Hopkins v.s. Dawson II is scheduled on 28 Apr. 2012 at Atlantic City. Who do you think will win the rematch?
Hopkins has looked slower in recent fights. If you compare his hand speed against Dawson and Pascal to his fight against Tarver you can see a clear decline. I think Dawson will win a close but clear decision, he will just be to quick for this version of Hopkins.
I sway between Dawson UD or KO. I voted KO. Probably late, Hopkins gets worn down and visibly tired, and Dawson ends his career with a highlight reel stoppage of sorts. Wow, that kind of sounds trollish in tone, but I am dead serious. Dawson will regain P4P elite.
the only way Hopkins will retire is to be made to... Dawson will be all over him this time...years ago it would be inconceivable to predict Hopkins to lose by KO...but he is 47 and fighting a young solid big light heavyweight... he looked like a middleweight in the first fight.... i can see a TKO refs stoppage...enough for Hopkins to complain and be able to save some face by saying he wasnt hurt and could have continued
