What happens if hopkins switches geers with dawson??

[gatorDelux]

like fight agressivly like the old mw brawler hopkins thenswithc gears and box

would this keep him guessing

would it work???

should he box or pressure dawson

is he too old to pressure for teh whole 12????

anyone have a prediction or thoughts about tactics for this one>?????

[daggum]

the good thing for hopkins is he's the a-side so if it's a close decision he will probably get it unlike the taylor fights where taylor was the future star in the making or against calzaghe where hbo was heavily promoting him at the time and already had jones-calzaghe ppv done if calzaghe won.

[Larry the boss]

Yep,he has to keep Dawson guessing and dont allow him to get off

Are you forgetting that Hopkins is 46 years old? It's been noted that Hopkins has stamina problems since he turned 40, he CAN'T fight at a high-work rate. Watch his fights, he's proven time and again that he can no longer do that.

Are you forgetting that Dawson is a very skilled boxer himself? You think changing gears would fool Dawson?

So who do you put your e-points in? Let's make a bet of 10 Million.

I have Hopkins winning over Dawson.

Hopkins wouldn't be able to fight like that for 12 rounds.
He would be gassed after 5.

This is funny since you basically contradicted yourself. You said you hope hopkins performs well, which would give Dawson 100% credit if he wins and age wouldn't be an excuse. Yet here you clearly state he's 46 years old and can't do the things he once did before.

Anyways, I think he will fight more aggressive similar to how he fought Pascal. He'll never be able to be the old MW brawler because of his age, but he can still be the aggressor.

[The Gambler1981]

B-Hop needs to be consistent in this fight, if he really pushes himself I doubt he can be consistent over the whole fight at a high aggression level.

To me he would be playing into Dawson hands doing that, where if he just stays consistent he can then use his energy to better take advantage of Dawson inconsistencies.

I doubt the fight is going to have a crystal clear winner, so it will all be about the moments each had, the clearer each guy can make those moments the better for each.

[bojangles1987]

He's not going to have a choice but to walk at Dawson I think. Dawson is going to backpedal, circle the ring, and use his athletic advantages.

If B-hop mixes it up,(boxing & applying pressure), Dawson is toast. But B-Hop cannot fight at that slow pace that he likes so much, That's Dawson country. Dawson wants a slow paced tactical match. He has the advantages in 1. But if B-Hop mixes it up, Dawsosn will get confused & frusterated. B-Hop's stamina is on point, he's just a slow started. dawson fights at a slow pace period, speed it up & slow it down & he's done.
