    The closer it get's to fight time, I get this bad feeling for B-Hop.
    (Have a feeling Chad is going to toy w/Hopkins all night long)

    I'd like the "Old man" to win, But it ain't gonna happen.

    Dawson by close sd. Basically I'm as close to sitting on the fence on this one as possible. I'd have no hesitation of saying the Hopkins of a few years back wins but he's slowed a bit since Pavlik.

    Be honest how surprised would you be if Hopkins get's Knocked out/TKO'd???
    I wouldn't...

    Ever since the Pascal fight's, Hop's chin has shown some wear.
    (Vulnerable, Granted Chad don't have Pascal type power but still..)

    Got Dawson to win by decision. But, rooting for BHOP.

    I can't pick Bad Chad, can't help but see Hopkins pull it off in ugly fashion.

    Polish members, he still believes Nard is going to find a way out and must be prayin Jezu ufam tobie but I also pray and no matter who we trust in, it's incredible how this guy sticks to the same idea. Obsessive to say the least or else I will call him a foreteller!

    That's bs, hatesrats, you wouldn't like "Old man" to win. Let me call your bluff by sayin that your feelings are absolutely yours and have nothing to do with the outcome or r u a fortune foreteller 2?

    Hopkins has the know how to win it, just a matter if he's got enough left in the tank to make it happen.

    Hopkins got a lot of mileage and wear and tear. It all catches up to him tonight. Dawson by TKO

    Hopkins looked awful vs Pascal til Pascal shut down

    after that fight i said Hopkins was ripe to lose and was gonna lose Dawson 1, by the circumstances we never saw a good end

    Hopkins is off a lay off, is older, slower, and etc

    Dawson is prime, angry, motivated, determined and already has been in the ring with hopkins enough to remove those sorts of nerves

    ppl on here say Dawson is out psyched and mentally shows weakness

    I dont think so if anything Dawson pushing Hopkins out of clinches shows he is not a Pascal or anyother fighter who allowed themselves to be bullied or man handled

    Dawson isnt taking Hopkins **** and unlike Pascal will not gas or tire and has a much higher work rate

    Dawson work rate will put Hopkins in trouble much like Taylor and Joes work rate gave him trouble

    Unless Dawson turns in as bad of a performance as he did vs Pascal he is gonna win

    Thats terrible analysis, although I'm not saying the prediction is wrong. Neither man really landed anything, and Hopkins had always been a slow starter, this dude doesn't even mention that, terrible. :bart
