He's such a sore loser. B-Hop never seems to think he lost a fight. He got dominated last night. Give your opponent props and move on. You win some you lose some. Bernard should be better than that.
So what? Show me a "good loser" and i'll show you...a loser.

A loser is still a loser, but at least you can be humble about it.
Dominated? Dawson didn't land cleanly until about the 7th round
I had Dawson winning by like a point or two.
Dawson is such a fraud. He needs to fight Pascal again
Even Hopkins constant dirty tactics couldn't save him from getting worked by Chad Dawson. The right man won. And after all these recent robberies in boxing, this is good for the sport. Time for ole' Bernard to move on with his life. He's made a ton of money in the sport, and no longer needs to box.
I had the fight a draw 114-114 so he had every right to be a sore loser to me because he didn't get dominated 117-111
looks like we found the ref who had it a draw
Yes someone should sit BH and interview him and ask how many fights he thinks he lost? He might reluctantly say the first RJJ fight perhaps.
But the judge giving it a draw doesnt help things obviously someone thought it was closer than it was. BH seems to have another great performance in him. It wasnt quite against Tarver, but BH will get his chance again.

Check boxing scene videos...Hopkins is being very kind, and admits he lost...everyone knows I hate Hopkins, but he is acting like a sportsman and congratulating chad
Hopkins will never be dominated. He may be shut out, but not dominated. His defensive style doesn't allow for that. He will smother punches and clinch to avoid combinations against him. It's ugly, but it nullifies taking punishment. So people always look ugly against him, especially when they win, because they would have engaged him more right into the style I mentioned.
I saw and scored this fight with the viewpoint of which fighter could make the other fight his fight. Early on, Hopkins had Dawson angry, upset at the rough tactics used by Hopkins. This took Dawson out of his element and allowed for Hopkins to land more effectively. Rounds to Hopkins there.
However, Dawson soon composed himself and did not allow the rough house tactics to sink in anymore. From that point on, he was able to dictate the pace, for the most part, of the fight and take Hopkins out of his gameplan. Dawson began to come forward with controlled aggression and Hopkins had a difficult time adjusting to that.
It's pretty much that simple. What did Dawson do to win, asked Hopkins? Dawson was typically the first and last one to attack in the great majority of exchanges. Later in the fight, Dawson also didn't stay inside too long to allow Hopkins to get off. This is why he won. Not very difficult to judge this one at all.
You can call it whatever you want but it was a clear loss and Hopkins refused to acknowledge it as such.
Hopkins did lose, at damn near 50 fighting a man 18 years his jr. But he wasn't dominated. In fact Hopkins landed the more damaging blows. Yes he is a sore loser. But there are many of those in boxing. Hopkins is a very competitive guy. I wouldn't expect him to be happy in defeat.
B-Hop did not get dominated last night. Did he lose? Sure, but dominated hardly.

it's hard for a lot of guys to admit defeat, especially if they don't get beat up and feel it was close. but at least all of hopkins fights that he's complained about were all very close, this one being the most clear loss. Hell, glen johnson would complain after losing almost every round of a fight.
No one comes close to matching Glen Johnson in the complaining department.
I've never liked Hopkins, once he said "I'll never lose to a White Boy" that was it for me, that's unacceptable in this day and age. He's constantly trying to foul and milks non-fouls, his biggest strength is his mental game and I respect it immensely as well as his discipline but overall boxing will not miss him as an active fighter.
