Props to Dawson

Combination headbutting does not = accidental.

 

There were like 8 so called accidental headbutts!

 

Props to Dawson. He made a fan out of me last night. He looked as good as you're really gonna get against Hopkins. I liked his footwork, his ability to avoid getting tied up and clinched, lure Hopkins in with feints then slip out the side or the back door and punch him for his efforts from time to time.

Some people were bored watching this fight but I enjoyed it. I liked what I saw from both fighters but I have to give it up to Dawson again, he won straight up, no need for any arguments over the decison which isn't always the case in a Hopkins loss.

 

I was actually more impressed with Hopkins and his amazing defense and hand speed for a 47 year old. I expected Dawson to win more convincingly given his great talents. I expected him to really put it on Hopkins and hurt him a few times and possibly take him out late. But of course, you have to give Dawson full credit.

 

Yup...great job by chad!!! B hop tried throwing him off with dirty **** but chad kept his composure

 

Hopkins has good fundamentals and an unusually disciplined lifestyle, that might why he can perform so well at his age. Boxing is about movement, and Hopkins knows how to move. Some of his moves are questionable, but what the hell, he is still moving. Compare him to the bums that get in the ring with Klitschko. They are static, unmotivated, and disciplined. They don't move like Hopkins or the great heavies of the past. They just stand there and get knocked out. If Hopkins just stood there in front of Dawson, he would get knocked out too.

 

Dawson is good and young, but really cant get excited about wanting to watch him in the future. It just looks like his fights are sparring sessions and its wash, rinse, repeat, round after rd. Its tough to get emotionaly involved in such scraps unless you have underlying reasons to watch em. Irs like watching paint dry. Chad is boring as **** content to win 7 out of 12 and go home.

 

The black Goofy is boring and ackward. No matter who he beats or what he does he will never ever be a real draw. Ever. Wont happen.

He is lanky, and has some reach advantages. He is fast, but not as fast as a Dirrell. He is techincally ok, but nothing special. He is unclever, which is fairly unusual for a counterboxer. In short he looks awkward, and he has no selling points in his game..
