his capabilities in there either. Sometimes, he seems lazy and uninterested. I don't know what his deal is. I believe Hopkins will exploit him and frustrate him and win via decision. Then again, Hopkins is like 47..I still can't believe it. Hopkins +120 it is.
