    How do you guys see this one playing out? Not bad odds on Hopkins to win.

    I think Bad Chad beats him. Hopkins has to run out of gas sooner or later, and I fear it will be against that Bell End.

    Dawson takes a decision for me

    I think it'll be close. Dawson should win IMO but I'm sick of writing Hopkins off.

    Dawson by UD does seem to be the safe bet but like you i write Hopkins off too. He looked good against Pascal. I might have £50 on him.

    Either way im not watching it, The 1 round against Dawson last time out bored me to tears!!!

    I think Chad wins.

    No interest in watching really.

    :lol::lol:

    I don't what everyone else has suddenly seen in Dawson to make him such a favourite vs. Hopkins. He's still that mentally fragile, reluctant fighter who Hopkins should take apart relatively easily.

    The odds on Hopkins are insanely good. 3/1 for him on decision, you'd have thought they'd have learnt after the Pascal fights but evidently not. Ah well not that I'm bothered, hopefully I should be able to make a few quid on it. :happy

    Hopkins by decision, think his ringsmarts will see him through... just.

    He knows what judges look for, trys to steal the round often in the last 30secs and it works more often than not.

    Plus Dawson acted like an arse after the 1st fight. Granted it was heat of the moment but he shouldve just been humble and said "ok if he's injured, sorry for the fans but we'll reschedule it" and left it at that.

    Does it work more often than not?

    IMO it does in general (not just with Hopkins), especially if you look busier than your opponent in the last 30secs or so you can always catch the eye as its more fresh in the memory.

    It is a risky strategy and wouldnt recommend it, but it is effective for stealing a round.
