    1. I know why he was angry my point was he couldnt contain himself, he let his emotions get the better of him. Chad is rattled - thats my take on it and his behaviour shows it.

    2. He didnt do anything to Hopkins, remember the first 4 rounds of the Hopkins vs Pascal? and you remember what happened for the remaining 8 rounds? Everyone is claiming those two rounds showed Chad something, it didnt! Hopkins despite his faking of low blows and being hurt is a 12 round fighter.

    3. Chad is not on the mental level of Hopkins he doesnt even have the intellect of Hopkins (Sr said he had to tell Chad to move his head over and over in training or Dirrell would knock it off and apparently he still didnt move his head LOL) so I think Hopkins will beat him easy. He has alot of advantages but Mental side he is inferior to Hopkins in every way.

    I could be wrong but Ive been right more times than wrong with Bernard....if anyone can do it at 46 its him.

    I dont think he's rattled to be honest. Dawson lost respect for him and his look was anger but more of disgust.

    Dawson was beating him to the punch, it was only 2 rounds but it showed alot and that was proved by Hopkins' 'dislocated' shoulder. There is no mental edge here between any of them and if there was I would lean towards Chad because Hopkins was criticised during their 1st fight not Dawson.

    At 46 Hopkins can beat alot of the fighters in the division, but bad chad is going to win this and avenge his loss to Pascal aswell!

    1. Thats ok we can agree to disagree.

    2. Fights are won over 12 rounds NOT 2 see JMM vs Pacquiao I, or Hopkins vs Pascal I or Floyd vs Hatton I could go on. Those two rounds were very close & Chad didnt seem to be landing all that much to me.

    3. Fights are more mental than anything and thats where I see the big advantage for Hopkins, that and what everyone is saying about him thats why I pick him.

    Im happy to put my vcash or avatar where my mouth is, should you want to bet on it? :hey

    No way in hell is Quitkins beating an A level talent at his natural weight. He quit the first time, and might be content to spoil and lose a wide UD this time.

    Quitkins can't fight a hard 12 rounds anymore. That's why he has to hold so much. To slow the pace.

    You are right he cant but he wont even need to if the same Chad turns up that fought Pascal and judging by his emotional outbursts since the fight I think a worse version will turn up!

    Chad Dawson - A Level Talent but D Level Brains :good

    Quitkins' ring IQ is overrated. His entire gameplan is to run in with his right hand and hold. Dirty tactics don't make you smart...They make you a dirty fighter.

    You're NOT ALONE!!! And I am not trippin, high on weed, came out of the nuts house or anything like that. Actually I can see things that cannot be easily understood visually or mentally in various domains from maths, physics to philosophy. Bernard is not a common man and this is not a love declaration for him... Nard must be pissed like hell for this trio of bad joke tellers in Scully-Shaw-Dawson and I am putting myself on the line here. The Nardster is holding everything up inside and when that bell rings and Dawson is all alone in there, the show will start and this is not the end but the beginning of what is going to be the boxing death of another promissing youngster to what we can understand as a future common individual to lace his gloves on to just earn small, I mean small paydays. ADIOS.

    Where did I say he was smart? He's just smarter than Dawson plus he cant be THAT dumb because no one else winning titles at 46 and sure as hell Dawson wont be ;) Hell yeah he is a dirty fighter I dont even think he would deny that but that doesnt change the fact your boy is gonna lose man accept it! Chad is a let down we all know it, Dont be mad, accept it! :lol:
