    I go to fights, and watch on TV anyway.... my GF of 10 years said this
    Fight sucked balls. She turn boxing fans(forced). Lol. But she seen alot of matches and i have to agree. What a boring ass title fight.


    I like getting a buzz and getting ready to watch a fight but thank **** mitchel won. Big **** was hurt early and came back. Exciting to watch really.


    Anyway. Boring ass main event. Hard to believe people paid for the first fight. :deal:deal

    Hopkins had better defense but lost 8 rounds easily.

    There's always the UFC or you could just stick to hanging out at Hooters instead. Personally I really appreciated the technical display from both men. The changing strategies and calculated exchanges kept me entertained throughout.

    T'was looking for comedic relief. Hopkins putting his head down towards the ref was the only thing I found

    entertaining.The man headbutts anything in his way.lol

    We all knew it would be boring. Both Dawson and Hopkins are valium material. We watched it because it could be Hopkins last fight.

    The fact that you could see again a defense master piece by Hopkins doesn't change the fact that it was indeed a boring fight.

    Dawson did what he could do to make a good fight. Hopkins as usual just held on and tackled, rammed with his head. Hopefully Ward actually fights Dawson, and does not just hold on.

    You don't know the half of it. I invite friends to watch these fights and damn near everytime, they leave disappointed. Last time I got my friends hyped was friggin Kirkland vs. Angulo. Maybe boxing really is that bad? :huh

    I will NOT let my friends watch Mayweather vs Cotto. Hopefully, I'm smarter than that now.

    It's Hopkins, what did you expect? Especially considering his opponent, Dawson, is prety gun shy himself.

    It was an all round fail of a fight really. Boring and full of fouls, the legendary old champ went out with a far from legendary performance, the new champ didn't do anything to leave a positive impression, just slightly more activity in enough rounds to take it.
