    Had it 116-112 Dawson.

    Didnt see how Hopkins could win this fight. Dawson settled down after the headbutt and took control of the fight. Showed a lot of mental toughness.

        Did Dawson ever land a good punch, neither one of them did. Fight looked more like a hugging match. Sh itty display of the sport of boxing. Terrible fight they both looked affraid to fight. Dawson let the smaller older Hopkins manhandle him for 12 rounds. Never threw many meaningful combinations. neither fighter looked like a champion.

          sadly yes, i think this should be the end for Hopkins. dawson wasn't a good style for him to be able to exploit another young strong guy. but still, Hopkins was never hurt in the fight, I dont think dawson was either though.
          Ya think,In boxing you have to land meaningful punches to hurt the other fighter. Neither did. Very observant.

            While the fight was boring and neither did much, Dawson deserved the victory and proved my prediction wrong. I think Hopkins was completely capable of winning he just didn't commit enough. The straight right hand wasnt thrown enough, he threw no combinations, all the holding was ridiculous, but if he used a jab and stayed busier I think he could have won. I had it 117-111 Dawson. Btw, Dawson did not impress me, again. Not active enough, not enough combos, threw a decent jab but not enough, and in a more technical observation, his distance was horrible throughout the fight. He stayed too close which allowed Bhop to clinch and smother. He could have easily teed off on Hopkins from the right distance but he was either too far or in too close. Anyone else notice this?
