    Every one thinks otherwise but I thing Dawson is going to outbox hopkins, Hopkins is going to try to throw 2 punches and hug but dawson is just to strong for him now. he will outpoint him with his speed, length and boxing ability...

    In other words boring fight!
    but I will watch it haha

      more entertaining than expected. i think b-hop will be the same as always, but i think dawson will be more active. he'll win on his youth and athleticism.

          8-4 Dawson wins a clear decision win, and Hopkins hangs up the gloves. They better have great judges for this fight, fight could be very hard to score at times.

            I see Hopkins sticking his tongue out at Dawson during the fight as well as doing a few push-ups in between rounds...then he'll proceed to win by a split decision.

              Hopkins will do some crazy ****, and pull out with the win. Chad better like the taste of right hinds with his southpaw ass.

                It could get a bit ugly, like Hopkins/Jones 2. IF Hopkins were to come forward and press the action. He would lunge in, throw a flurry and smother Dawson against the ropes.

                However my hunch is that Hopkins is gonna take a page out of the Dawson/Pascal book, and dictate the pace by forcing Dawson to be the one coming forward, with Hopkins being the one, circling around, trying to Box (I.E. Similar to what he tried VS Tarver). Dawson looks average when he is the one that's coming forward. Most say the Pascal fight was a fluke, but even against Ian Gardner in 2005, Chad looked like crap because Gardner's strategy was to stick and move. Fortunately for Chad, Ian was a blown up Jr.Middleweight with no punching power.

                Give me Hopkins by UD, boxing from the outside, with Chad looking lost chasing him around.
                If B-Hop decides to be the one coming forward, and lets Dawson be the guy that back paddles and boxes, it's gonna be much uglier and closer fight.

                  Think most are backing Hopkins now.

                  Dawson needs to up the pace and get Hopkins gasping for air by the late rounds.
