    Ahh, so you aren't perfect. I also thought DLH over Pacman and Cotto over Marg. My logical mind said Dawson outpoints Dawson but my heart said Tarver catches Dawson with something and takes him out.

    As for the Hopkins/Dawson fight, i just think he's too dynamic phsyically for Hopkins. Hopkins does not like to get hit flush and when someone poses an actual threat of landing something, he gets defensive. Calzaghe, Taylor, etc. Pavlik, Tito, and Tarver didn't possess that threat because all of them had slower hand speed and predictable attacks and Hopkins could see them coming. But Dawson has blazing hand speed and presents that element of getting off first. And i think Dawson does enough to outwork Hopkins sort of like Hopkins/Taylor.

    Collazo beat Berto tonight, Harold Lederman's card was good. I thought Collazo won by even more than Lederman's card.

    If Hopkins is on his defensive game, I don't think Dawson lands many punches on BHOP at all. He has fast hands but when there is no clear target, where will he punch?

    The fact that Dawson also leaves himself open too much spells trouble for the young man.

    Style wise, I just think BHOP has him, but hey, you could be right.

    There is only one way to find out. :yep
