Experience, youth. If could do a brief analysis of the fight, I would appreciate it. I will read all posts.
So who would you put your money on punky boys?
And why?
Thoughts?
Dawson.
Youth advantage, is fresher, handspeed advantage, is more talented, taller, bigger, has the reach advantage.
And most importantly, Chad is a southpaw. The last time Hopkins lost, was to a southpaw in a close fight.
Hopkins has the experience advantage, he's tougher, has more confidence due to not having lost in 3 years, and some may argue he hasn't really lost since 1993, but I disagree. Chad is not 100% happy with his win over Diaconu, and I think he feels very uncomfortable with himself for his loss to Pascal, and Hopkins beat him twice. While Hopkins is def happy with his wins over Pascal.
All in all, Dawson has all of the tools to win by landslide. but Hopkins being the veteran and Dawson I believe is not 100% focused yet, I could see Hopkins winning. But I will go with Dawson if I was betting money.
