The first 2 rounds looked like Trinidad/Hopkins, look how frustrated Dawson was getting, your just nothing but a hater, you don't like Hopkins, as with everyone else. After Hopkins gets his title back when they overturn the victory cause I know that's what's gonna happen, Hopkins should fight him again, and finish what he started. Dawson is full of **** and so his fans.
Ah man, your another ****ing hater of Bernard Hopkins, you know yourself what Dawson did was ****ed up headbanger. You know it man.
Someone smart will hopefully make a movie about BHOP's life story. Perhaps they'll have Bernard play himself.
So you don't recognize the pattern? This thread isn't about Dawson; he's just one notch on Hopkins' belt. Bernard has a history of this stuff, which is strange considering that it rarely happens to anyone else. You can find reaction shots of his opponents, and they always have the same look of disbelief on their faces.
All three judges gave Dawson the 1st round (including Howard Letterman) in which he clearly won. The second round neither boxer landed anything significantly, but there was a lot of clinching by Hopkins.
Hopkins arguably didn't lose a round to Trinidad (maybe the first), while he clearly lost the first to Dawson (attempting only 13 punches total) and was on his way to losing the second. **** this rematch. I'd rather see Dawson/Pascal II. Let Hopkins go up to cruiser and fight James Toney or something. He needs to excuse himself to the senior circuit or else just retire.
Hopkins is a rough fighter, and I have no problem admitting that. But he never complains when fighters get dirty with him, he fights on and fought that whole fight against Roy Jones with blurred vision. He didn't quit and he didn't quit against Pascal either when he got knocked down twice. Quit exaggerating things because your trying to make Hopkins look like he has no heart, which is nothing but ****in myth.
Did anyone notice the dude in the background???:rofl I think I need to start a thread and get everybody's opinion as to what he's saying!! " look at this ugly ass mofo, n!gga, you aint hurt...Get ya ugly ass up and fight!:verysad"
Dawson only landed one punch against Hopkins in the first, Hopkins landed more total punches and he was winning that second round too, and he even was robbed from a knockdown in the second when Dawson's glove touch the canvas but he didn't make any issue about. Like I said your a Hopkins hater, plain and simple.
I strongly disagree. That's the whole point. He's one of the dirtiest fighters in the world and has been for a long time (and in many respects I admire his ability to get away with it), but these days any time someone fires back at him he pussies out. Calzaghe, Jones, and now Dawson. The injury he did or did not suffer against Dawson was caused by a Hopkins foul, after he already jumped on Dawson and pushed him down once and once already jumped in with his head. The moment Dawson responded in kind, Hopkins chose to ***** his way out of the fight. Most fans saw it that way and so obviously did the referee.
You are out of touch with reality. Neither man was effective in the first round, but Dawson landed the cleanest punch of the round and was much more aggressive and active. Hopkins attempted 13 punches and was 100% negative. The judges all scored it against him, too. That "knockdown" was due to a Hopkins grab and push, precipitating Dawson's aggressive response the next time Hopkins did that ****. He fouled himself into an injury, got embarrassed and ultimately was a victim of karma.
Your going but compubox and none of that is ever accurated and I know what I saw. He land more total punches than Dawson in that first round, Dawson landed one flush punch and hopkins caught him with a right to the body in that sequence, your acting like Dawson was dominating Hopkins the way your talking. Hopkins was the better ring general and it would of stayed that way had the fight continued, and the reason why is Dawson doesn't know how to adjust when things aren't going his way, if anything he's nothing but a quitter. And his cheerleader winky is also delusional if he really believes Dawson would dominate or dominate if they fought again. He's just mad because Bernard got in his ass.
