:lol1: I don't get it...where is all this animosity for a dam near 50 yr old man who is in there fighting kids young enough to be his sons coming from?!?:dunno:...the art of being smart is to know what to overlook....come on now and stop the hate....Hopkins loses and he gets more pie in his face than the winner gets praised LMAO
Popkin's lovers are out in full force...:115-113 is a joke.
Chad won bro get over it. Just because Popkins avoided him for many years doesnt mean he holds a fantasy win over chad during those years :lol1:
This is exactly why Hopkins never wanted to fight him and then faked that BS shoulder injury
ok keep tellin yourself that. im sure you had excuses and posts ready for both sides, written down on paper somewhere ready just in case. get over it? i was never under it. i said dawson won the fight. he didnt dominate him and he didnt look good at all. and hopkins is 47, and thats much more incredible than dawson beating him, and anyone in their right mind who thinks dawson could beat bhop in his prime is, well, I actually cant think of any words for that, cause there probly arent any, so get that salt off your shoulder. bhop is and always be a legend, and no one will EVER say dawson is a better fighter lol. get over it bro
I agree that in this case it would have greatly behooved him to bow out with grace, best thing he could have done to mitigate.Exactly. At least Dawson had grace, civility, and he had some great things to say about Hopkins despite all the headbutts and dirty tactics. He didn't stoop to Hopkins level and act like a bitch. Hopkins could have admitted that he lost and say he'll return better than ever or retire and say he's passing his torch to Dawson but once a sore loser, always a sore loser.
Not wanting to do a post fight interview...why just hope this isn't some wild justification to continue to fight ATG HOF but it's time to go now Holdkins you lost clearly
an ass whooping? you musta watched a different fight. i had the fight 115-113 for 29 year old dawson against 47 year old bernard. wow yea he really got an ass whoopin. chad isnt in bhops league 5 years ago, now all of a sudden he gave him an ass whoopin lmao. gotta love this site and the lack of boxing knowledge. even right in front of your eyes, and you still cant see how the fight turned out. incredible...

I rspect Hopkins for what he's done in his career, he's a HOF and ATG, one of the Top MW's of all-time. But he's a punk.
He was trying his dirty s**T all night long, must have headbutted Dawson like ten times. You don't win rounds by throw pitty patty punch or two, and than holding, while the other guy is ripping off shots on you.
I can see how Bernard thought the Clazaghe fight was close, because it was. But this wasn't, it wasn't even close. 118-110/117-111 Dawson easily. Too quick, too strong.
117-111 Dawson. Could easily see 118-110 Dawson.
Time for Chad Dawson to do work at 175. Fight the winner of Pascal-Cloud, hopefully it's Pascal so Dawson can avenge that loss. Than, there's guys like Erdei, Cleverly, Kessler, there as well. And not to mention guys at 168 who'd move up to 175 eventually like Andre Ward most notably.
