Comments Thread For: Schaefer, Shaw Agree: No Hopkins-Dawson Rematch

[gmc_rfc_06]

B-Hop didn't want to fight Chad in the first place, I certainly don't think he'll want a rematch. Whether the decision is changed doesn't make much difference to me, I don't like that match-up for B-Hop and think Chad would win a wide decision everytime.

I'd much rather see Pascal-Dawson II as their styles mesh better.

The decision should stay the way it is. Everyone knows Dawson didn't stop Hopkins. It's just criminal for Hopkins ot overreact like that for a PPV. I was probably one of the 15 fans who bought the PPV and I want at least half of my money back. Or have some kind of discount for the people who bought it, like 20 dollars off. So the cable companies charge $35. If this decision is overturned, i'm not buying another HBO PPV until next year when I feel like it.

damn dude u prolly the only one that bought it period.

what makes u say he didnt wanna fight him ? he was in the ring right ? then what do u mean .... he dislocated his shoulder , u want him to just get up like its nothing , go dislocate urs and tell me if u could even walk after that. nobody was hitting anybody , so it's not like he was in danger. it was just round 2 of 12 , who knows what wouldve happened... but sayin b hop didnt wanna fight is ****** thats a man that has fought everybody ducks no one

He was in the ring with him last night because he HAD to fight him. Anytime he's had the choice, Bernard has went a different route. I have nothing but the highest respect for B-Hop and he's a sure-fire HOF'er, but Chad was one person he didn't want to fight.

I keep things as unbiased as possible and that's how it's been IMO. In the fight neither guy had really got started, but Dawson was winning on activity and the jab. He would have been happy to do that all night and that's why I don't think he wanted to fight Dawson, it's not a style that suits B-Hop.

As long as the tko isn't changed I'm fine with it. Hopkins ducked Dawson for 3 years, didn't want to fight last night, and now his team would ***** out of a rematch. Don't give this scumbag a belt that he doesn't deserve. Chad Dawson is the better fighter.

It doesnt matter how dirty of a fighter hopkins is nobody deserves to be robbed like that. It has to be overturned because it was not a tko. Why should hopkins have to fight with more disadvantages that he already had. It was the refs fault for stoping the fight. Hopkins never been stoped b4 and i know he takes pride in that so i know if the ref would have told himthat this was going to happen he wouldve got up and faught with a hurt shoulder

Maybe its just me, but I see Dawson actually holding Hopkins legs trying in what looked like an attempt to bring him down.
Did not seem like a simple shoulder shove to me.
Maybe that's just me. Here is the link. Replays start at the 7:30 mark

Anyways, this fight actually did something good for Dawson in that it brought some attention to one of his fights. Even if it is in a negative way, but hey at least people now know who Bad Chad Dawson is.

It wasn't a dislocated shoulder it was supposedly a low grade separated AC joint which is not nearly as bad. Even if his shoulder had been separated he should've been able to continue once it's popped back in. Dislocation only hurts when it's out, once it's back in the pain drops to the level of discomfort. I should know because I needed surgery on both my shoulders because of constant slipping and dislocation. I don't think he was looking to quit I think he was looking for a point off and when that didn't happen he expected a NC/DQ.

He didn't lift using that arm, his hand touched behind Hopkins' leg for a split second. All he did is posture up from a ducked position and Hopkins was on his back so he lifted him by raising his body up and shrugged him off.

fight wasn't gonna be good anyway
screw a rematch
make Dawson-Pascal 2, or Dawson vs Cloud
