Comments Thread For: Roach: If Dawson Stays Focused, He Can Beat Hopkins

[Boxingwizard]

Before Dawson got caught with every power punches Pascal was throwing, Dawson was the next best thing. Now, people are not sure if he will be able to beat a 46 year old man. Hopkins, if is body can follow, will school Dawson and it's not a question of hate, it's just what i saw here, live in Montreal and Quebec city.

I think Dawson will give Hopkins a beating that he has never experienced before.

Dawson puts gramps down.

I believe he will beat him in a decision.

dawson better be in great shape for this one...personally i'm not too crazy about steward working with him (preferred mayweather sr) but if he uses his boxing skills and be ready to go to war, he should give hopkins a run for his money...

Dawson should be able to put a beat-down on BHop at this point -- as long as he doesn't come in scared and tentative -- he should go at BHop from round 1, be the aggressor and rarely let up -- Dawson has it in him to do this but has to come in with the right mindset -- not give Bhop too much respect

I hope Hopkins kos dawson

I don't think Chad knows the meaning of foot on the gas but, if he does. Its him. Just be careful of BHops straight right/sneaky hard left hook or the head butts!!!

Dawson got this one. The key in beating Hopkins is to out box him. I expect Dawson to fight like the bigger man, by not giving up any of his physical advantages of height and reach, keeping the action at a distance, while circling in the center of the ring and keeping B-Hops at the end of his longer punches with fast jabs and combination punching. As long as Dawson stays off the ropes and doesn't stand and trade with Hopkins, he should win this fight going away.
