I'm proud of Hopkins!

[deuce_drop]

Proud of what? That he blatantly fouled most of the fight. Opened two cuts with headbutts?

Got outclassed more then he has ever been in 2-3 of those rds?

you're completely guided by the hbo broadcast crew.... 1 cut was ruled and shown to be accidental and the other was shown and proved to be caused by a hopkins lead left hand........

and as for getting outclassed, I have to say you know nothing about bboxing ring generalship as well as the nuances of an offensive defense. hopkins picked off a lot of dawson's shots, as well as made him miss, also, chad was getting credit for everything he threw, not matter how ineffective, all the while I was watching hopkins land cleanly and compubox rang up nothing, that was clear as day to see during the rounds, and the broadcast crew FAILED miserably to report on any of hopkins success inside the ring..... not to mention, eddie cotton is one of the worst refs of all time, a guy who will NEVER LET FIGHTERS FIGHT ON THE INSIDE AND WHO ALWAYS STOPS THE FIGHT ACTION IF THE FIGHTERS EVEN GET CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER, just watch ALL of cotton's fights, he's a ****ing joke to say the least.

but look at dawson at the end of the fight, did he look like someone who felt he won the fight, i don't think so, he looked discouraged, he looked embarrassed in knowing what happened and what he has to now say after getting the nod. all dawson did was suck hopkins d!ck after the fight, he was damn near speechless......


and how can anyone not say SET UP, with DAWSON calling out WARD!!!!!! hhhmmm two gary shaw fighters!?!?!?

isn't there better fights for dawson??? idk, maybe try and avenge the loss to pascal? idk, maybe fight someone IN HIS OWN DIVISION, how classic is it for DAWSON to call out the SMALLER FIGHTER!?!?!

chad dawson won because they're going to try and bank on him, which they couldn't do with hopkins, whether hopkins is young or old, because hopkins is a man who actually sticks to his game plan(s).......

bottom line, dawson did nothing to TAKE the belt..... i am pretty much done with boxing, it might as well be WWE....

for the simple fact that dawson calls out another shaw fighter...... GTFO, how ****ing LAME!!!!

Hey bro, what's the name of that song by Justin Timberlake....something about a river.....?

Agreed.

Yeah, Hopkins lost... and pretty clearly, imo. I felt that Hopkins age showed against Dawson, but it should be expected... Dawson is a young, athletic guy... Hopkins is on his way to collecting his damn pension.

To all the guys ripping on Hopkins for his performance, I'd like to see how your favourites hold up against top guys when they're 47...

I don't remember Foreman or Holmes cheating and fighting dirty when they fought in their 40s. Stop using his age as an excuse for his disgraceful performances. No one cares that he lost to Dawson or that he's boring, they dislike him cause he's a dirty cheat.

[chito]

as much as i hate bhop for his dirty tactics in the ring, i still give him props for fighting like that at 47 years old!

[Bring It On]

He's a good fighter, and had a good career.

But the guy is arrogant, dirty, a poor loser and boring. Good riddance if he quits now. I won't miss him, that's for sure.

[Bushbaby]

sure he came up short tonight but at age 47 he gave a tough fight to a 29 year old prime Chad Dawson, took some solid shots and dished out a few of his own sharp right hands from time to time. Not many guys that age could last with a guy like Dawson.

Give it up to Hopkins, he's had an amazing career. Maybe he retires, maybe he takes one more fight, whatever he decides he's a legend at the end of the day.

Amen Brother, amen. B-Hop still hasn't taken a brutal beating. If it's his last I was satisfied with the 50 YO.

[2012]

I would be proud of him too were he not such a cheater and mature enough to accept defeat

[Mr. Invincible]

Hopkins is a sore loser.

[Mr. Philadel]

Amen Brother, amen. B-Hop still hasn't taken a brutal beating. If it's his last I was satisfied with the 50 YO.

EXACTLY!!!!

big ups to the B.Hop base...WE THE BEST!!!(in my DJ Khaled voice)
