Bernard Hopkins fouled more than Dawson during the whole fight, he created the way out. What on earth was he doing on top! on top of Chad Dawson's back before he was shoved off..? Bernard Hopkin was a *****, the real ***** last night! and looked for a way out!!!!
Dawson didn't do anything. Hop landed a few arm punches on the inside. It was going nowhere, B-Hop in ugly mode and Dawson not showing any sign of showing anything different from his usual in the brief 'action' we actually got to see. It's amazing enough that a 46 year old man can take punches. I think it is entirely feasible that a 46 year old might feel a knock like the one he got last night though. Dawson only has himself to blame, especially when it gets changed to a no-contest and he rightfully loses the belt.
Not sure PK, Hopkins fought as he normally did. Had he been hurt or dominated then maybe he'd have cause to, but from what i could see, the fight was prob going to plan for BHOP.
Hopkins did look genuinely hurt, Its hard to tell how the fight would have panned out, It normally takes a few rounds before Hopkins works out his opponent and implements his own gameplan? Either way it would have been scrappy and boring.
How many times did he hold..? he was back to old spoiling ***** out ways. He had Chad Dawson in a head lock, he was leaning on him constantly. Going to plan for Bernard Hopkins. If thats the case, he will scream beg for a rematch, he was a ****ing *****.
Good point in the commentary by Jim ''If you have a reputation as an offensive fighter this kind of fight augers against you and you will be downgraded by scorers for not fighting the way your supposed to as an offensive fighter, if you have the reputation of a defensive genius,which Hopkins does, you can let the air out the bag, the fight can be lousy and dull and you benefit from that because judges take it to mean you're doing what you want to do''
Lets have a rematch if it was going so great for Hopkins. Chad Dawson will whoop his ass, Hopkins is not on Chad Dawson's level. Stylistically, a primed motivated Dawson beats any any! Version of Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins just cannot cope with that type of fighter!!! And he was a ***** last night, who created all of his problems!!!
Fight wasnt going great for BHOP, it was a horrible 2 rounds that no one deserved to be a winner of. I'd have liked to have seen how it panned out.
****ing listen to yourself, if your gonna talk bias ****. Shut the **** up, and log off line. Well if you want to see how it would of panned out! ****ing Hope Hopkins crys and moans for a rematch. Do you think that will happen..? He does not want no part of Chad Dawson! No part!! never has!!!
