    I don't know about others but I'll watch it. ...For free, of course.
    Good fight, really.

    I can't wait.

    Looking for Hopkins to get another excellent "W" on his impressive resume.

    Dawson was getting Frustrated and Flustered by Hopkins tactics after just 1 round! Hopkins is the Master at the mental side of things and will do a job on Dawson. He will end up countering the life out of him with lead rights and then holding. Dawson cant hold it together mentally! It will still be close but Hopkins takes it cleanly on the cards

    I'm happy this fight is being made. I think the longer the other fight would have went on, the more Dawson would have pressed the issue, he now knows he can't just take his time.

    Plus now, he has some bragging rights over Hopkins, to perhaps help him feel more comfortable. Also, he's gotta get those belts back.

    I'm a Dawson fan, but honestly, i think he wins by a close decision, the type that Hopkins and his fans will complain about for a very long time to come.

    This fight made the most sense for the time being. I picked Hopkins quite confidently in the first bout but im wary of the dudes age and physical state going into this fight. Dawson could very well have got The Executioner at the right time

    can't believe some of you guys are writing off bhop after the countless times he's proven the boxing world wrong. it's like this, until he's proven otherwise, chad's mentality during a fight is suspect, not to mention B-Hop is one of the most intelligent fighters today and yesterday, up there with marquez and mayweather for sure. bad combo for chad.

    Hopkins fought against guys with obvious weakness (Pavlik, Pasca, Tarverl). Boxers who showed little to no weaknesses (Calzaghe) well you know the results, Hopkins couldn't dominate. Dawson has little to weak no weakness, and is about as complete of a boxer as you can get, and Hopkins will have his hands full.

    I'm more interested in watching Dawson finish what he started with Pascal. The first fight was in LA and I didn't even drive an hour to watch it or order the PPV.

    It is a natural fight in this division. Once people were counting Old Man River out cause they did assume he was just in there to make some bucks under GBP against smaller men from MW and SMW or guys such as Andrade's young brother and an old and washed up RJJ specially after all the faking, acting and cryin with Calzaghe and Roy... Once Jean Pascal gave him a shot, everything turned upside down... Hopkins has a shot people thought and then he schooled Jean Pascal. So who's left, who's really left? With all due respect, Erdei? Noooo! Cloud? Not yet! Glen Johnson fought all these guys and lost so who was really left? Exactly, the guy who was said to have been chasing Old Man River and lost to the man who lost to Old Man River... Got it?!?

    Not exactly looking forward for this fight, but it is nice that they can settle it once more.

    I think Dawson will beat Hopkins easily this time, too much activity versus someone who picks his spot in offense.

    Im interested in watching this fight. We were left with many Q's in their first "Fight".. I hope it's on regular HBO.
