    no he was with Eddie mustafa. steward trained him for the following fight against that nobody then chad went with scully

      I respect him for sticking to his word.

      Other people in here are changing their story

      The Hopkins fans in the first round who were loud are nowhere to be seen.

          I like clean punches, and most of the rounds I gave the early rounds to Hopkins and gave a clean sweep to Dawson from the 5th until 9th. The first I gave it even.

          I saw nothing legitimately landing on Hopkins until about the 7th. Everything was arm punches that Hopkins was catching.

          Dawson is just terrible. Hopkins had a surge in the 11th, the 9th I gave to Hopkins for the cleaner punches and because Dawson didn't assert himself.

          Overall, I don't give rounds for meaningless flurries that don't land. Dawson didn't really start landing meaningful punches until the 7th. Just a boring fight overall, but hey, a real judge seemed to be on the same page as me, so hey, vindication
          Maybe you need to rewatch it b/c clean punches Hop landed atleast a maximum of 7

              Sorry Dawson but you let me down in that fight. If you want me back as a fan you need to rematch Pascal and beat him.
              Dawson didn't just let me down in that fight. He left me with 0 points and was the reason I stopped believing in fighters (sans Floyd). Nice to see him back on the right track. I think he should go avenge that loss and right that wrong.

                  i think bernard his knowledge, personality, and experience would make for a awesome boxing analyst. If he's going to box again, it should be as a complimentary or co headliner. Hopkins should never be a headliner on a prime time saturday night slot.

                      Really expected Dawson to do better, but oh well.
