That is really Hopkins chance, if Dawson comes to fight. If Dawson boxes using his physical advantages B-Hop is going to be kind of stuck.

If Dawson comes to fight and hurt B-Hop he falls into the trap most fighters fall into against B-Hop, that really is not who Dawson is though and in this fight his cool calm mindset will really pay off.

That is why I like Dawson in the fight really, he is just not the sort of fighter that will make it easy for B-Hop.

When your opponents don't come to fight because they fear your godlike power and you shut them down into a shell there's not much you can do.

agree that if Dawson is smart, focused and mixes up his offense and defense, he should breeze to a victory -- it all depends on how Dawson approaches this fight -- he needs to be purposeful and active from the opening bell, which he tends not to be -- he can't be lulled into bHop's pace and he has to at least make BHop feel and respect his punches -- the only way BHop wins this fight is to control its pace with his defense, wrestling and general chippiness
