"Hops-Dawson 2." What will be different this time?

BHop UD 12

"Who was Dawson anyway? he lost to Jean Pascal atsch"

 

I don’t think there was enough to go by in the first fight to make people change their minds. They were just feel-out rounds between two very defence-conscious fighters.

I always regarded Chad as tricky matchup for the old man. Which is why I wished he would have just retired on top after beating Pascal. There was no need to come back and take a risk with this guy. :verysad

I’m sticking with my initial thoughts before the first fight – Chad by decision.

 

It will go more than 2 rounds

 

bhop wins it

 

Hopkins always puts forth his best performance when he's the underdog. Plus he's a slow starter so I don't think the 2 rounds that Dawson won in the first fight are too indicative of how this fight will go. It's a 50/50 fight IMO.

If I had to pick I would say Dawson by MD/SD/Close UD

 

Pretty funny how last time EVERYBODY predicted it would go the over and it ended it 2.

 

I believed Hopkins was going to beat Pascal, and he did twice. But he should have called and end right there

Dawson is a better skilled fighter than Pascal imo despite the loss, and with his height, athleticism, and workrate he can pose big problems for Hopkins. Im going for a Chad UD

 

First of all i believe Dawson to have a better skill set to Hopkins , thats current Hopkins , he's younger , stronger , sharper , and more hungry than Hopkins

Dawson has a mental problem , he won't fight , he'll sit behind a jab for 12 rounds , if / when Dawson realises that he isn't going anywhere unless he lets his hands go , then he'll be nothing more than a world champion at most , if / when he starts to fight , then he can go onto be a dominant world champion at 175 and 200 , the guy has it all , it all depends on how he uses his skills

I think Dawson is going to be much bigger and stronger than Hopkins and lay it on him for the majority of the 12 , intact i may just go all out and have Dawson on stoppage , accumulation around 10 / 11 , and if he beats Hopkins it may just be the catalyst to wake up the sleeping giant

Or he might sit behind a jab and potentially lose a scrappy fight having thrown 20 punches a round

 

The result...

 

Hopefully Hopkins won't dog it this time. Dawson in a dull, dull UD.
:smoke:smoke:smoke

 

Dawson UD in an ugly ugly fight.

Here's an interesting article for BHop fans. (Check some of the quotes he really needs to get rid of that chip onhis shoulder!)
