Rewatching Hopkins/Dawson I is pretty telling. I know it was just a few minutes which ought not to be too telling, especially with Hopkins who adjusts on the fly but... It's one thing to look a little confused and pensive against a quick handed southpaw early... But its quite another to be getting bullied up close (Dawson was whacking his forearm into Hop's face to push him off) and then walking him back to the ropes. It looks difficult for Hopkins to mess him about and thats crucial to keeping the fight at a sustainable pace and also disrupting an opponent.
Chazz made him look a complete mug that round. Seth's technical limitations coming into the game at this stage glaringly obvious. Interesting to see if he can turn that around.
