FINAL and OFFICIAL POLL: Bernard Hopkins vs Chad Dawson! Oct. 16th

Wouldn't have thought that.

 

Sticking with Chad.

In spite of everything.

Maybe this will be the fight he truly becomes "Bad Chad". It would be great if he used every dirty tactic in the book to beat Hopkins.

 

I think Dawson learned a bit from the last Pascal fight and comes out a little more active in this one. He wins a couple of rounds early and edges B-hop in a close decision.

 

I think Bhop got into his head, made it seem he wasn't fighting Chad but Steward, Hence Chad dropped Steward. Good start for Bhop :good

 

Dawson UD.

He just didn't show up against Pascal but we saw what he did when he pushed the gas. Pascal was simply overwhelmed and was badly hurt and pretty much ready to go in the 11th.

There is a reason why Hopkins avoided Dawson for 2 years. He knows Dawson poses problems. Dawson is not going to jump in all wild like Pascal and present counter opportunities. Dawson is going to fight a disciplined fight behind his jab. And let's not forget, Hopkins is 46 freaken years old.

 

I think Dawson will win it on PTS, he under performed against Pascal and styles make fights etc...

 

Also wanted to add that a draw is also a very high possibility. I bet $1 on the first Pascal/Hopkins fight for a draw and won $17.

 

Hopkins is much smarter, he will make this close again, im going with hopkins close decision win.

 

You should bet on betfair for draws, the first fight the draw was 42

 

Chad Dawson by TKO or dominating UD.

 

It's a possibility, Dawson is much more skilled compared to Pavlik, Pascal, and Roy Jones. I don't think Hopkins can beat Dawson just because he "figured him out", even if he does there is nothing he can do about it. Hopkins is not an all around great boxer anymore as fans make him out to be, he does have his weakness which he showed against Taylor, Wright, and Calzaghe.

He has a low work-rate, he's slower. His footwork isn't great as fans claim it is, and he constantly resorts to dirty tactics which makes him look like a B-level boxer. I'm not saying Hopkins is a B-level boxer, but he does look like it sometimes.

 

i think dawson mentally unstable which will ruin him against hopkins i think hopkins is just going to put the pressure on him and win a ud
