Before all the controversy what did you see going on in the fight strategically?

Dawson was definitely allowing Hopkins to fight his fight...and to me Dawson would have to win and control the early rounds to win because if Hopkins is allowed to conserve his energy in the early rounds and not fall behind for doing so...he will always finish strong in the 2end half of the fight and win.

I saw a young fighter hunting and stalking a hesitant and scared grandpa. I thought I was in for a long fight so I grabbed my pillow when all the sudden thankfully Dawson caught Bernard with a good throw and TKO'd him.

When did he look weak? After he blew up his shoulder.
And he's 46, he's not going to be "the same as before", whatever that means.
See, when you get older, your reflexes slow down a little but. Yu dont keep the same athleticism your entire life. I thought this was pretty elementary stuff.

Nothing much other than both boxers feeling other each. The 1st round could have went either way, the second round no significant punches were landed.

Hopkins fought exactly how I thought he was going to, extremely negatively. Clinching, headbutts, not trying to press any action. Dawson was doing a decent job of throwing all the activity without leaving himself open.
I had it 1-0 Dawson, with an extremely inactive 2nd round from Hopkins about to put Dawson up 2-0.
