    I'm sorry, I've been cordial enough in this thread, you're a ****ing imbecile if you think that less than two rounds is a sound basis to assume that Dawson would've outclassed Hopkins for the rest of the fight. Just like you would be if you were to insist that Hopkins would've came back. You can't tell either way, it's ridiculous.

    I actually think that hopkins was faking, I wanted him to win and had a bet on him. I still think how it ended was ****ed up, the ref is probably more to blame than hopkins and primadona did make a good point, hopkins didn't look too upset about the decision whilst it was being made.

    You can't honestly say that from seeing a 2 round beatdown and with the loser of those rounds quitting that if he didn't quit he would win?

    look Steve, can I call you Steve? I'm going to anyway. My pick was never proved or disproved. Same as yours. Because the fight was cut short by a stupid foul, and neither man had shown ant real dominance. Those are facts.

    You'll notice I haven't said chad should be disqualified. He shouldn't. He missed out on a fight that could have redeemed him.

    If you think you saw the messiah in there tonight, good for you. Anyone else using their eyes saw a fairly uneventful fight where both men were still looking for an advantage.

    Come on Pk, I think dawson was doing fairly well and hopkins was pretty negative but you have to admit it wasn't a certainty by anymeans that he would win the fight. I do think you've made some good points in this thread but that's a little silly. If you paused the tape before the messy ending and asked me who i'd pick..i'd have gone with dawson but I by no means think it was a nailed on result.

    Tom.

    Dawson won.

    Hopkins lost.

    I predicted a Dawson win.

    You predicted a Hopkins win.

    Dawson dominated all night long and won the fight.

    My prediction was correct.

    Your prediction was wrong.

    What else is there to say? Your boy is a quitter and wanted no more of Dawson who had his number. Time for Hopkins to retire. You were wrong just admit it.

    Beatdown? Stop it. Seriously. As I said, it was generally accepted that Dawson would take the early rounds anyways, even amongst those who felt Hopkins would win, and that he did.


    Let's try to gain a sense of perspective here.

    I think Dawson would have probably got Hopkins out of there by the midrounds. Or a clear UD is also another strong probability.

    didn't hopkins lose a few early rounds to pascal too?
    Guzman you should enjoy rubbing your prediction in because I think you'll both be calling it even this time next week.

    You can't just make up how you think the fight would have gone if Hopkins didn't quit as truth. We saw nothing to suggest the pattern of the first 2 rounds would not continue.
