    Did anybody get impressed by how calm, confident and composed Dawson looked?

    I honestly dont know.. Hopkins is a slow starter and chad looked sharp! So either chad by wide UD or perhaps hopkins would of came back and won a close UD!

    nard took the first out, he was glad to get out of there, he didn't like what he felt in there. i'm a huge hopkins fan and predicted him for this fight but he was on his way to a loss and he knew it.

    There was really nothing that went on in those two rounds that would make me favor either of the two guys.

    Dawson wouldve KO'd Hopkins.

    Hopkins felt Dawson's power during those few exchanges and you could see Hopkins would jump out from the exchanges cause he was momentarily stunned.

    when Hops went down, he used that as the excuse to quit fighting or risk being Ko'd by Dawson.

    when Hops fought Pascal, Hops was "juiced up" with EPO, but then again, Pascal is a known Anabolic Steroid user.

    for this fight, Im not sure if Hops was on EPO, but Hops couldnt deal with Dawson' powershots and "bailed-out" with the supposedly "foul".

    many of Dawson's punches didnt land, but the one that did, in each of those short exchanges, shook up Hopkins.

    Hops should just retire.

    This is how I think (and thought beforehand) the fight would play out

    Rounds
    1
    2
    3
    4

    Close, contested rounds, that would see Dawson getting the slight edge with his speed and length, hopkins being hopkins but putting in work as well.

    5
    6
    7

    Hopkins starts to catch dawson more, timing him a bit better, spoiling, and winning rounds probably the most clear of the fight so far, showing glimpses of how the fight would look if he wasnt 46 years old.

    8
    9
    10

    Hopkins tires a bit, Dawsons speed starts to take over, and he is able to start controlling the distance and pace a bit again.... Hopkins starts to wear down a little and starts to get tagged a bit more and more. His clinches and lunges have become innefective due to Dawsons own strength and Hopkins beginning to tire.

    11
    12

    Dawson wins the last two rounds, the most clear rounds of the fight, and closes the fight and wins 8 rounds to 4


    just imo

    i have it 7-5 dawson but it is hard to tell


    i think dawson takes all of the early rounds but goes way to aggressive and gets tired and then that combined with BHOPS experience/ring IQ etc BHOP schools him for the last 5.

    I do also think that BHOP would win a rematch like 8-4 IF they fought 12 rounds this time.

    If they rematch after the 2 rounds last (don't think it will happen) night i think it could be 7-5 either way of 6-6 :bbb

    just my opinion
